  1. Lindell's claim or at least his point is not without merit.

    I sort of scratched my head a bit too when I saw that cozy arrangement with Fox in the release of that information from McCarthy. Hello, what's up with that? If it is out in the public domain now, put it out in the public domain.

    First... what type of fool would lend this unhinged idiot money?

    Mike Lindell says he had to borrow $10 million last year to keep MyPillow afloat — and that he's running out of cash, too

    And now he has fallen to hawking his wares on QAnon podcasts. Which is not all that much difference than hawking them on Fox I guess.

    Let's see what is up with the My Pillow Idiot.

    My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell ordered to follow through with $5 million payment to expert who debunked his false election data

    My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has been ordered to shell out $5 million to an expert who debunked his data related to the 2020 election, according to a decision by the arbitration panel obtained by CNN.

    Lindell, a purveyor of election conspiracies, vowed to award the multimillion-dollar sum to any cyber security expert who could disprove his data. An arbitration panel awarded Robert Zeidman, who has decades in software development experience, a $5 million payout on Wednesday after he sued Lindell over the sum.

    CNN has obtained arbitration documents and video depositions, including a deposition of Lindell, related to the dispute.

    “Based on the foregoing analysis, Mr. Zeidman performed under the contract,” the arbitration panel wrote in its decision. “He proved the data Lindell LLC provided, and represented reflected information from the November 2020 election, unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data. Failure to pay Mr. Zeidman the $5 million prized was a breach of the contract, entitling him to recover.”

    The decision marks yet another blow to the MyPillow CEO’s credibility after he publicly touted unproven claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Lindell has also faced defamation suits related to his election claims.

    “The lawsuit and verdict mark another important moment in the ongoing proof that the 2020 election was legal and valid, and the role of cybersecurity in ensuring that integrity,” said Brian Glasser, founder of Bailey & Glasser, LLP, who represented Zeidman. “Lindell’s claim to have 2020 election data has been definitively disproved.”

    In a brief phone interview with CNN, Lindell said “this will end up in court” and slammed the media and professed the need to get rid of electronic voting machines.

    Lindell convened a so-called “cyber symposium” in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in 2021, designed to showcase the data he claimed to have obtained related to the 2020 election. He invited journalists, politicians and cybersecurity experts to attend.

    “The symposium was to get the big audience and have all the media there and then they – the cyber guys – saying yes this data is from the 2020 election and you better look at how they intruded into our machines, our computers, and that was the whole purpose,” Lindell said in a deposition obtained by CNN.

    He also announced a “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” – in which anyone who could prove his data was unrelated to the 2020 election could win the multimillion payout – to get more traction in the media for his election fraud claims.

    “I thought, well what if I put up a $5 million challenge out there, then it would get news, which it did,” Lindell said in the deposition. “So, then you got some attention.”

    Zeidman signed up for the challenge, agreed to its contractual terms and discovered Lindell’s data to be largely nonsensical.

    While Lindell has made a variety of outlandish and unproven claims about the 2020 election, such as insisting foreign governments infiltrated voting machines, the arbitration panel made clear its judgment was solely focused on whether the data Lindell provided to experts was related to the 2020 election.

    “The Contest did not require participants to disprove election interference. Thus, the contestants’ task was to prove the data presented to them was not valid data from the November 2020 election,” the arbitration panel wrote.

    “The Panel was not asked to decide whether China interfered in the 2020 election. Nor was the Panel asked to decide whether Lindell LLC possessed data that proved such interference, or even whether Lindell LLC had election data in its possession,” according to the arbitration panel. “The focus of the decision is on the 11 files provided to Mr. Zeidman in the context of the Contest rules.”

    The panel’s decision ticked through each of the data files provided Zeidman, determining repeatedly that the data was unrelated to the 2020 election.

    It’s unclear when or if Zeidman will ever be able to collect his payout. Lindell recently told right-wing podcaster and former Trump administration official Steve Bannon that his company took out nearly $10 million in loans as he battles defamation suits related to his false election claims.

    During his deposition, Lindell said he was never concerned someone might actually win the challenge.

    “No, because they have to show it wasn’t from 2020 and it was,” Lindell said, chuckling.

    The Pillow Idiot opened his fool mouth once again.

    Trump Will Have 'More Votes Than We Have People' In 2024, Says MyPillow CEO: 'It'll Be Like Pennsylvania'
    https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08...4-says-mypillow-ceo-itll-be-like-pennsylvania

    MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell foresees a sweeping victory for former President Donald Trump in the 2024 elections.

    What Happened: Lindell, in discussion with podcast host Steve Bannon, said the multiple indictments against Trump were merely amplifying his follower base, Raw Story reported.

    “And I and you know, if they keep indicting our real president, Donald Trump, he’ll have more votes than we have people in the United States,” he said.

    “It’ll be like Pennsylvania, which has more votes than voters! Every time they attack him, his numbers go up.”

    Lindell also cast aspersions on Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis’ alleged collusion with Dominion Voting Systems before the 2020 election.

    The MyPillow executive further alluded to a strategy to rectify perceived voting irregularities, which he intends to unveil at his imminent election summit. He encouraged his listeners to register for the event, asserting, “I think we’re over a million now.”

    Why It Matters: After losing the 2020 election, Trump stated that in Pennsylvania, there were “205,000 more ballots than you had voters.” However, this claim has been debunked by state officials and fact-checkers, who pointed out that it is untrue. It seems Trump was referencing an incorrect number provided by a Republican state legislator who used incomplete data.

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) had said despite Trump’s legal woes, including a third indictment related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election result, his support base seems to be solidifying.

    Jordan said this expansion of support is due to a long-term sentiment held by people outside of Washington, who perceive the former president as being under attack by the nation's capital.

    However, a recent poll reveals a split opinion, with a majority of voters supporting the indictment while others view it as a political move to hinder Trump’s career.

    A new poll from Morning Consult shows that 52% of voters approve of the third indictment against Trump, while 40% disapprove and 8% have no opinion on the matter.

    Meanwhile, Lindell’s company, MyPillow, is grappling with significant business challenges, attributed to his persistent claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
