Alex Jones did WHAaaAAAaattT????

[TomC]

Meanwhile in Connecticut, the lawyers for Jones have been summoned to proceedings considering sanctioning them for releasing medical records of plaintiffs.

Another interesting question is "How did they get the records?"

HIPPAA is federal law, I think.
I dunno.

I don't think the medical files were on Infowars employees but on some of the kids that were killed.

Either way it makes me a little sad the full contents can never be released publicly.

I'd like to know how he got ahold of PMI.

Discovery--for establishing the future earnings. It doesn't surprise me that they had such records.

45.2 M punitive.

Appears Texas has a cap on punitive damages. Probably will only pay $750K of that.

It's my understanding the cap is 3 X actual, making it 12 million.

I think it's even less in Texas.

Some lawyers are saying that since the events causing this action didn't happen in Texas the Texas limits don't apply.

They chose Texas tort law to sue him. Kinda stuck with that. The only alternative is to say somehow Connecticut law applies. But that has an even tighter cap than Texas.

I've no more sympathy for Jones than the McMichaels. But shouldn't this post have begun with "It is reported..."?

To think, the amount of time wasted at this web board for 9/11 CT because of that guy. We should sue! Maybe get back a few grand for our time.

Jones on his show said he would pay for information on the hackers that put the kiddie porn on his phone.

Is this like saying "I'm still trying to find that one-armed man .."?

Or you can listen to the audio. Or better yet skip to the last part where the bully "origin" story is told.

Alex in Wonderland - This American Life

Alex Jones spread the idea that Sandy Hook was a hoax, on his radio show and website for years after the shooting. He's probably the country's most famous conspiracy theorist.

www.thisamericanlife.org

The most disturbing part is that the people who knew him in high school who knew he was a bully and a constant liar, when they were asked about the stuff he says on his show now like "Obama is a Muslim," even they say, yeah but that could still be true.

Tucker ‘Sh*tting Himself’ That His Alex Jones Texts May Leak

In this week’s edition of Confider, we reveal how the Fox News star is deeply concerned about his personal texts with the raving conspiracy blowhard possibly leaking.

www.thedailybeast.com

Tucker Carlson is “shitting himself” over the possibility that texts between him and far-right conspiracy loon Alex Jones will leak, a source close to the Fox News star told Confider.

Carlson and the raving Infowars ranter trade text messages on a daily basis, according to two people familiar with their relationship. If made public, these sources said, the text messages would be “highly embarrassing” for Carlson.

Alex Jones' wife said she is 'unaware' and 'upset' her husband sent a nude photo of her to Roger Stone

The nude photo was included in a trove of Alex Jones' texts accidentally sent to lawyers for Sandy Hook parents, the attorney said.

sports.yahoo.com

The wife of conservative radio host Alex Jones told Insider on Tuesday that she was "unaware" her husband sent a nude photo of her to former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone.

The illicit picture was among a trove of text messages that Jones' own lawyer accidentally turned over to opposing counsel in a defamation damages trial involving the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim.

Mark Bankston, who represented the parents in the case, told The Young Turks on Monday that Jones' legal team accidentally turned Jones' text messages — including a nude photo of Jones' wife, Erika Wulff-Jones, that was sent to Stone.

Wulff-Jones confirmed to Insider that she didn't know about the text message exchange, but seemed uninterested in pursuing charges against her husband.

"Honestly I was unaware that this occurred," Wulff-Jones told Insider. "I'm sure this was some type of brag exchange, look how hot my wife is type thing."

"I am upset that he took privilege to send the image to someone without my knowledge. However, that's really the least of my problems right now," Wulff-Jones added.

Well, that answers the question of whether it was consentual.

Seeing Alex Jones is a habitual liar, I wouldn't believe him if he said the sky was blue. There could be legitimate domestic violence claims between he and his wife, but I wouldn't just take his say that it was so.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

I watched a video on YouTube about the leak, and how Jones' lawyer fucked up beyond all possible and legal measures as when the leak was discovered, the prosecutor reported it and the defense attorney didn't actually go the legal route to plug the leak. He made some non-legally binding request and that was that. So either he fucked up terribly or he fucked his client intentionally. In either case, likely a case for malpractice for Jones to win. Likely wouldn't get much in damages though as virtually all that info should have been turned over. 300 GB worth.
