A jury has ordered a female blogger to pay an Army colonel she accused of rape a total of $8.4million in damages.

Susan Shannon, 52, who now lives in Everett, Washington, first alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Army Colonel David 'Wil' Riggins in 1986, while they were both cadets, on her blog in 2013.

She said she waited three decades to come forward about her experience because of the army's 'code of silence'.

Then Feinswine should be compelled to hand over the document under penalty of perjury and prison.

“As a public figure, Kavanaugh would have a very hard time winning a defamation case. “

The key is absence of malice. Malice is evident in the extreme from this woman. She is in great legal jeopardy if she testifies untruthfully. In addition that letter will be entered into evidence in a lawsuit and Fienstein can not stop that. Fienstein is also on very thin ice. I have noticed that Fienstein has been rather silent the last few days.

Agree. We have Grand Juries to clear the names of those slandered. Ford needs to be at least publicly shamed.

Lying bitches claiming victim status need to go to prison to remove that romantic little girl victim syndrome.

If it is proven false accusations, they should suffer the penalty that would have been given the falsely accused.

I think we need to see more headlines like this in the news.

I sometimes wish for that Sen to sail off into retirement then remember that her replacement will likely be worse.

"This is also the reason why Feinstein refuses to turn over the letter with the names unredacted."

How and why is it possible to withhold evidence?!

I’d go with a different angle. Have the godparents, who have a vested interest, sue on behalf of his girls, who are forever tainted by rumor and innuendo.

Well, thank you for your concern, "MisterMagic."

Failing to sue would be to fail to correct a serious problem for the rest of the people of the U.S.A. It would be far more appropriate and honorable to sue.

Not even close to being the same.

The Colonel who got the payout admitted he had sex with her.

Triple the amount and jail time for destroying a man’s life.

Unfortunately there is a lot of rape at Annapolis. Maybe it is prevalent at the other academies but I don’t have knowledge of that.

I would believe this woman - any day - over the California gal who went to a house party with four guys and who claimed to have slept with 57 boys in high school.

The sad things is, there are women now and in the future who will never ever come forward when they are raped because this liar is ruining it for them.

Ford may already be in jeopardy for slander or libel.

How about throwing her lying ass in PRISON! When a woman makes a false allegation of rape she needs to be thrown behind bars, period!

The problem is she's not lying, or so her lawyer will argue. She truly and sincerely believed it was Kavanaugh. It was not until after the Senate vote was over that she recalled the truth underlying what she thought was a recovered repressed memory - that it was voluntary and with hundreds of guys, but none of them were Kavanaugh.

If it is proven false accusations, they should suffer the penalty that would have been given the falsely accused. Sounds like Detention Hall at her school.

I’;m confused. Women never lie. Women should be believed. How could a man possibly have won in court?
