In Texas, Mr. Mignogna’s suit was dismissed in court, and again on appeal. The Threadnought lawyers began looking for other cases to pick apart.
They quickly turned their attention to lawsuits filed by supporters of former President Donald J. Trump challenging the 2020 presidential election results, criticizing them as frivolous and dissecting the legal arguments behind them. All of the suits ultimately failed, but not before Mr. Cohen and others gave them a working over on Twitter. Mr. Cohen called these exegeses Litigation Disaster Tours.
Where the Threadnought was about fighting with trolls, the Litigation Disaster Tours were about explaining complex legal cases to lay Twitter users.
