The evidence would have "stood up" in court...

No. If you're wealthy and powerful, trying to fight a literal conspiracy theorist means you will lose face for acknowledging them.

Responding to them gives infowars legitimacy, so the thinking goes.

This is a terrible argument. The libel bar for public officials, especially a president is very, very high. To point where it's not worth it to sue.

Secondly, Jones could very well say it's his opinion, and opinions are protected speech.

And given that Jones holds many, many opinions that no sane person shares, the court could rule that no defamation occurred because no reasonable person would believe the opinion of Alex Jones matters.

He's selling T-shirts that state Bill Clinton is a rapist, so it's not just his opinion. Also his site along gets close to 30 million visits a month (https://www.similarweb.com/website/infowars.com)), and on YouTube/Radio/Social Media that number balloons to much larger.

But yes, Jones would use the crazy card in the lawsuit if Bill were to sue, I highly doubt that would play well in court since the shear amount of viewership Alex Jones, and affiliates such as Paul Watson, etc., have

Also Info Wars has been experiencing many censorship attacks, from Google / Facebook, and recently AdRoll banning them (http://www.infowars.com/censorship-online-advertisers-shutting-down-conservative-media/)), so it is clear that they are being attacked and actively being silenced. If Bill was innocent, that would be the best and easiest way to shut down infowars.

I don't think Jones would use the crazy card if he got sued.

He would want a public trial so every one could watch him smite down the vamps in the middle of the court room!

Wrong. First Lady Melania Trump just sued (& won) a libel case against a blogger for calling her a prostitute.

https://www.google.com/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/melania-trump-settles-lawsuit-against-9774769.amp

He doesn't sue because he's a rapist.

She didn't "win" because the case never went to trial. They settled. The blogger tried to get the case dismissed on 1st amendment grounds and the judge said, the case could go forward. Then they reached a settlement of an undetermined amount and he retracted and apologized. However, Tarpley.net is still publishing. This suit certainly didn't "shut down" this website overnight.

Since we don't know what the amount of the settlement is, it could have been less than what his lawyer costs would have been to fight the suit. As noted above Jones would have more resources to fight a suit and would love the publicity of it.

The question for the blogger becomes is it worth it to me to spend $200,000 in legal fees to "win" my case? Is it worth it to risk losing?

Trump once sued the author of a book for $5 billion dollars because the author wrote he was not a billionaire. The book was published by Warner Books, so they had to resources to fight the case all the way down the line. It took three years. The case was dismissed and then Trump appealed, Trump finally lost the case, because he wouldn't comply with the discovery requests and kept trying to draw out the process. So this blogger understood he could fighting this for years.

"Jones holds many, many opinions that no sane person shares"........Like the CIA uses pedophilia to get dirt on politicians?

Like the Clinton Foundation gang raped Haiti?

Like that hospital in Oklahoma City that does a lot of organ replacements is not in "good standing" due to the lack of an audit trail regarding the donor organs they're getting?

Like that hospital has no affiliation with a University which kind of means its ethics are malleable?

What's that? Which hospital? Oh yeah, you'll have to watch the George Webb videos to find out.

:-D

They would have killed him a long time ago if he wasn't doing what they wanted.. Maybe they will after all this though once his usefulness dries up

You will need to understand that killing him would only have made non believer stand up and take note. The guy sounds like an absolute crack pot to most people, he has never really been a threat to them up until recently he has been gaining more listeners and helped Trump win the election in some way. Not all of his leaks are legit so he will get some stuff wrong but most have been proven to be true

Bill Cooper was the real deal and exposed AJ for what he is. Bill Cooper was murdered. AJ is promoted by the MSM. Google news has often linked to him. Nuff said.

Not going to entertain Anti-Alex Jones stuff. HE IS THE MAIN ONE EXPOSING ALL THESE GHOULS AND 'THEY' ARE ATTACKING HIS INFOWARS - I WILL NOT JOIN IN! COME ON THINK ABOUT IT WE HAVE ENOUGH ENEMIES WITHOUT ATTACKING OUR OWN!!

Yup, I'm with you. I've always thought he was crazy but after his predictions of satanic ritual elite pedos came true, I've realized just why he is crazy.... because he is correct! #realityisstrangerthanfiction
