In reply to the discussion: Trump demands retraction from O'Donnell. [View all]matt819
(10,749 posts)After I saw this last night on DU, I looked to see if anyone picked it up. As of this morning, I hadn't seen it anywhere.
Well, given this latest legal threat, I guess we'll see the story on the front pages everywhere pretty soon.
Not a lawyer, but false and defamatory seems redundant. If it's false, it's defamatory. One problem. It probably ain't false, and I'm betting that LO'D qualified his assertion to protect himself.
Easy for buffoon-in-chief to prove O'Donnell wrong. In contrast, O'Donnell, and news outlets in general, are one source away from confirming the assertion. I'm guessing that reporters have been looking for this for years now. And now that they have O'Donnell's claim and a possible road map to confirmation, it may very well be on a matter of time. The sooner, the better, of course.
Next step: Investigate Justice Kennedy and his son. They may very well be in this up to their necks. (But maybe not. See what I did? Not defamatory. Asking for a friend.)
