https://www.meidastouch.com/news/kari-lake-surrenders-in-defamation-lawsuitKari Lake has filed a motion today conceding that she is liable in a defamation lawsuit filed by Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer. Richer sued Lake for her lies about his handling of her election for governor of Arizona in 2022.
Lake has asked that the case immediately proceed to the damages phase of the case to have the jury determine how much she has to pay. She likely took this action because she knew she was going to lose this case and didn't want an ugly and public trial on liability in the middle of her campaign for Senate.

I'll bet she will say that in court doc but not on the stump or TV. She will still deny that she did it there.

Who am I kidding? Lying is a feature, not a bug, for MAGATs.

You know there's gotta be some damaging/criminal evidence they want to hide.

She is a bad fungus that won't go away.

One in contempt for the chargers ensuring the jury she needs taught a lesson.
The other is contrition, where she holds hat in hand asking for mercy.
I know what I'd suggest.

Kari Lake says the reason she surrendered on the defamation lawsuit against her today was because she felt if she participated in the trial it would give the the people who brought the case credibility.

......looking like a complete idiot. "Yeah, it's nice when Liars own up to their lies. Thanks for nothing, Liar".

I hope Arizonans decide we still live in such a time. It's a character issue - and not her character which is already known.
