Alex Jones to sue CIA & FBI

Your tax dollars at work.

AJ wasn't allowed to defend himself in court.

Which was because he disobeyed court orders in connection with discovery. He has only himself to blame.

Sooo...I'm to just ignore the fact that FBI and CIA manipulated a domestic civil court case

How did they manipulate it? There was no "case" until a plaintiff filed a petition. What did the FBI and CIA do after it was filed? Did they somehow cause Jones to behave like a pigheaded ass and invite court sanctions by disobeying orders?

You seem to be assuming that none of the plaintiffs would have sued Jones but for "suggestions" from the FBI and CIA. I disagree. Even before Sandy Hook occurred, Jones had already been sued by a person whom Jones had falsely accused of being the gunman in a different school shooting, and the law firm representing the plaintiff in that case was contacted by the parents of two Sandy Hook victims about suing Jones. This firm filed the first two suits against Jones in connection with Sandy Hook.

Any judge and DA could do that to anybody regardless of whether or not they are guilty, regardless of whether they disobeyed any court orders.

And if Trump goes to jail because he went to his son's graduation, or to his Supreme Court oral argument hearings, it will be his own "fault" too, right?

You think that because a judge has no respect for Barron Dumpf's commencement, he will have no respect for the SCOTUS?

Wake me up when the judge actually does refuse to work around a scheduling conflict with a SCOTUS subpoena. Meanwhile, give it a rest.

You know, public schools tend to have those things on the weekend because many parents can't even take off work.

None of this has anything to do with the Jones cases, and the claim that a judge (never mind a DA, who would never be involved in a civil case like Jones's) will enter a default judgment against a defendant who appeared and didn't disobey court orders is asinine. Here's the Texas Rule of Civil Procedure that authorized the default judgment in that case:

Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 215.2 215.2 Failure to Comply with Order or with Discovery Request.

(a)Sanctions by court in district where deposition is taken. If a deponent fails to appear or to be sworn or to answer a question after being directed to do so by a district court in the district in which the deposition is being taken, the failure may be considered a contempt of that court.

(b)Sanctions by court in which action is pending. If a party or an officer, director, or managing agent of a party or a person designated under Rules 199.2(b)(1) or 200.1(b) to testify on behalf of a party fails to comply with proper discovery requests or to obey an order to provide or permit discovery, including an order made under Rules 204 or 215.1, the court in which the action is pending may, after notice and hearing, make such orders in regard to the failure as are just, and among others the following:

(1) an order disallowing any further discovery of any kind or of a particular kind by the disobedient party;
(2) an order charging all or any portion of the expenses of discovery or taxable court costs or both against the disobedient party or the attorney advising him;
(3) an order that the matters regarding which the order was made or any other designated facts shall be taken to be established for the purposes of the action in accordance with the claim of the party obtaining the order;
(4) an order refusing to allow the disobedient party to support or oppose designated claims or defenses, or prohibiting him from introducing designated matters in evidence;
(5) an order striking out pleadings or parts thereof, or staying further proceedings until the order is obeyed, or dismissing with or without prejudice the action or proceedings or any part thereof, or rendering a judgment by default against the disobedient party...

Look, rendering a default judgment for disobeying an order in connection with discovery is the nuclear option that judges don't resort to lightly. In the Texas case Jones had been ordered to pay $126,000 in legal fees and court costs almost two years before the default judgments were entered due to his earlier discovery failures.

Normally, no, they wouldn't. Same with Trump being able to go to his Supreme Court case, or to his son's graduation. Which is what makes this all so obvious.
