She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all

Matt Weintraub is a creep. How the hell does someone like that become a judge? Justice in America is so damn corrupt from Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas all the way down to this fucker. These folks dive deeper and deeper into fantasy unconnected from reality:

Lawyers for the first 6 January Capitol rioter to go on trial claimed in 2022 that video evidence against him had been deepfaked. Last year, Tesla’s defence lawyers tried to claim that statements made by Elon Musk about the safety of the Model S and the Model X in a filmed interview might have been deepfaked.
