Attorneys representing former Alaska governor Sarah Palin have written to Crown Publishing, a division of Random House, serving notice of possible litigation for defamation in connection with Joe McGinniss’s recent anti-Palin biography, and warning the company not to delete or destroy relevant documents.
The letter (see below) reads, in part:
Enclosed is an e-mail by your author Joe McGinniss. In this e-mail, Mr. McGinniss admits that your own lawyers instructed him that “nothing I can cite other than my own reporting rises above the level of tawdry gossip.”….Indeed, Mr. McGinniss admits that the allegations are false unless he can find someone or something to show they are true. We know from the final book that he was unable to do so.
It is malicious for your company to publish a book wherein it, and the author, admit that they were fully aware the statements in the book were false, intended to be false, and were intended to harm…
Accordingly, since both your company, and the author, clearly knew the statements were false, admitted they had no basis in fact or reality, but decided to publish in order to harm Governor Palin’s family, you and Mr. McGinniss have defamed the Palins. This letter shall serve as written notice under AS.09.30.070 (b) that a claim may be brought against you, your company and Mr. McGinniss for knowingly publishing false statements.

too funny
Oops!!! Sometimes being a brainless moron can be hazardous to your bottom line.
Go get ‘em, Sarah!
I like the closing sentence in the law firm’s letter to Crown/Random House: “Please don’t hesitate to call if you have questions or concerns or if you wish to settle this dispute.” Key words being “if you wish to settle”.
They MIGHT arrive at a mutually acceptable figure by which the Palins receive suitable compensation, while Random House salvages some portion of their rear ends; and the sleazeball McGinniss becomes unmistakably branded as toxic and nobody will ever again touch him with a mile-long pole!
Cool~!
Palin is going to own a publishing company!
who leaked the email?
My theory and yes its just a theory, is that there is a mole in Random House who actually has a conscious and decided to do the right thing and forward those emails to Breitbart knowing he would release them to the public.
Go Sarah!
Good for her.
Been suggesting a lawsuit from day one.
It’s the only language they understand.
I believe that Random House may huff and puff for awhile saying they back Joe and the book et al and then settle before it goes to court knowing full well that the “emails” are a damning evidence - I hope Palin uses that money for her campaign.
LOL!!!!
I’m thrilled she’s fighting this. Sometimes you just gotta fight evil. And that’s what McGinniss and Random House are... pure, abject evil.
This guy is toast. He’ll be lucky if he can get a job shoveling manure after this. Oh except MSNBC likes this kind of sleaze. So he might get a job shoveling manure over their.
....BINGO !
I agree
That is what I don’t understand. WHO sent a copy of the email??
You knew this was coming:)

There are hidden conservatives everywhere.
Glenn Beck said it today, we are the Anti-establishment now. We must begin to fight back.
