The judge basically said that because Banks lied about much his Russian dealings it was reasonable for Cadwalladr to suspect that he'd lied about other stuff as well. She won the case by proving that Adams is a proven liar and she didn't damage his reputation given the state it was already in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 She said that he told lies about a covert relationship with the russians and implied that these were in relation to funding the brexit campaign. The judgement includes the judge saying that he lied about his relationship with the Russians. . "But there were aspects of Mr Banks’s evidence that came across as evasive and lacking in candour. For example, his attempt to claim that the “Russian gold sector consolidation play” seven-page presentation was prepared by Andrew Umbers, rather than a document provided to him by Siman Povarenkin, was not credible. Nor was his denial that the leaking of the text of emails to the press in early June 2018 had forced him to give a more detailed account of his relationship with the Russian Embassy credible. " What this case has established is that he had a covert relationship with Russians and lied about it but that there's no evidence that the lies were linked to campaign funding.

Reading between the lines of the judgement, i'd got the impression that the judge thought that the previous judge had made a c**t of defining the "single meaning" of what she'd said. Having seen that, i can see why- she clearly doesn't allege that brexit campaign money came from Russia. What an awful speaker though, amazed anyone sat through that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
