A top Republican election official in Arizona filed a defamation lawsuit Thursday against Kari Lake, who falsely claims she lost the 2022 race for governor because of fraud

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said he's faced "violent vitriol and other dire consequences" because of lies spread by Lake, including death threats and the loss of friendships

Lake is a former Phoenix television news anchor who quickly built an enthusiastic political following as a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him

Richer's lawyers wrote in their complaint that Lake has the right to criticize Richer but not to spread lies that bring him harm

Quoted By:

Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said he's faced "violent vitriol and other dire consequences" because of lies spread by Lake, including death threats and the loss of friendships.

"Rather than accept political defeat, rather than get a new job, she has sought to undermine confidence in our elections and has mobilized millions of her followers against me," Richer wrote in an op-ed in The Arizona Republic.

Lake is a former Phoenix television news anchor who quickly built an enthusiastic political following as a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump and his lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. She went on to narrowly lose her own race for Arizona governor last year along with a lawsuit challenging the results.

Despite her losses in court, she continues to claim that Richer and other Maricopa County officials interfered in the election to prevent her from winning.

A spokesperson for Lake did not immediately respond to a request for comment. She is openly considering a run for U.S. Senate and is a leading contender to be Trump's running mate in his 2024 presidential campaign.

The suit, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, names Lake, her campaign and her political fundraising group as defendants. In addition to unspecified monetary damages, Richer is seeking a court order declaring Lake's statements false and requiring her to delete them from social media.

U.S. Supreme Court precedent sets a high bar for defamation cases brought by public officials like Richer. But Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit against Fox News Channel over false claims about its vote-counting equipment resulted in damaging disclosures of internal Fox messages and a $787.5 million settlement.

Richer's lawyers wrote in their complaint that Lake has the right to criticize Richer but not to spread lies that bring him harm.

The suit takes issue with two claims in particular — that Richer intentionally had 19-inch ballot images printed on 20-inch paper, causing counting problems, and that he injected 300,000 bogus ballots. It details nearly three dozen times she made the claims publicly on social media or at rallies and news conferences.

The suit says Richer has faced death threats, including one that was prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department, and has spent thousands of dollars on home security. He said he and his wife have altered their routines and law enforcement has stepped up patrols around their home and workplaces.

"She has gone far outside of the bounds of protected free speech as guaranteed under the First Amendment and the Arizona Constitution," Richer wrote in The Republic.

Do you seriously think there's some sort of massive conspiracy theory to rig the election for democrats under everyone's nose that involved perhaps millions of people? Why can't it just be that Trump and Kari Lake are a sore losers? That and that the American public doesn't actually understand how normal voting works, let alone mail-in ballots since they don't teach the process in schools. Why is everyone supposedly corrupt, but you're the singlar 70000 IQ patriots that's immuned to all biases and propaganda?

Actually it does. Murder is a criminal offense and it has to be proven in a court of law. Which it failed to do. Someone who is proven innocent of murder in a court of law is not a murderer.

The difference is that there's no doubt Rittenhouse killed those people, it just wasn't murder. Per the court, it was rightfully justified self defense.

Equating OJ to Rittenhouse is retarded. Thats like equating Casey Anthony to any random woman who wants an abortion.

He was found not guilty of murder. In the US, you are innocent until proven guilty. Finding you not guilty effectively finds you innocent. Cope.

Again, he was found not guilty of murder, so there objectively was no murder.

The term you're looking for is "lawful self defense shooting". Self defense is objectively not murder.

You may continue to cope.

>In addition to shifting politics in Moscow, Kryuchkov’s difficulty had to do with intelligence gathering. The results from KGB officers abroad had been disappointing
>In January 1984 Kryuchkov addressed the problem during a biannual review held in Moscow, and at a special conference six months later. The urgent subject: how to improve agent recruitment. The general urged his officers to be more “creative.” Previously they had relied on identifying candidates who showed ideological sympathy toward the USSR: leftists, trade unionists and so on. By the mid-1980s these were not so many. So KGB officers should “make bolder use of material incentives”: money. And use flattery, an important tool.

>As Trump tells it, the idea for his first trip to Moscow came after he found himself seated next to the Soviet ambassador Yuri Dubinin. This was in autumn 1986; the event was a luncheon held by Leonard Lauder, the businessman son of Estée Lauder. Dubinin’s daughter Natalia “had read about Trump Tower and knew all about it,” Trump said in his 1987 bestseller, The Art of the Deal.
>Trump continued: “One thing led to another, and now I’m talking about building a large luxury hotel, across the street from the Kremlin, in partnership with the Soviet government.”

You see the difference there? Trump can be innocent and the Russians can be guilty at the same time! Which is also what actually happened in real life!

Now you, as a real American from Indiana Oblast, have no problems with admitting that the Russians did tamper in 2016, right? Since Trump didn't collude with them, and thus we Americans can set aside political differences and all hate on Russia together!
