MIKE LINDELL: Back In The News Now That Voting Machine Company Faces Bribery Indictment
The judgement against Lindell is bigger than just him... it's about the right to question our government itself
Since the 2020 election results were known, Mike Lindell has been tip-of-the-spear in looking for answers on the things that didn’t ever add up to him. And now, this indictment changes EVERYTHING.
Until now, the judge overseeing the case where the voting machine company Smartmatic brought suit against Mike Lindell (and his corporation!), claiming that he had defamed them with the questions he raised about the reliability of voting machines has been solidly on the side of the plaintiffs.
As Mike Lindell will explain in this video, this is bigger than just his own lawsuit. He has to raise money in an appeal, where it’s now obvious the case should have been thrown out of court.
Why should it have been thrown out? Because if speaking the truth is a defense against defamation allegations, and the company he’s calling corrupt has been indicted by the DOJ for bribery charges, there’s not really anything more to be said about the issue, is there?
A federal grand jury in Miami returned a superseding indictment today charging a multinational company that provides voting machine and election services for participating in a scheme to pay and launder more than $1 million in bribes to a Philippine government official in connection with contracts related to the 2016 Philippine national elections.
The superseding indictment charges SGO Corporation Limited—which, together with the entities within its corporate structure, is commonly known as “Smartmatic” or the “Smartmatic Group”—as well as three of its executives and the former Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Republic of the Philippines. The four individuals were initially indicted in August 2024.
According to the superseding indictment, between 2015 and 2018, Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez, 50, a Venezuelan citizen residing in Boca Raton, and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 64, of Davie, together with others, caused at least $1 million in bribes to be paid to Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 61, the former Chairman of COMELEC. The bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business from COMELEC, including the release of favorable value added tax (VAT) reimbursements and other contractual payments for the benefit of SGO Corporation Limited and its affiliates.
To finance the bribes, the co-conspirators allegedly created a slush fund by over-invoicing the cost per voting machine supplied for the 2016 Philippine elections. To conceal the corrupt payments, they used coded language, created fraudulent contracts and sham loan agreements, and routed transactions through bank accounts in Asia, Europe, and the U.S., including within the Southern District of Florida. — DOJ
As Mike himself made evident in his video, his case against Smartmatic actually INCLUDED some of the information the DOJ used to bring charges… and the judge still ruled he had defamed them.
Now, he’s got a fight on his hands to clear his name.
His fight’s not over yet.
We invite our readers to spread the word so he can find those willing and able to help him keep it going.
