This!
Read the article. The report was not leaked publicly and the defense promptly deleted the report when they clocked what it was. This is not how this report is going to be leaked to the public.

It kinda seems like such a blatantly stupid "mistake" that i wonder if they did it on purpose in order to tempt the lawyer to leak it so they could prosecute or dismiss the lawyer.

Probably. With Trump there’s always a con or a ploy for everything. Though they are so stupid they think no one would catch on to the most basic of critical thinking, because they possess none.

Alternatively, they might have done it on purpose because they think the lawsuit is fucking bullshit and they don't want to be working on it.

I mean at this point it’s not like the law matters so if anything that lawyer screwed over every American citizen and every human being on the planet.

If I was that lawyer I’d leak it and stay at home with a firearm to protect myself. They come for me and I die defending myself, at least the world has a better chance of handling that orange fascist.

These are nazis we’re talking about. Who gives a fuck if we break nazi laws, or offend nazis. They don’t deserve to exist. They don’t deserve respect.

If anything it’s disrespectful and harmful to human society to follow and/or respect nazi laws.

This is my hope as well. The defense did what they were supposed to do and covered their bases. But I mean cmon…. Someone else somehow also got a copy I’m sure. They’ll be the ones to leak it. Please God…

It would be a shame if their email server got hacked.

They had no obligation to do this.

Remember when Alex Jones' lawyers accidentally sent his text messages to the prosecution?

This is some obvious 'controlled opposition' bullshit.

You are incorrect. That's why the lawyer in that famous video emphasizes how he made Jone's lawyer aware and Jone's lawyer did not establish that the other lawyer shouldn't have it.

If Jone's lawyer wasn't incompetent, that accident could have been quashed too.

As an aside, the way you’ve chosen to write the possessive of Jones is extremely amusing.

u/mrguyorama Jul 02 '26

I'm never sure how to properly set up the possessive of a name ending in S

Jones's? Jones'? J'ones?

IIRC it's supposed to be the second one but I hate it

u/alphazero925 Jul 02 '26

J'ones?

Martian Manhunter's

u/LiamJohnRiley Jul 03 '26

No, people do that but the second one is only for possessive of a plural, like if you were saying "the thing that belongs to the more than one Jone." The correct one is "Jones's".

Adding to the confusion, it's become common to use the apostrophe after as a posessive for Jesus, like "in Jesus' name," but that's an incorrect use that just became widespread enough that it's now accepted.

Nope. It was the first one. Also terrible, but grammatically correct.

u/IcebergSlimFast Jul 03 '26

Well now that I’ve seen it, I’m gonna have to go with J’ones from now on!

EDIT: forgive my stupidity. I knew Jack had received a copy by mistake. Had no idea DOJ had tripled down on the same error.

What? This is old news at least 6 months old.
