re: #55 Charles

I think it’s a terrible precedent to set, for politicians to start suing people who write mean or untrue things about them.

And she has almost no chance of winning such lawsuits, as a very public figure.

I’m not so sure she can’t win this. The accusation is that she is under federal investigation, therefore she resigned. That should be easy enough to prove or disprove. If she’s not under investigation, then Ms. Moore is in the wrong, and deserves what she gets. It is libel if that is the case. Granted, libel in the US is tough to prove (compared to Britian), but it has been done.
