I wonder if FR has a legal bump list or if anyone maintains a list of attorneys for pinging? I'd like to see if there are legal opinions out there concerning this?

I don't know about a legal list. I am pinging someone who might know.

Torie, your opinion on johniegrad's question, and do you know if there is a legal list?

OK .. your posts got my attention

I'm still reading the beginning of it but why is part of this reminding me of Nancy's book, I love you Ronnie .. with BIG HUGE leftist lies in it?

I don't know of any legal bump list. A defamation suit involving public figures based on a docu-drama would seem DOA to me. There is no actual assertion of fact, and what one needs to show are assertions of fact one knows are false, or perhaps made with a reckless disregard for the truth, and published maliciously. That is the standard set forth in the Sullivan SCOTUS case.
