We have had no meaningful response from the plaintiffs, other than a suggestion that their real aim is to put Infowars out of business.

Commentary on the shootings at Sandy Hook was a minuscule part of our programming in years past. To the degree we discuss it now, the discussion is generated by responding to the lawsuits filed against us.

Yesterday in Connecticut we filed court documents indicating our willingness to settle the claims, and restating our apology for any offense our commentary caused the families. Within hours of making this filing, lawyers for the families filed a rejection of the claim suggesting that the timing of the offer was driven by fear and shame. We also wrote privately to counsel for Sandy Hook plaintiffs in Texas.

Our desire to settle is genuine and longstanding, and the lawyers involved know it. Mr. Jones has already sat for three depositions in these cases; he's provided responses to written requests under oath; he has provided tens of thousands of documents. In response, the plaintiffs have claimed he has not done enough, and have obtained defaults; they now seek his arrest.

We are not going to be driven out of business by ambitious lawyers or those who hate dissent.

We would like to resolve these cases and stop wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees. If the plaintiffs' lawyers don't want that because they crave playing the role of hero to mainstream media, let's at least be honest about what is going on here. This case is becoming less about Sandy Hook than it is about the right to speak freely.
