My question concerns the lack of quotes. Is this legally relevant to it being considered a direct quote?
For example, they will sometimes say that O'Reilly stated something and then put it in quotes. Other times they will not use quotes and put it in the indented paragraph format. I don't know.
It is possible, isn't it, that the conversation you're referring to could be something that was copied from a ... diary she kept as opposed to an audio tape? Which could be why it's being quoted as it is.
"Read page 17 of the Complaint. His telephone conversation about his fantasy of going down to the Caribbean with this woman is quoted word for word. If it were hearsay it would not be quoted as it is."
But if the DNC hired one of liberal TV's Daytime soap opera writers to create this scenario.... It's a set up. I could write a *A wild lustful night in the Caribbean*. Ugh liberal writers are so transparent....bwa hahahahaha
