So sure he can sue them, they would move to dismiss that a) it was true (always a defense to libel), but also b) even if it weren't all true, we didn't act with actual malice. That would interesting to see. |

Quoting: Billy Ringo Even members of the FBI, DOJ, Democrat operatives who made up the Steele Dossier? I understand that as a public figure there is a certain amount of BS to be dealt with---but--they were out to put him in jail and rip out his heart. Could we see massive legal suits vs. his adversaries? |

I hope he does sue, if nothing else it would shine a spotlight on a media that has gotten away with saying anything they want without accountability. I am Billy Ringo and I approve of this message. Paid for by belligerent derelicts for Ringo. |
