I don’t know if TFG will be indicted and arrested today or not, and I doubt that TFG does, either. It feels in some way like the news cycle is on hold, waiting and anticipating something that TFG probably completely made up and the media is playing along. If he’s arrested, do I think there will be violence? Scattered and isolated, yes, but not organized. I also think that if the Manhattan DA can get one indictment through without the country going to hell, more will follow (specifically, at least one from Georgia).
In the meantime, the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News is still ongoing, and as part of it, Fox News is suing one of its producers to prevent her from disclosing information that could potentially harm Fox News’ chances even more. Fox News has filed for a restraining order against Abby Grossberg, who was a senior producer for Tucker Carlson in charge of booking guests. She probably knows a lot about what was on Carlson’s mind after the 2020 election, specifically that he knew that TFG’s election claims were bullsh*t but continued to peddle them anyway to prop up Fox News’ stock price.
Grossberg intends to sue Fox News after she said she was “coerced” and “intimidated” by the network’s legal team into giving false and misleading testimony in the Dominion lawsuit. She also claims that the network attempted to shift all responsibility for the defamation against Dominion onto Grossman and Maria Bartiromo instead of Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, et. al. She further adds that she was harassed by two producers on Tucker Carlson’s show based on her gender and religion (she’s Jewish).
At issue, specifically, is Grossman’s civil complaint against Fox News, which contains “pages of allegations purportedly summarizing and quoting communications that Defendant had with Fox News’ attorneys.” Fox is trying to stop Grossman from revealing this information in her lawsuit against Fox News because it would damage an already shaky defense in the Dominion lawsuit.
Basically, Fox News is trying to silence Grossman because her lawsuit would f**k them. The judge has not yet made a decision about the restraining order against her.
