apparently once again, the "expert witness" that kari lake brought in to testify pretty much destroyed her own case the other day.
Kari Lake’s ‘Star Witness’ Backfires Spectacularly In Courtroom
Failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate
Kari Lake didn’t have a great day in court on Wednesday in her last-ditch attempt to overturn the results of the 2022 election.
“Two hours in and this trial is already over,”
wrote Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts. “Or it should be.”
Lake’s “star witness,” Roberts wrote, instead “proceeded to annihilate Lake’s case” on the witness stand.
Lake, a former TV host who has turned into a conspiracy theorist and acolyte of
Donald Trump, lost to
Katie Hobbs by more than 17,000 votes in November’s election.
Rather than concede, she has made a series of wild and unproven claims, and sued. While most of her legal claims have been dismissed, the Arizona Supreme Court is hearing her
claims over the signature verification process in Maricopa County, where the bulk of the state’s voters live.
Lake claims the county failed to perform higher-level verification on ballots that were flagged for potential inconsistencies.
But Roberts said Lake’s witness, Jacqueline Onigkeit, spent an hour explaining how thorough that process is, with a week of training, multiple levels of review, and reminders to be cautious and pay attention.
Another Lake witness also bolstered the county’s case, she added.
“As blockbusters go, Kari Lake is halfway there,” Roberts wrote. “If you count the ‘bust’ part.”

Kari Lake election challenge fizzles at second day of trial
Attorneys for election denier Kari Lake provided no new evidence that mail-in ballot signature verification didn’t occur.
MESA, Ariz. (CN) — Kari Lake, a former television-news anchor and failed Republican gubernatorial candidate in the 2022 Arizona elections, has been fighting in court to prove that the governor's race was stolen from her.
The witnesses she called to testify on her behalf, though, did little to strengthen that case at trial.
Rather than showing that Arizona did not verify signatures on 2022 mail-in ballots — the sole remaining claim in Lake's stolen-election case — multiple witnesses this week seemed to prove just the opposite. Lake's team has already rested its case, meaning they've presumably presented all available evidence of an allegedly stolen election.
As far as evidence goes, it wasn't much.

and just to let you guys know how things are going, she also brought 2 other witnesses....who were part of the We the People AZ Alliance, funded by you guessed it, none other than our beloved crackhead pillow salesman mike lindell. but hey, they didnt call forth their "expert witness" who destroyed their entire first days argument during the last trial, Clay Parikh, a spokesman for mike lindell events, who made an oopsies during cross examination and wasnt able to dance his way around answering a question, ultimately buring their entire day 1 argument!
ive been mocking kari lake for months over which one of the crackhead pillow salesmans buddies and the cyber ninjas she's gonna pull out of the GOP clown car this time around. i didnt really think she would try to pull that again, let alone bring two of the crackhead pillow salesmans finest to court.
i guess the evidence must be completely lacking and all they can resort to is wishful thinking and potential fraud, even though that is a completely moot argument, and in order for her lawsuit to succeed, she must first prove that signature verification did not occur in Maricopa County during the 2022 election, she must prove that that Maricopa County did not properly match the signatures on mail-in ballots, she must prove willfull and malicious intent, and most of all she must have prove that this wrongful activity did in fact cost her the election. not just suggest that it "might have" or "could have" happened, but actually prove that it did
basically she is fair dinkum fucked. doesn't it suck when you make a legal accusation and actually have to go to court and prove it?
