Dinesh D’Souza Facing Law Suit for "2000 Mules"

[Vol Main]

“In fact, the video of Mr. Andrews shows him legally dropping off ballots for himself and his family, a voting method expressly authorized by Georgia law. At all times, Defendants knew that their portrayals of Mr. Andrews were lies, as was the entire narrative of 2,000 Mules.”

So this is how free speech will die. Alex Jones and now this. They will just use the courts to discourage counter-narratives.

Yep. And progressive liberals are all for it. Any information they don’t like has to be silenced.

Add to that the fact that it appears Google is actively supressing conservative voices and Facebook and Twitter certainly aren't biased at all.

FACT!

Does the link correlate to the premise of the post this time?

So if an individual is put into a video like this and called a criminal they should have no recourse? Defamation shouldn't be against law?

I haven't seen the movie....do they say Mr. Andrews name specifically??? They do blurr his face according to the article, so if he himself verified it was him...I'm not sure there is a case here..

You make a good point. I'm assuming he can prove in his lawsuit that the ballots he dropped off were indeed only his family members. If he is innocent, then by all means he should be able to sue. I will say ballot harvesting is a real issue and unfortunately there are going to be innocent people that get caught up in something like this. This is where law enforcement should be stepping in to make a thorough investigation.

He will have to prove he has been harmed by it as well correct?

I believe he would. I'm all for justice, I just like equal justice for all.

If he isnt mentioned by name and his face is blurred, I dont see that he has much of a claim.

 

[jvol1]

Free speech wont protect you from liability if you're libeling and slandering people.

 

[davethevol]

If he was dropping off ballots for him and his family, what proof is there that he didn’t alter the votes? This drop off/mail in stuff shouldn’t be legal,

Lol, comedy. A very accurate documentary.

Correct

It has always been actionable to publish lies especially about non-public figures.

It appears law enforcement did since the doc led to someone calling him out for it

A state probe by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found that Andrews had committed no wrongdoing, and dismissed a complaint filed against him as a result of the documentary in May

Times are changing. Twitter today will be busy with Paul Pelosi attack and elections next week.

NM already covered.

I know know nothing about this movie, but the #1 defense to defamation (as established in the 1700s) is that the statement is known to be true.

The first case on record was colony Governor that sued a reporter that printed something that harmed his character. The article in fact was iron-clad true, so the court set the precedent that a known truth is the defense to defamation.

 

[whodeycin85]

Without ballot tracking there is no way to know if in fact he did or did or did not drop off other ballots...so how can by he truth be known...it's his words vs Thiers

Gime a break, dude. "They" being the people wronged by these liars.

 

[n_huffhines]

Reminds me of this...can't sue the news agency because that would be the end of freedom of speech

Every person that recklessly uses words like racist, white supremacy, etc should be sued for everything they have or go to prison. Sure let’s do it.
