Still nothing will happen because it was during a campaign. Now had Christine not put herself in the election and she said something slanderous than Christine would have a suit. This is going to nowhere. MAYBE the best that will come out of this is the next time Christine runs for office, her detractors might think twice about saying negative things about her.

naps they didn’t say negative things. They lied. In a legal complaint.

It doesn't matter. A lawyer cannot file a frivolous criminal complaint. In fact that makes it worse. A lawyer cannot threaten criminal prosecution or seek prosecution to gain advantage in some other context. Using a criminal complaint to try to swing an election is an even worse violation of the D.C. Bar rules.

Furthermore, this is not about defamation.
