Seems the New York Times is pushing the boundaries and perhaps these cases do have possibilities. There’s a big difference between stating one believes things could have or would have occurred, than stating they absolutely did occur. Especially when it’s evident that one knows that what they’re stating is a lie but you lie anyhow only to cause harm to someone.

Andrew McCarthy over at National Review Online is pretty skeptical of this law suit. He is generally pretty Trump friendly (wrote Ball of Collusion).
They need to learn their place and be reminded of laws. From lying to the Fisa court to continuous slander in the NY Times and other media sources, it’s past high time for them to be held accountable.
