What the hell does this mean? His lawyers refused to work until he produced proof of his claims? His lawyers demanded the judge order the defendants provide proof of the claims Lloyd was making?
As with everything related to this guy, he speaks out of both sides of his mouth. He’s counting on the intended audience (his supporters and Patrons) not being aware of the full truth which was just released by the M7. So he lies and modifies the facts to his liking. So in Lloyd’s telling, the court “invited” him to present evidence if you listen to how he words it.
In reality the court was preparing to throw the case out and gave him a relatively short deadline in order to become compliant.
isn't it quite a gamble going public like this?? Isn't he worried people may assume he's also guilty of the other points, also?
He doesn’t think this way. He’s always operated on people’s ignorance of the facts and his own sordid history of either manipulating the facts or outright concealing them.
As with the livestream and other miscalculations such as the Gold interview, he’s not thinking past instant gratification when supportive comments come in. He doesn’t think about the ultimate effect this will all have.
This was yesterday’s news. Though the release of the court files and the M7 was red meat for people already clued into this, it went hardly noticed by his base of support. Thus as it stood yesterday he had a way out of this and to let it fade would have been the wise course.
But he’s pinned his flag to the mast and is headed full speed ahead into the armada. The case was never going to be looked at by a judge. Now it is, and he’s riled up yet another generation of his viewers to expect his full vindication on things they knew nothing about.
Not intentionally trying to sound Churchillian here, but he had a choice - dishonour or war.
He’s getting both. This will not end well for him.
