Palin goes for the jugular in defamation lawsuit against the New York Times

A nightmare is unfolding for the New York Times that could well be devastating for the collapsing credibility and mindshare of the entire progressive media. In a court filing by defense counsel for the New York Times, the scope of the discovery being sought by Palin's legal team was revealed. If the court allows, the story that it could tell might well be all too revealing. Kaja Whitehouse of the New York Post spotted the public disclosure.

In a motion arguing that the case be dismissed, lawyers for the New York Times complained that Palin's legal team has served notice that she plans to subpoena "twenty-three non-party current and former Times reporters, editors and other employees - most of whom had nothing to do with the editorial at issue."

The subpoenas are part of Palin's effort to obtain "documents that might reveal, among other things, their 'negative feelings' toward her," The Times told the judge.

Palin's legal team also intends to ask the paper to produce "every internal communication it has had about her since 2011," they said.

As of an hour ago, the New York Times was clamming up, when qeried about the disclosure.

“Which raises the question of what it would take to get her to settle.”

Well...since it is NOT about money.....and the NYT is broke anyway....

I believe it is about convicting the NYT of defamation.

“Palin’s legal team also intends to ask the paper to produce “every internal communication it has had about her since 2011,” they said.”

Those documents have already gone down the memory hole.

Interesting.

Something happened between her Iowa speech in early September and her announcement she was choosing not to run for President on Mark Levin's show in October.

I wonder if these inquires have anything to do with that situation?

She should demand an emergency injunction against deleting any requested documentation.

I predict a big settlement to prevent this from going into discovery.

Unable to determine if the Times' 23 actually had nothing to do with the action until after reviewing the discovery documents. Sorry NY Times, but welcome to being sued.

The jugular is OK, but going for the carotid is better...quicker bleed-out.

Turns it Conservative. Could you imagine the dust-up that would cause?

I'd be happy to settle for "truthful"!
