Of course anyone can sue for anything. But to win you have to prove knew it was false and published it with malicious intent. They don’t have to prove anything. How would you prove they made it up? Infuriating as it may be it would stifle honest reporting otherwise. You could never print any allegations unless the source was willing to go public and testify in court.

I think you're right. I mean, if none of the affairs ever happened, then how on earth would you find 5 women who would accuse Cruz of infidelity? So if Cruz knows the story isn't true, he should assume the worst by the NE. I certainly would if I were in his shoes.

Don't know but I bet I know who you could ask. Sarah Palin, she was accused of having an affair by the N.E.

Did she sue or is she a adulterer? Just using Trump Republic logic here. Explain why she didn't sue? If she isn't a adulterer and didn't sue use that same explanation for Cruz or the women not sueing.

Carly’s campaign was given a lot of money from Cruz which some are saying is sex hush money involving one of Carly’s staff. Supposedly, the Feds are investigating this strange Cruz donation to an opponent.

Trump Republic Smear Merchant #10234. You know it's a lie, we know it's a lie and yet you continue to spam the lie on most all threads you post to. Why? Are you a liar by nature or are you a Troll looking to cause coax here?

But if they just make up testimony from phony witnesses, can't they be sued for slander?

State the specific allegation, sentence and page that it was printed on.

Fact is you can't because they didn't. It was an intentional Smear Job by Donald Trump's personal Friend who owns the N.E. Mr. David Pecker.

Cruz has never issued a very simple statement " I have never cheated on my wife nor will I ever". He has said the story was garbage and full of lies. Why not just issue that simple statement?

The only person keeping this story alive... Is Cruz.

You have no evidence at all Trump did anything with the Cuban Mistress Crisis. On the otherhand, we have evidence the entire “Trump is a PoopyHead” strategy was pre-planned to deflect and confuse the Cuban Mistress Crisis story.

Go back to your NAFTA creating Ivy League DC Insider Lawyer for more smear information. The more people know how slimy the Cruz camp is here with the blame game the worse it will be for the Establishment.

How would you prove they made it up?

Well, Carol Burnett obviously did, because didn't she win megabucks many years ago? So, it can be done. And as poster scruzawa mentioned earlier:

It wouldn’t cost him anything to mention a lawsuit against the NE.

The fact that he's not even mentioning one says so much. But of course, even without that little detail, it seems so obvious that he's lying.

Do you think Judge Judy would buy any of his "excuses"? I don't. I believe she'd call him guilty right away, in the same way that she said she knew that Clinton was lying about Lewinsky.

Cruz denied it, called it garbage.

Note: calling something "garbage" is not the same as calling something untrue.

Has Cruz made a simple and unequivocated statement "I have never been unfaithful to my wife"? I may have missed it.

Burnett won because it was shown that they went well beyond what their sources said in exaggerating the story. Their “source” flatly denied telling them what they alleged. I doubt the Inquirer made that mistake here.

**********************************************************

“In a Washington restaurant, a boisterous Carol Burnett had a loud argument with another diner, Henry Kissinger. Then she traipsed around the place offering everyone a bite of her dessert. But Carol really raised eyebrows when she accidentally knocked a glass of wine over one diner and started giggling instead of apologizing. The guy wasn’t amused and ‘accidentally’ spilled a glass of water over Carol’s dress.”

During the trial, it became apparent that the Enquirer had published the story on the basis of the account of a paid informant, Couri Hays. Hays had told the Enquirer that Burnett had taken her souffle around the restaurant in a boisterous manner, but that she was emphatically not drunk. He had not said anything about Kissinger. An Enquirer reporter had attempted to verify the story but had discovered nothing other than that Burnett had shared her souffle and had conversed with Kissinger. Despite this, it had published the story.

Smear? No. A question, yes. Time will tell.

But that’s my whole point. Either Cruz is guilty, or the NE did the exact same thing with him as they did with Burnett. The odds that 5 separate women would falsely accuse him are basically nil, especially since there’s absolutely no evidence that anyone put them up to it.

A third possibility is the sources are wrong or lying. They don't claim the women are the sources. In fact it's unlikely in some cases.
