Sue him for slander and disbar him

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 53 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It is much harder to successfully sue for slander if you are a public figure. And not worth Biden's time, honestly.

I didn't know that! Great link!

But "reckless disregard for truth" seems to be perfectly suitable here

And it's not about money. It's about forcing consequences on attorneys who are willing to make insane arguments to help Trump.

But someone can make a board complaint if they can demonstrate false statements made by a member of the bar in connection with their representation. Chances are, nothing will happen... But it's something.

And it is just a blatant lie because he would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Federal government does not involve itself in state-level criminal trials.

Now the media growing balls? Seems like convicting someone 34 times all of a sudden makes spewing lies on TV (all "news" outlets) a bad thing

And yet, he did continue to spout the same nonsense and nobody stopped him.

I feel like calling George Stephanopoulos an "ABC Host" kinda minimizes the career he's had... He was a white House communications director, then the Senior Advisor to the President of the United States of America.... Then he became a news reporter and eventually a co-host of Good Morning America. Honestly he's a household name in the US.
