Alex Jones sent child pornography to Sandy Hook victims' lawyer, court documents allege


Court documents allege that InfoWars founder and conspiracy theorist  Alex Jones  was in possession of child pornography and sent it to the legal team defending the families of Sandy Hook victims.

Lawyers from Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder, the firm representing the families of Sandy Hook victims, filed  a statement on Monday  stating that they discovered child pornography in documents that Jones' defense sent as part of the discovery process of the lawsuit.

Upon discovering these items, the counsel immediately sent them to the FBI for further inspection — which confirmed that they were indeed pornographic images of children, the counsel said.

"This Court has an obligation to protect the attorneys, parties, and the judicial process," the counsel said in their statement.

The documents were originally sent following Jones' claim that the Sandy Hook shootings were a hoax, resulting in a lawsuit filed by the families of victims for defamation

On a broadcast of Alex Jones' program Friday, alongside his lawyer Norm Pattis, Jones accused Christopher Mattei, a lawyer at the firm representing the families, of planting child pornography. 

"You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your a--," he said on the show.

"One million dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike. One million dollars, b----. I’m going to get your ass, you understand me now?"

Lawyers representing Jones  repudiated the child porn allegations  in an opposing statement, calling it a "tireless campaign ... completely without merit."

A hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday.

Earlier this year,  Jones admitted  that the Sandy Hook shootings were real and that his conspiracy claims were caused by "psychosis."

Defying all possibilities, Alex Jones is actually getting scummier.

All they have to do is prove they didn't plant the child porn themselves.

Unless Alex Jones has the world's dumbest, or most corrupt (if someone in their law firm who hates Jones planted it before sending it to the opposition), lawyers there is no way it should have passed screening. Lawyers are supposed to protect their clients- even from themselves. 

This doesn't pass the smell test.

It really doesn't, no matter how much of a scumbag Alex Jones is.

I absolutely detest Alex Jones.  He is a boil on the butt of humanity that needs to be lanced Tout De Suite.  But I think this latest revelation needs to be investigated further.  It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be true, but the circumstances are just a smidge odd.  On the other hand, I thought Jared Fogle, the Subway guy, was innocent.  I was hugely wrong about that one.

The plaintiffs’  (Sandy Hook parents - JR) Electronically Stored Information (ESI) consultants began loading files
into a document review database in an effort to make them reviewable by counsel as quickly as
possible. During that process, the consultants identified an image that appeared to be child
pornography. They immediately contacted counsel, who immediately contacted the FBI. The FBI
directed counsel to give control of the entire document production to the FBI, which was done.
The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had
apparently been sent to Infowars email addresses. When the FBI indicated it had completed its
review, plaintiffs’ counsel advised Attorney Pattis of the matter and arranged a joint telephone
call with the United States Attorney’s Office.

It is worth noting that if the Jones Defendants had engaged in even minimal due
diligence and actually reviewed the materials before production, they would have found the
images themselves. Because the Jones Defendants did not do that, they transmitted images to the
plaintiffs that if they were knowingly possessed is a serious federal crime. The Jones Defendants
put plaintiffs’ counsel and ESI consultants in the appalling position of discovering the first
image. Plaintiffs’ ESI consultants then acted exactly as they were compelled to under federal law
once they discovered the contraband images; so did plaintiffs’ counsel. But this appears not to
have been good enough for Jones

As part of a discovery process related to Jones emails, Jones lawyers sent a lot of Jones emails to the Sandy Hook parents lawyers. In those emails there were some , a few, child porn images. This has been verified by the FBI, according to the Sandy Hook parents lawyers filing with the court. 

Since this came out Jones has ranted against the sandy Hook parents and their lawyers

You think when you call up, “Oh we’ll protect you. We found the child porn.”2 I
like women with big giant tits and big asses. I don’t like kids like you goddamn
rapists. Eff-heads. In fact, delete this: You fucks are going to get it. You fucking
child molesters. I’ll fucking get you in the end. You fucks. No, we’re done right
there. You know what, I should have deleted it on radio. Probably still went out. I
don’t care. You’re trying to set me up with child porn, I’ll get your ass. One million
dollars, you little gang members. One million dollars to put your head on a pike.
One million dollars, bitch.3 I’m going to get your ass, you understand me now?
You’re not going to ever defeat Texas, you sacks of shit, so you get ready for that.
At 2:37:20, Jones names Attorney Mattei, pounds on a picture of his face, and threatens him:
And then now magically they want metadata out of hundreds of thousands of emails they
got, and they know just where to go. What a nice group of Democrats. How surprising.
What nice people. Chris Mattei. Chris Mattei. Let’s zoom in on Chris Mattei. Oh, nice
little—[pounds picture of Attorney Mattei’s face with fist]—Chris Mattei. What a good
American. What a good boy. You think you’ll put on me, what—[under his breath] I’m
gonna kill . . . [growls]. Anyway, I’m done! Total war! You want it, you got it! I’m not
into kids like your Democratic party, you cocksuckers! So get ready!

Jones appears to be alleging that the Sandy Hook lawyers planted the child porn images. 

The far more likely possibility is that someone sent child porn to Infowars and Alex Jones and in rush or laziness they were not removed from Jones emails before the mass number was sent to the Sandy Hook plantiffs.

Which in either case in on Jones' lawyers, not Jones. They are the ones that should have gone through every last email before sending them off. His lawyers should know what was in each and every last one of the emails sent; and have it documented.

I guess it will come out in a court. 

Jones is feeling the effects of years and years of bad karma. It isnt really possible to feel bad for him.

What stations still broadcast this guy? Who on earth sponsors this nut?

Why isn't he locked up in a small padded room without any media?

His program has problems with Pepe the meme to the tune of $15,000 (Pepe has a owner, you see.)

Wait a tic! During Jones' child custody hearing his lawyer argued Jones' crazy was not real, but only "entertainment". Now he's arguing his crazy was

 ...caused by "psychosis."

WTF!?!

Unbelievable, Jones is one of Trump's favorites. If Obama had tweeted and sided with an obvious huckster con artist like Jones the right wing would have gone wild!!! Trump embraced this lunatic. Cannot wait until this right wing con man goes down.

I think it's pretty clear to anyone with at least three of their senses in tact to recognize that if Trump were black and doing everything he's doing now, with all his same background, the religious right would have proclaimed him the anti-Christ and would have been demanding his impeachment over a year ago. So anytime you do a "What if Obama did the same?" game with Trump, the answer is always the same, there's simply no way Obama could have gotten away with any of it. Many on the right already imagined Obama as some "imperial President" because just having a black President "Lording it over them", as they saw it, was too much for some of their tiny little prejudiced hearts to bear. To make excuses defending illicit affairs with porn stars, illegal payments to keep them quiet, at least 10 clear counts of obstruction laid out in the Mueller report, enacting policy to separate families at the border, telling us he and the authoritarian leader who puts dissenters to death have "fallen in love", praising the vile piece of shit Putin, disrespecting our allies, calling African ally countries "shit holes", weakening NATO, lying over 10,000 times since taking office, none of it would have been accepted if Trump were black. I believe many on the religious right would have been declaring him a secret Muslim as soon as he made a sad attempt to quote from "two Corinthians". And there's no way partisan politics would have protected him, both sides would have abandoned support for such a criminal.
