No, sorry, I've just seen it batted around a few other places in the last few days and the idea irked me because I think he is fully capable of owning his shit, so I probably came across as more annoyed by it than intended. I definitely didn't interpret you as defending him!

BANKSTON: Did you know 12 days ago your attorney’s messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you’ve sent for the past 2 years? And when informed did not take any steps to identify it as privilege?— Sebastian Murdock (@SebastianMurdoc) August 3, 2022

Sandy Hook parents' lawyer is now asking Jones about the times he has emailed about Sandy Hook over the last several years, despite testifying under oath he couldn't find any emails about Sandy Hook. There are apparently a lot of them. One is on a screen right now.— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) August 3, 2022

Boom: Sandy Hook lawyer reveals that Alex Jones's lawyers accidentally gave him a copy of Jones's entire phone, which he now plans to use as proof that Jones lied under oath about not having relevant text messages: "Do you know what perjury is?"— Will Sommer (@willsommer) August 3, 2022

This is a big deal because Jones previously testified under oath that he gave all his SH texts up to the plaintiffs. He didn't. This is from 2020.— Sebastian Murdock (@SebastianMurdoc) August 3, 2022

Holy shit. I wonder if maybe, say, the 1/6 committee might also be interested in all of his texts for the last two years. Just spitballin' here of course.

The best part of the livestream is that we get to hear all the questions, not just the ones the judge allows to be asked/answered.
Also, I get the sense that the plaintiffs lawyers are performing a bit for the livestream whenever they're on break.

And here's where the phone thing gets reeeeal interesting.
Also here is what happened with Alex Jones’s cell phone, according to Mark Bankston: the phone’s contents were put in a Dropbox folder the two parties had been to using to exchange materials roughly ten days ago— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 3, 2022
Specifically
Bankston used some of the material on the phone in his cross examination. Could only begin going through it last night. Will be looking through it for information that is newsworthy or relevant to law enforcement, and offering that to media/LE as they determine appropriate— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 3, 2022
