We’ve got to. The truth needs to come out. So if the truth does not come out here, if they keep suppressing it, what other recourse do I have?” he said. “I’ve got to bring them to court.” He’s just begging for a lawsuit now. ---

Either he’s one of those people with an unclear notion of how a court process works, or has the attitude of _“I know he didn’t, I want people to remember they heard him having to deny he did”_. It would be sad if this is an example of someone who has fallen prey to the delusion to the point he will immolate himself under the impression of being the one who has to martyr himsel for “the truth”. One almost wishes it’s a case of someone who took a look at President DJT and said to himself, _“screw pillows, THIS is how I can get people to just send me money for nothing!”_, as you can despise a con man with a clean conscience. ---

The most charitable interpretation of Lindell is he’s simply insane and belongs in a facility. The less charitable POV is that by Lindell suing Dominion, or cornering Dominion into suing him, Lindell opens the doors to GoFundMe (or whatever platform) grifting. His day job has collapsed around his ears, so now he _needs_, suit or no, a fresh source of income. Staying fully in the (RW) public eye daily lets him make those pleas for cash daily. ---

Go Fund me marks don’t have infinite resources. If this means that they donate to this lost cause, rather than to Republican candidates election campaigns, then I don’t see it as that big a problem.
