He debunked the data. He didn't debunk election fraud claims. If someone frauded Mike with bogus data the detective and Mike both win.

  "I have data that proves there was election fraud" "No you don't". He didn't debunk election fraud as a whole (not that he should need to at this point), but he definitely debunked Lindell's claims specifically.

    True. I don't have a dog in this fight but if Mike sues the person who gave him the bogus data and wins there is a scenario where the detective, Mike and citizens all win. If anyone wants to pull this stunt again they will likely be caught getting cute with election data.

      From the article: > The data had, the report indicated, been sent to a so-called “Red Team” for vetting, but, according to the panel’s report, “none of the Red Team cyber experts were able to open the files.” Nobody "got cute with election data". There was no data to begin with, it was all gibberish. Claiming that you have proof an election was stolen is Serious Business, and Lindell didn't do his due diligence before going to public with the so-called data.
