I believe the plaintiff in that case was originally represented by Gloria Allred’s daughter. It was right from the same DNC playbook as the Moore story.
You are now starting to sound as if you "get" what makes many of us suspicious of this sort of crap. This is apparently the MOS of Lisa Bloom, and it appears that her mother was successful at doing the same sort of crap to Roy Moore.
Our side should not have embraced this tactic, and should have instead taken a "wait and see" attitude. The most that should have been said is that "we defer these questions to the people of Alabama to decide."
