... that no reasonable person would believe the claims were true, would probably be a good defense.
Going to be interesting to watch. I think her biggest issue still comes back to the fact that she is a lawyer.
In my (non legal knowlwdge) opinion Mike Lindell could probably use that defense since he is a convicted felon, and his company has been sued many times and lost for false claims. So he can show a pattern of being less then honest with what he says so nobody should believe him or his claims.
Slightly OT but since it was in my reply yesterday. People like Spendulous and a few others really irritate me here. It's not the politics, it's the lack of discussion anyplace else on the forum. Left / right / center does not matter, the P&S part of the forum is an open area for everyone to say what they want about P&S. BUT if you are only posting here and not anywhere else on the forum then you are just here to talk politics and not about
BTC / crypto. There are other places to talk about that on the net. But come on, at least give an occasional post elsewhere.

For Spendulous specifically, I reviewed his early posts, and it appears he might have been a miner in 2013 or possibly before. It looks like his early posts consisted of a lot in the P&S sub, and in the economics sub with posts related to bitcoin and how it relates to economics. My guess is this place is special to him because he likely made a lot of money via bitcoin. The political leanings of the userbase has shifted over time, and I think more people probably agreed with his views when he first started posting here.
I would also note that I will make a post the majority of the time when I read a thread in P&S for the first time, but I will read bitcoin-related threads and not make a post most of the time. Sometimes I will add a bitcoin-related thread to my watchlist, and not post in the thread for months, if ever.
Looking at the last 100 or so of your posts way more then 1/2 of them are elsewhere. Did not do a full count since I am on mobile. Hell even if only 10% of posts are elsewhere that does not bother me. But when I take a casual look at 1000s of posts going back years and someone never leaves P&S then I just wonder why they are here. As for Spendulous 2013 era posts it looks like for a short time he was posting elsewhere buy by Jan 2014 was in P&S only. Once again, on mobile so I did not check every post just a quick glance though the list.
It's just my view. I might mention
BTC on the motorcycle forum I use in their open discussion area.
I might discuss politics in the several tech discussion areas that I am in, but it's not the main reason I am there.
And unlike here there seems to be no people who just sit in the open discussion areas elsewhere.
Either way it's not that important, just a gripe of mine.

Edit since someone just pinged me: No, I don't care if you spend all your time in the other languages part of the forum, a lot of people don't speak / understand English.
