He never paid the filing fee then sued claiming he shouldn’t have to pay the filing fee. And lost. Because that’s what Lindell does - lose all the time, claim he was cheated, sues, then loses in court. Over and over and over again since 2021.

Mike Rogers boasts he saw Osama bin Laden’s body with his own eyes, despite being in Congress when he was killed. In a fundraising email, Rogers bizarrely claims he personally saw bin Laden’s body after SEAL Team Six killed him in Pakistan, in bold print. thedailybeast.com/republican-s...

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

Ballou on Epstein Files Lawsuit: The judge ordered them to produce these foreign-language documents, and the DOJ’s response was, “Look, Judge, we told Congress that we weren’t going to follow this part of the law, and Congress didn’t do anything.” That’s not how the law—or any law—works.
