MyPillow CEO Sanctioned Over Quest For Election Docs
By Carolyn Muyskens ·

Law360 (November 29, 2022, 7:51 PM EST) -- A Michigan federal judge on Tuesday slapped MyPillow CEO and election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell with sanctions for filing overbroad subpoenas seeking a county's voting data, in a failed attempt to defend himself from Dominion Voting Systems' defamation claims.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Green denied Lindell's subpoena requests and ordered him to pay Kent County's legal bills, finding Lindell failed to take any steps to tailor the subpoena to avoid "undue burden or expense." Lindell cast such a wide net for the county's documents related to the 2020 election that the judge commented he "can't imagine anything that net would not capture."

"It is eminently demonstrated that the breadth of this subpoena could not be greater," Judge Green said.

Judge Green agreed that the subpoenas appeared to be a fishing expedition, pointing to the request for all records related to the county's administration of the 2020 presidential election, a request so broad that Lane noted it could be interpreted to include images of voters' ballots as well as voter rolls, compromising voter confidentiality.

"No effort was made, that I can discern, to narrow the scope to information that may be relevant to Mr. Lindell's litigation," Judge Green said in his ruling from the bench.

Judge Green also knocked Lindell for failing to fulfill the subpoena issuer's duty to craft the subpoena to avoid undue burden and expense to a nonparty to a lawsuit, chiding Lindell for taking "no steps" to work with the county.

If I was Ronna, I'd give it to him.

That is one job I wouldn't want right now. (Well ever, but especially right now).

You'd have to be an idiot to sell your soul to the orange one. So it's all part and parcel of being a useful idiot... hence her being selected.

Oversimplified. Her ambitions exceeded her moral fortitude and she miscalculated the arc of trump's leadership of the GOP.

Suffer Well.

Possibly but here’s how I see it. Trump has a long history of screwing people who were loyal to him. It has never been a secret. The end result is always the same. Trump turns his back on you and you end up holding the bag for one of his crimes and looking like the idiot that you are.

So… you’d have to being a complete fucking moron to sell your soul to Trump.

Yeah, surprisingly (maybe not I guess) there IS no shortage of soul selling morons.

I've noticed i don't see his pillow advertisements nearly as often as years past. I wonder if business is slacking off because people know he's a wacko.

I made the mistake of clicking on Bannon's "War Room" site yesterday (digging into some local election-related buffoonery) and noticed My Pillow banner ads all over it. I guess he understands his new target demographic.

Sad trombone....

Quote:

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, says he had to borrow $10 million in 2022 just to keep his pillow company afloat.
Speaking to Insider on Wednesday night, Lindell said that to keep MyPillow going, he borrowed "about 4 million in May, 2 million in the summer, and 4 million in September."
And on top of that, Lindell said he's personally been borrowing money to stay liquid, too.
...
Lindell told Insider on Wednesday night that his "burn rate" is currently still at "a million a month," though part of this now goes to funding his newly formed "Election Crime Bureau." The bureau consists of 40 staff members who he says are working hard to uncover more information about the 2020 election.
When asked if he's finally run out of money, Lindell said he's "still earning money" but is spending the majority of any profit he reaps on attempts to try to prove the 2020 election was rigged.

Imagine ruining yourself financially trying to find evidence of fraud in an election after even Trump admitted to his own aides that he lost.

At least Trump pretends he won in order to grift off his supporters. You have to be a special kind of dumb to go bankrupt trying to defend Trump.

A man walks up to a brick wall and slams his head upside it. He backs away momentarily to ponder the absurdity he has just witnessed upon himself and then proceeds to slam his head against the wall again. Go figure.

Not sad, evil. Scorched earth. He is going to lose the lawsuit against Dominion, so he will burn all the money he has including his company. Wouldn't be surprised if he is hiding a bunch in offshore accounts and crypto.

You give the mypillow guy more credit in analytical skills than he has demonstrated thus far.

Just as jmh points out that I may have given Lindy more credit than due, noting that i might do a sig line gives me more credit in computer literacy than due. Sent without a self reference but with the understanding that it fits.
