There is a lot of misinformation circulating about this drama which has created a dichotomy in our ranks. I am here to offer what I know on this subject. But I am learning more as time goes on and if anyone has any additional info they would like to share, preferably with sources, that would be appreciated.
What started it all was the Rittenhouse/Tucker interview. According to this Breitbart article:
Rittenhouse said, “I was in jail for 87 days, and this goes — this follows in with Lin Wood, who — Lin Wood was raising money on my behalf, and he held me in jail for 87 days, disrespected my wishes, put me on media interviews-which I should never have done, which he said, oh, you’re going to go talk to The Washington Post, which was not a good idea. Along with John Pierce, they said I was safer in jail instead of at home with my family.”
He added that his time in jail was “87 days of not being with my family for defending myself and being taken advantage [of], being used for a cause by these — by John Pierce and Lin Wood, trying to solicit — not solicit, trying to raise money so they can take it for their own benefit, not trying to set me free.”
Rittenhouse further stated that he could have been out of jail by mid-September, but his lawyers wanted to keep him in jail until November 20.
Here is Lin Wood's telegram link of a receipt of his organization's contributions to the Rittenhouse case: https://t.me/linwoodspeakstruth/7395
Assuming the statement is true and has not been edited, Fight Back had raised the funds sometime in November.
In my opinion, it looks like Rittenhouse is in the wrong and Lin Wood could sue and win. But can you imagine the implications of WOOD v. RITTENHOUSE? Lin would lose lots of support from his conservative base, regardless if he's right or not.
I feel sympathetic for Lin Wood. I am curious how this ordeal will end up. What do you all think?
Evidently you cannot post bond in Wisconsin. Cash bail or nothing. Not sure how the kid thought he could have been out in September.
Right now it looks like his current team are trying to cash in and trashing Lin Wood seems to be potentially lucrative. Doesn’t mean Lin is spotless, just saying when reviewing the history as it happened Lin, Michelle Malkin, and a few others rallied to support Kyle before he had a legal team.
Kyle’s legal troubles don’t seem to be over. Read somewhere he has wrongful death civil suits being filed against him. His team should probably be more focused on that.
Edit Note: There are no private bail bondsman businesses in Wisconsin. A quick look shows you can put up 10% with the state, but you have to prove you can pay the full amount if the person jumps bail. Doubtful his mom could do that. Fight Back didn’t have $2 million until November.
Not sure of the conditions in Kyle’s bail bond. But there are no private bail bondsman businesses in Wisconsin. A quick look shows you can put up 10% with the state, but you have to prove you can pay the full amount if the person jumps bail. Doubtful his mom could do that.
Very possible Kyle’s misunderstanding is based on the 10% option which he didn’t really have. Fight Back would have needed to prove it had $2 million on hand even to post a 10% bond directly with the state. It didn’t until November.
Even if she had $200K, she would need to show she could access $2 million before she could have bailed Kyle out. Just in case he jumped bail.
No he isn't. I think it would be career suicide to do so.
This movie has a lot of plot twists!
Kyle's defense atty, in his interview with Fredo, said they did a lot of work to prepare Kyle to take the stand, including mock juries. it paid off, Kyle was able to keep the issue (self defense) front and center and not let the prosecution derail him. yes, he sounded scripted but not inauthentic.
it appeared the same with Tucker. Kyle's assertions were clearly scripted to be framed as a potential legal case against Wood and Pierce. it seems Kyle's "handler," if that is an appropriate term, has his own agenda, and Kyle, I mean c'mon the kid is 18 with his life on the line, is not in any position yet to fire his team.
This whole ride has been a wild one for me. Right after the election it was Team Wood all the way. He was dropping some major allegation bombs. Then he released that Dr. Mcreedy interview and it felt fake as hell from the start. Then he went outwardly Super-Q and from that point forward his stance to me felt grifty and disingenuous.
With everything going on today, I don't know what to think when it comes to who is in it for the right reasons and who is capitalizing on the grift and am just gonna sit back and observe for a bit.
Hell, just today I'm leaving Shazaam! is all in my head and never existed 🤯🤣
Overall, I give my trust with caution but so far my gut likes Lin. Could he be a drifter, inflating his own ego.... Of course. But I have to put my faith in something or else I will lose all hope. (Not to imply I've bet everything on Lin, hardly the case.)
I think Lin Wood should be investigated more. He made a lot of claims that never happened. According to Lin Wood, Justice Roberts, Mike Pence, Pope Francis, and Mitch McConnel and more would be rotting in prison at this very moment.
This is a good point. Also, any one of them could have sued Lin for making such claims, but they haven't.
Yet Lin has never been sued for defamation by any of them
