Rudy Giuliani’s “star witness” in the Michigan election fraud hearing already got her 15 minutes of fame, but now she may end up paying for it.

Melissa Carone made wild accusations concerning Dominion Voting Systems in front of Michigan lawmakers in early December, including saying that “every single thing” that happened at the voting center where she worked for one day “was fraud” intended to toss the election to Joe Biden.

Her testimony went viral both for the absurdity of some of her suggestions, but how bold and belligerent she was throughout, even going so far as to ask one lawmaker if “you guys” “did something crazy” to the poll books to make the numbers add up.
Carone even continued speaking to the press after she was all but laughed out of court, never dropping her accusations that all sorts of fraud had occurred, despite being able to provide no evidence that it did, and the things she said not adding up.
Because of her visibility, Dominion has now included her in a series of cease and desist letters it has sent to people continuing to spread the baseless claims that it was part of a pro-Biden conspiracy, including lawyers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, as well as anchors at conservative news stations such as OANN and Newsmax.
The letter to Carone holds no punches, calling Carone’s accusations “outlandish” and positing that she insisted upon them “even though you knew all along that your attacks on Dominion have no basis in reality.”
“We write to you now because you have positioned yourself as a prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign by pretending to have some sort of ‘insider’s knowledge’ regarding Dominion’s business activities, when in reality you were hired through a staffing agency for one day to clean glass on machines and complete other menial tasks,” the letter reads.

From there, it goes on to explain that they intend to sue her and she is expected not to destroy any evidence or communication relating to Dominion and the accusations of fraud.
The Twitterverse is having almost as much of a field day with this letter as it did with Carone’s initial testimony — essentially giddy at the idea that people who have again and again and again pushed baseless accusations that threaten the stability of our democracy might actually face some consequences, or at least shame, for what they’ve done.

Quite frankly, we eagerly await Carone’s response.
