KENT COUNTY, MI – A judge rejected MyPillow founder Mike Lindell’s demand for Kent County election records as a costly “fishing expedition” in Lindell’s effort to defend a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Phillip Green on Tuesday, Nov. 29, granted a motion by Kent County Clerk Lisa Posthumus Lyons to quash Lindell’s subpoena.

The judge said Lindell’s request was unduly burdensome and ordered Lindell to cover the county’s legal costs.

“It is eminently demonstrated that the breadth of the subpoena could not be greater,” Green said in an hour-long hearing at the federal courthouse in Grand Rapids.

Any day that Lindell gets his hat handed to him is a good day.

1. The judge said Lindell's request was unduly burdensome and ordered Lindell to cover the county's

legal costs.

2. He's Going To Pay Court Costs?

With what money? He's already spent more money on this nonsense than he ever had.
If he's not dead broke, he should be and some real journalists should investigate who.is really paying for all this.

3. Not court costs; attorney's fees.

The costs related with the subpoena would probably just be a service fee and some mileage — which his attorney paid on his behalf, anyway. The fees to make and defend the motion will be a lot higher!

9. My Error

I read it correctly. I erred when I posted.
Thanks for the clarification.

6. Lindell says sales are down because ... cancel culture. . . . nt

8. Which Is Fine By Me

Crappy products, anyway.
But, they weren't making that much money before he was "canceled".
Operating margins of under 40%, then SG&A and enormous debt service.
It was a marginally successful company before he messed it up.

4. Pay court costs?

He will have to raise the price on his slippers which are already $130.

[ProfessorGAC]

10. $65

Like everything else, they're a two-fer.
They're also not selling. His inventory carrying expense is huge.
A warehouse full of stuff nobody wants.

7. Good judgement. Lindell defamed WITHOUT those records

Lindell can easily defend himself with the evidence already out in the open, because that is what he used to make his claim. Easily, if the defamation was not bogus from the get-go.

11. Mike Pillow belongs in a nut house, before he hurts someone or himself.

[SergeStorms]

13. He seriously wants to be....

Speaker of the House. 🙄 I think he has all the regular Trump lunatics on his side, but beyond that he doesn't have enough support to hold up his pants.

[DFW]

18. I think that this point, he'd settle for "relevant."

Instead, all he gets is a Gilbert and Sullivan song.

12. Everything is right with the world, when that happens. ...

Well, not everything, but you get the idea.

15. Why isn't this idiot broke yet?

[Captain Zero]

17. Oh he will report he is AT TAX TIME

Like his Orange Snowbird buddy. When Lindell moves to Florida, that is when he will be going bankrupt.

19. Brain addled idiot.

20. The more people are woke, the less pillows he sells

and the less souls are infected with madness
