At 1:01:36, he makes an accusation that someone "might have lied under oath". But he follows up shortly after explaining that he isn't accusing anyone of anything. In implying that someone lied under oath, Nick says he is not accusing anyone of anything. Just asking questions about a lawsuit. Nick loves everyone and he just wants to understand.
Nobody was under oath. Nick not only doesn't know what's going on, he just straight up makes shit up.
This is the clip (from 0:59:42) for context.
Licensed Minnesota attorney Nick Rekieta implied that
@Null or his attorney may have lied to the court in the Russ case by pointing out that trying to sue "Kiwi Farms, a website" is a nonsense since a website, in and of itself, is not a legal entity that is capable of being sued.
Nick's most coherent position of his claim:
"If they claim in a filing they aren't a legal entity, incorrectly asserting something doesn't necessarily make it true, but it makes you having made a false statement under oath in your filing. In one of them."
After smugly smiling to the camera Nick adds at the end "I'm not accusing" anyone of anything and "I don't actually know."
(We know that, Nick.)
Let's start with why Nick is saying stuff this stupid. Nick is doing his usual thing:
- Start talking about legal case with zero prep because prep is a waste of time
- Skim document while on air and focus on one little detail and interpret it hyper-literally
- Celebrate being smarter than everyone and smugly smile for the camera
The detail Nick narrowed in on appears to be this from the featured post: "Kiwi Farms is a West Virginia LLC." Anyone with a basic knowledge of the situation would understand that this was a colloquial statement which refers to
the actual legal entity, Lolcow LLC, I've highlighted the relevant text highlighted on the screen Nick is showing here.
However because Nick likes to pick up on gotchas without actually knowing what he is talking about, he thought this meant that
@Null's attorney lied to the court when pointing out that "Kiwi Farms, a website" is not a legal entity that can be sued.
As that actually only happened last week, I doubt Nick is aware of it, and he may have been thinking of earlier when the fucking judge pointed out that, hold on, this doesn't make any sense. Nick was clearly aware about something called Lolcow LLC existing at least one point since he mentions it 15 minutes earlier in the stream, at 44 minutes in, when he first brings up the Russ case after hamming up his smug fake confused face that he does before introducing something that he thinks is a big "GOTCHA!":
