Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      The District Judge wrote that Rod Wheeler “cannot now seek to avoid the consequences of his own complicity and coordinated assistance in perpetuating a politically motivated story [about Seth Rich’s murder] not having any basis in fact.”pic.twitter.com/GNOQrV4zBs

      Seth Rich’s parents’ separate suit claiming intentional infliction of emotional distress was also disallowed; the judge wrote that the Fox News reporter’s false reporting about Rich’s murder does “not rise to the level of extreme and outrageous conduct.” https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4630623-Order-on-Motion-to-Dismiss.html …pic.twitter.com/NxPKh5h4ML

      This may sound like a value judgment, but a long line of New York cases have effectively found that false and defamatory statements can’t serve as the “extreme and outrageous conduct” limb of an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim.pic.twitter.com/RiEpk2o1rv
