Investigative reporter Susan Bradford has filed a small-claims court lawsuit in Virginia against The Huffington Post and The New York Times, alleging that the publishers plagiarized her work on the Jack Abramoff scandal in 2008.

The civil suit was filed September 1 in Fairfax County, Va., a close-in suburban county near Washington, D.C.

Bradford told The Daily Caller that she entered into a verbal agreement with Nico Pitney, Politics Editor of The Huffington Post, for payment of $12,000 in exchange for a series of seven articles about the scandal.

She alleges that she submitted the articles and that HuffPo rejected them, ultimately incorporating her work into a series of articles by Gary Chafetz. The same material, she says, was later included in a New York Times article by Jo Becker.

A handshake with liars is worth as much as an Obama campaign promise.

That was your first mistake, sweetie. Never trust liberals, and get what they promise in writing.
