I think he’s throwing these statements out in an attempt to gets these guys to sue him.
He would love to take their depositions and get all their phone records and bank statements.
If he’s not telling the truth, this is libel per se. they can sue him. They won’t.
” They can sue him. They won’t “.
You’ve completely nailed it.
You may have hit on what he is doing.
They will have a higher bar to successfully sue and it will give Wood access to them.
If they don’t sue him he can just keep hammering them.
They won’t because of discovery.
