This is a civil trial. He won’t go to jail, they’ll just start seizing his assets.
I’ll take that too. Looking forward to seizures. Concerned it’ll just never happen :/
Alex Jones still hasn’t paid shit.
I'm pretty sure that's still advancing. Last I heard the families who won against him were moving towards seizing his assets.
They gonna seize his shit too. Either pay up or lose it all
He’s played this weird shell game with his assets and claimed poverty through complex bankruptcy litigations. It’s far from what’s going on with Trump.
And while Jones may have delayed his fate, he’s still not gonna get away with that shit. Those cases are progressing, we just aren’t hearing a lot about it in the news. 
Yea he did one of the things you never do (unless you're Trump), fuck with judges. He started hiding his shit after the judge told him to pay up. They're out for blood.
oh, he was shuffling his assets around long before the judges told him to stop because he knew what was coming.
Seize building
Search building
Find more classified documents
I bet you could even strategically seize ones you suspected might have compromising things?
Seizing assets in a civil case is not the same as searching with a warrant and it must not be conflated. Evidence must only be obtained in a lawful manner with the appropriate warrants. Now if something pops up by chance while seizing his assets that's nice. But the instrument shouldn't be misused for that.
If the property changes ownership (aka seized by NY,) the new owners could authorize a search and it would be completely lawful.
As far as selection of which properties, targeting specific properties may be a bit sus, but i doubt there’s anything opposing it. They have to decide somehow.
I wish they'd start with his headets.
What?
Head-ets, like ass-ets. Took me a sec
There’s no assets in his head to speak of.
Sure there is. It would make a good conversation piece stuffed and mounted on the wall of Letitia James's den.
Or mounted on a pike at the gate of either the White House or the Capitol.
lmao
