MAGAt Alex Jones Was Too Sick to Be Deposed by Sandy Hook Families, Not Too Sick to Host Infowars

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claims to have been beset by a mysterious medical condition days before he was scheduled for a deposition in a lawsuit over his false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.

But lawyers for the victims’ families suing Jones are suspicious about his claim that he’s now too sick to sit for the deposition, pointing out that Jones managed to host his InfoWars show for hours while he was supposedly receiving emergency care from a doctor.

Jones’ mystery 'illness' first made an appearance in a Monday motion by his lawyers, who sought to delay the deposition after learning that Jones was “under the care of a physician for medical conditions that require immediate, and possibly, emergency testing.” A lawyer for Jones claimed in a motion that Jones hadn’t given him permission to reveal the medical condition.

That hasn’t convinced lawyers for the Sandy Hook families. In a court filing on Tuesday, they called Jones’ mystery illness an “obvious gambit” meant to prevent Jones from answering questions under oath.

In this country, and there's only one guy that can change that, Garland, and he's not instilling any confidence in that endeavor.

Day 98 since the select committee sent DOJ the Mark Meadows criminal referral.
Day 70 since the Michigan AG sent the Feds the fake elector referral.

Going after GQP politicians or former GQP politicians would make Garland appear to be partisan, let alone going after a former GQP president.
