Daily Beast: “With billions of dollars in lawsuits now in the balance, Dominion Voting Systems has quietly expanded its legal armada in recent days, as the election technology company goes after Trumpworld and conservative media giants. Clare Locke – the legal firm spearheading Dominion’s lawsuits against Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and pillow magnate Mike Lindell – recently brought in seven attorneys from the Texas-based firm of Susman Godfrey, which has experience litigating against the so-called ‘Kraken’ suits filed by one-time Trump attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell. ‘There are great synergies between the work that the Susman team had done on the 2020 election and the defamation cases we were pursuing for Dominion,’ Tom Clare, from the notoriously aggressive law firm Clare Locke, told The Daily Beast.”

“‘As those discussions unfolded we also discovered the two firms have a great cultural similarity in having a ready for trial approach to litigation,’ he added. ‘I think it’s going to be a very effective team.’ Dominion expanding its legal team is the latest effort to punish leading players in the months-long propaganda push to trash the company and baselessly assail the results of the 2020 U.S. presidential contest. On Friday, Fox News was hit with a $1.6 billion lawsuit. ‘Fox News Media is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court,’ a statement from the company said. Other conservative media outlets including Newsmax and One American News Network – also aired post election conspiracy theories and are among the top targets for Dominion’s next round of lawsuits, according to two people familiar with the matter.”
