We've seen that the voting machine companies of Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic have threatened to sue several far-right Trumpist media organizations for defamation for spreading the false claim that their machines intentionally switched votes from authoritarian malignant narcissist Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump to President-elect Joe Biden. One of the organizations that received a warning letter from Dominion Voting Systems was the far-right rabid Trumpist cable channel OAN, and according to this report, they're apparently ignoring it:
"Dominion Voting Systems previously sent OAN letters threatening to sue, accusing the network of spreading the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that the election-technology company manipulated votes in favor of President-elect Joe Biden in the November general election.
Dominion also asked the network to save any documents or correspondence related to Dominion, Insider's Jacob Shamsian previously reported.
In letters reviewed by Insider, OAN responded by requesting Dominion keep records of certain documents so the network can 'preserve its own claims and defenses in the event of litigation.'" (our emphasis)
The OAN wingnuts apparently think they can discourage an imminent defamation lawsuit by one of the most successful law firms in that arena, Clare Locke LLP, by threatening a little discovery of their own. If OAN's legal representation is anything like Trump's Elite Strike Force Power Rangers, with Rudy "Toot Toot" Giuliani and Sidney "Kraken" Powell, this should be quite the shit show, probably ending in major, crippling damages awarded to Dominion. Let's fervently hope so.
