It's a payoff. They'll go to mediation, sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement, and C^BS will cut a check.

"It's a payoff."

Exactly.  This doesn't pass the smell test.  This enables Burkette to play the duped victim and allows SEE-BS to pay him off (and keep him from talking further) under the guise of a lawsuit "settlement."

1. Right. It's a payoff.

2. And it's a way to cease responding to further questions, due to "pending litigation".

Neat.

OMG, this just gets better and better. Maybe old Burkett isn't as dumb as everyone thought.

He's gonna get a big payoff from Rather/CBS.

Or some Hungarian.

I agree. With non-disclosure, nobody has to talk. So much for exposing the DNC and holding them accountable before the election... they're gonna skate on this. Geesh.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but this is not the victory we had in mind. Eventually the truth may surface, but not until somebody levies a charge of conspiracy to defraud an election, not just libel -- IMHO.
