Now Now, let’s be fair, the Ark was not damaged, it was the access road that had to be repaired. After all, since all this global warming stuff, it seems Kentucky is getting hit by torrential rains and they will need that road to load all of the _animals_… You know, the MAGA supporters. ---

Its a goodie but also an oldie, that article is from 2019, and is unrelated to the recent floods in Kentucky. ---

Even conservative judges have a limit. Excellent point–and I’m glad to be reminded of it. During the Mango Menace years we’ve all become so used to grifters being completely open about their grift that Jones’ admission seemed almost routine. But as you say, the courts may see it differently. ---

Gonna post this to two threads where this will be HIGHLY relevant: Ben Collins of NBC is live-reporting that Alex Jones’ lawyers, 12 days ago, sent Alex Jones’ opposing lawyers an image of every text Alex made in a period of time covering _years_. They are being played right now. It’s being called a legitimate “Perry Mason” moment. This also has potential J6 implications as well… > ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Alex Jones’ lawyers, 12 days ago, sent Alex Jones’ opposing lawyers an image of every text Alex made in a period of time covering _years_. I’m not sure what state that trial is in, but in Washington, there are some serious ethical issues involved. Rule 4.4 of the Rules of Professional Conduct talk about a lawyer’s obligation when receiving something by mistake. Here are the comments to the rule: > [2] Paragraph (b) recognizes that lawyers sometimes receive a document or electronically stored > information that was mistakenly sent or produced by opposing parties or their lawyers. A > document or electronically stored information is inadvertently sent when it is accidentally > transmitted, such as when an e-mail or letter is misaddressed or a document or electronically > stored information is accidentally included with information that was intentionally transmitted. > **If a lawyer knows or reasonably should know that such a document or electronically stored** > **\> information was sent inadvertently, then this Rule requires the lawyer to promptly notify the** > **\> sender** **in order to permit that person to take protective measures**. Whether the lawyer is required > to take additional steps, such as returning the document or electronically stored information, is a > matter of law beyond the scope of these Rules, as is the question of whether the privileged status > of a document or electronically stored information has been waived. Similarly, this Rule does not > address the legal duties of a lawyer who receives a document or electronically stored information > that the lawyer knows or reasonably should know may have been inappropriately obtained by the > sending person. For purposes of this Rule, “document or electronically stored information” > includes in addition to paper documents, e-mail and other forms of electronically stored > information, including embedded data (commonly referred to as “metadata”), that is subject to > being read or put into readable form. Metadata in electronic documents creates an obligation > under this Rule only if the receiving lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the metadata > was inadvertently sent to the receiving lawyer.
