Mike Lindell’s behavior in deposition has earned him a motion for sanctions. See all of the exhibits in one cut.

    “How do you sleep at night? You obviously don’t own a My Pillow.”

    Wow, that was cringe.

      Most attorneys LOVE to give you plenty of rope to hang yourself with. Looks like Lindell did that in spades.

      He’s probably thrilled that Lindell is destroying his defense, committing new offenses, and he doesn’t really care about being called an ‘ambulance chaser’ or ‘disgusting’ 50 times.

          My favorite part is where the attorney asked him to list the other members of the ‘crime family’.

            That was funny but ultimately probably irrelevant to the case except as it relates to giving a view into Lindell’s insanity.

      I know probably most criminals aren’t thrilled with depositions, but the folks questioning these MAGAts probably deserve a medal.

      At least one year free therapy. 😂

        Rattling a dude like lindell is probably therapy in itself. I’d pay to have an opportunity to ruffle this guy’s feathers lol.

      I imagine, if he dislikes Mike Pillow, he was ecstatic. This guy is digging himself a deeeep hole. Oh my his lawyer tells Mike to calm down and hour and half in. Oof.

        More than that, the more you’re not rattled by the angry name-calling, the deeper the other guy goes into it.

      I wanted a strong drink after just sitting through the supercut, I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be for the lawyers on both sides.

      The defence lawyer is going to need a whole case of the good stuff after that fiasco.

    I knew he was nutty, but holy fuck this guy is actually insane.

    If you haven’t, watch at least the first minute of the video. That’s all you need to have your jaw hit the floor at the crazy.

      Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he’s only barely containing.

    For those who don’t know who that is, from Wikipedia:

    Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.

    Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump’s attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.

    This was a fun watch. I thought maybe that he might be a even just a little less combative when the next day started, but no, straight back into it.

    I guess when he started off abusing the lawyer less than 10mins after he met him, that was how this was going to go. Hilarious that the court stenographer refused to come back for another day, I can’t imagine their professionalism is easily tested!

    He is a very scared person.

    Watching dude get sucked into the trap where he thinks that dominating this conversation is what’s important here is just 😙🤌so sweet. The only thing that could be more fun to watch is his face as what he said gets read back to him in a courtroom and he realizes that feeding his ego in this moment is gonna be what costs him his case.

    He complained the judge wouldn’t rule on his motion to dismiss. The next week the judge denied his motion to dismiss. The sanctions request was filled yesterday, so they haven’t responded yet, but we do know that whatever they send will be taking advantage of the “excess pages” rule that their lawyer was too stupid to abide by when they first submitted their motion to dismiss and got it stricken twice. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63296393/coomer-v-lindell/

    Let them all eat shit.
