What Kari Lake's 'default' in defamation suit means
Attorney Tom Ryan explains the "default" motion by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake in a defamation lawsuit filed by Republican Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, and how the court responded. Ryan has played a central role in high-profile cases involving elected officials.

It’s true...Trump’s getting away with it (at least for now) because he can get his followers to pay his legal bills, and the courts are being deferential to an ex-President.

She wouldn't last very long here in Ireland under the typical flamethrower approach of the average Irish journalist (we're ranked currently No. 2 in the world for press freedoms, which largely correlates with honesty and integrity, whereas America is a lowly No. 45, dragged down largely by its blatantly dishonest Far Right media). She's only 'smart' because she targets particularly thick people - an electorate that largely hasn't even (and never will) make it to either coast of America, let alone out here to the outside world, and are generally oblivious about anything much. Lastly, it's irrelevant I know, but still - I find her ubiquitous use of soft filters and perfect lighting to desperately try to look much, much younger on camera than she does when she's out in public - where she looks well over a decade older, in uncontrolled conditions - to be particularly irritating. It's yet another form of dishonesty from her, one of many.

Because trump loves the uneducated people. Just look at what kari lake did. All the dumbest court filings she believed would work in her favor. Then, having zero evidence to all the ranting, raving, and lies about corruption in elections is a disgrace to all that have voted and will vote.
I say this as an injury lawyer: I cannot think of a more well-respected and brilliant lawyer in Arizona than Tom Ryan. Everything he said here is spot-on.
This defamation suit relating to a public figure confirms she acted with actual malice. A higher bar than two standard, private individuals. Lake is therefore unworthy (besides unqualified) from holding an office to represent Arizona Constituents.
Intelligent people and people with common sense knew the entire time that she was lying.
succinct and clear, thanks Tom
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. The idea that Kari Lake thought the Arizona electorate was that ignorant is just incredulous.
another example of how trumps playbook is for people that want to end their career, go bankrupt, indicted, convicted and jailed.
Now she gets to play victim and say the judge has it in for her and is just being unfair about a one day late filing notice. Watch and see.

I don't know how broad a legal expertise Mr. Ryan has, but as for this civil defamation suit, Mr. Ryan should be helping national news outlets. That was a deep yet restrained analysis. It is a shame that there are folks so feeble that even with such an indisputable description of Ms. Lake's culpability, they will still choose to back Ms. Lake's destructive fiction.
