THIS JUST IN — A STATEMENT FROM JIM STEWARTSON’S LEGAL TEAM
“The next steps involve determined participation in discovery and compelling Flynn to appear for deposition and surrender evidence…”
“This ruling sends a clear message that the right of the people to be openly critical of political figures will be protected by the courts and vindicates all voices bringing light to the darkness of our political reality.”
As many of you are aware, my podcast partner Jim Stewartson is defending himself from lawfare brought by disgraced retired lt. general Mike Flynn.
We have some great news for those of you helping Jim defend himself!
BREAKING NEWS—A STATEMENT FROM JIM’S LEGAL TEAM:
“We are encouraged by the court’s immediate dismissal of the bulk of Flynn’s complaint and look forward to prevailing on the remaining few items as the case proceeds. This ruling sends a clear message that the right of the people to be openly critical of political figures will be protected by the courts and vindicates all voices bringing light to the darkness of our political reality. The next steps involve determined participation in discovery and compelling Flynn to appear for deposition and surrender evidence that will ultimately prove the legitimacy and protected nature of Jim’s public remarks.”—Craig A. Whisenhunt, Esq.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting Jim as he puts up an excellent defense on behalf of press freedom and democratic values. We are so thankful for your continued support as your donations are making this possible. If you would like to contribute to Jim’s legal defense, you can do so here.
For new members, here is the backstory, which you can find at his GoFundMe:
In 2020, Jim Stewartson, an Emmy award-winning game developer, saw that technology he’d helped build for video gaming communities was being misused to attack Americans. From the perspective of Jim’s unique experience, the QAnon movement was leading millions of Americans into a labyrinth of lies in order to unduly influence them in ways that fractured families and threatened the very foundations of our democracy.
The more he investigated publicly available sources, the clearer it became to him that Flynn, who has been fired by two Presidents and attended a gala with Russian President Vladimir Putin, was involved in an ongoing disinformation effort against our country. Since that time, Jim Stewartson has spoken out about his opinions about Flynn’s efforts to radicalize Americans, his promotion of cult ideologies, and his role in the January 6th insurrection.
Flynn's lawsuit is an attempt to prevent an American citizen from speaking out about a powerful public figure. Please contribute whatever you can as we work to protect the rights we all have to speak freely and participate in the discourse of democracy.
The rights we hold sacred as Americans to speak out, research, ask questions and challenge public figures are threatened by this lawsuit.
This fight will be expensive. Any and all donations will make a tremendous difference. Please share this appeal with pro-democracy networks. This is everyone’s fight.
With gratitude,
Heidi, HiFi, and Jackie, and the many friends of Jim
