Alex Jones’ lawyer sent his entire phone’s data to the opposing counsel, and he didn’t get a new trial. Now if that’s not a bad lawyer, I don’t know what is.

I doubt trump will get a new trial. I’m not even sure there’s a decent lawyer left in the country that would work that idiot.

Alex Jones still hasnt paid a dime of the 1.5 billion he owes either.. he never will and I doubt trump ever will pay any of these settlements either.

Alex Jones’ lawyer

Was that the same one he had when he said the reason he didn't know his own children's ages in a custody hearing was that he ate some chili the night before and it was spicy?

Because no matter how crazy legal cases have gotten, I don't think I'll ever forget that gem
