The political activist who filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert vowed to seek perjury charges against the MAGA mouthpiece for allegedly making a fact-challenged declaration in federal court, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
David B. Wheeler, the head of the political action committee (PAC) American Muckrakers, charged the two-term Republican allegedly fibbed in the sworn statement seeking to dismiss the case — and he’s eager to grill Boebert in an all-encompassing deposition.
“We intend to refer Boebert to the appropriate authorities when we prove she lied on the affidavit she attached to her motion to dismiss,” Wheeler exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "We’re going to hold her feet to the fire…We’re going to ask her on the record, under the penalty of perjury.”
“I’ve had lawyers say they would pay me to be in the room for Boebert’s deposition” he added. "This will be the mother of all depositions because she’s opened so many cans of worms. We’re going to talk about Jan. 6th, we’re going to talk about abortions and everything else.”
As RadarOnline.com reported, Boebert was forced to declare she has “never been a drug addict or stripper” in the sensational lawsuit in Colorado federal court where she is accused of slandering Wheeler on television news by refuting his allegations.
Ms Boebert insists she wasn’t a stripper, but that wasn’t the allegation. The allegation was that she danced nude. There’s a difference: a stripper begins the routine with their clothes on; a nude dancer doesn’t necessarily.
Sounds like nude dancing is more efficient, really.
To a philistine, maybe.
why? are they better dancers?
In my experience, it’s the Montreal way.
Even if they got her in a deposition, it’s not a free pass to compel her to answer anything that they want to ask. Questions have to be relevant to the case at hand. Demanding answers about Jan6 would seem out of bounds for a defamation case.
It would since it’s not related to the issue.
What they forget is they’ll have show their evidence. She doesn’t have to prove she wasn’t something. They have to prove their claim is true.
I dislike her but I don’t like BS accusations.
Fuck the Trump/Georgia trial, I want to see this deposition live-streamed.
Cue more hollering from Trumplandia about “lawfare”. Maybe if they didn’t break the law so often they wouldn’t be vulnerable to it!
The fucking nerve. That’s the only avenue left to fight dumb laws or entities not following the not-yet-dumb laws. It’s not like shame or political action has had any effect.
Not to mention that the 1% and the corporations they run have been using “lawfare” for-fucking-ever to out-spend and threaten their opponents.
Yeah my mate went on a rant about it always being republicans getting charged lately. I was like, well they’re the ones doing most of the crimes lately, soon maybe not do crimes? He got shitty ans changed the subject.
Accept it’s been the case for decades, this isn’t just lately. The republican party in the modern era has like 10 times the convictions than the democratic party.
I ain’t never seen a picture of this woman not looking like she about to suck a dick. Not from any news organization. Surely this must be on purpose?
I had to scroll up to get it. lol. Yes every photo does look like that
💀
I’m tending to believe this. Here’s Wheeler’s June filing:

And Boeberts’ 8/22 filing, which is the basis for the perjury accusation, is shown here:

CNN doesn’t seem to think it’s true and most of it was proven to be false.
Even if true, who cares? I wouldn’t vote for her because of her stances, I could careless if she’s had an abortion in the past or not.
Luckily, I can’t vote for or against her but we shouldn’t try to shame people over abortion. I fully support the right of a woman to have an abortion which means you don’t shame people over it.
I don’t think they’re trying to shame her as much as point out she’s a flaming hypocrite and simply practicing natural conservatism “there is an in group which the laws protect but do not bind, and there is an out group that laws bind but do not protect.”
Shame, even shame for hypocrisy, does nothing to the conservatives, however, because they’re fucking shameless. I think this is rather to show undecided voters exactly how shameless they are. It’s not necessarily meant to be like “she’s bad for having an abortion” but rather “she’s bad for wanting to ban abortion for others while she thinks it’s okay for her.”
Once again who cares? Let the voters decide.
I would rather politics be won or lost on stances and records instead of mud-slinging. I think her stances and record are shitty at best and that is why people shouldn’t vote for her. If she was a sugar baby, it isn’t illegal. If she was stripper, who cares? There is no shame in being a stripper. Nevada had a previous public official who was a stripper.
I think you’re still missing the point. I don’t care if she was a stripper or had an abortion. I care that she vilifies other people who do such things. That is part of her stances and record. I agree, I think it’s generally a pointless exercise and won’t change minds, but to act like those things aren’t connected is a little much.
She is just garbage. Even if she had an abortion, she has changed her stance. People can do that. I am pro-choice but I don’t change people for their changing their stance. We all change and grow. Well in her case devolve but most people grow.
That’s assuming she is acting in good faith, and that she really did change her mind. I really think it’s pretty fucking clear she is not acting in good faith in anything she does. She never changed her mind, she just doesn’t think the rules should apply to her. Big fuckin difference.
They will decide. Let them be informed!
The problem is people already know how vile she is and they still vote for her. We have become to partisan
Sure. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens again. No reason to let her cover up though.
Oh I’m not referring to the truth of the perjury accusation, or speaking in support of Wheeler or Muckrakers.
I was talking about the truthfulness of the article posted by OP. Based on other information available, I believe that Wheeler/Muckrakers has accused Boebert of perjury, as the article describes.
No, they are accusing her of defamation. Perjury is when you lie under oath, which she has not done yet.
By claiming defamation, they can get her under oath and then hope she perjuries herself.
If you go back to Bill Clinton, nothing he did was a crime until he perjured himself.
They are accusing her of perjury in her filing for the defamation case.
So, they are now accusing her of both defamation and perjury.
This shit is going to be dismissed likely with prejudice, nobody’s getting deposed over this. Judge recused for some reason so it’s getting a new Judge. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67489406/american-muckrakers-pac-inc-v-boebert/

Deposed in the legal sense. Not removed from office.
- remove from office suddenly and forcefully.
- testify to or give (evidence) on oath, typically in a written statement.

Congresscritters are not exempt from contempt of court. She will not be deposed, however, because the case is bunk.
