I don’t understand headlines like ‘Palin may sue’. Not long after she stepped down from the governorship of Alaska, her lawyer warned that slander and libel would no longer be tolerated. Yet, here we are with Crown/Random House maligning and slandering her without restraint.
If any attorneys are reading this, could you please shed some light on the matter? Thanks.
There is a legal process that has to be followed before a case can proceed to court. Her lawyers are doing three things with this letter: 1) informing RH and McGinniss that they are about to get sued; 2) putting them on noticed that they are now required to preserve all relevant emails and correspondence, even those of their lawyers since McGinniss screwed up in discussing legal stuff with Griffin, and 3) throwing the ball into RH’s court for a potential settlement.
