      LOL, get the fuck out of here.

      This was a civil case, the DoJ wasn’t involved at all. Jones didn’t show up to court & when he did his lawyer handed the prosecution evidence that Jones was lying.

      I don’t think you could be any more ignorant of this case if you took a pill to do so.
