Since this info is supposed to be confidential, can't the judge sue him? Surely this is slander and li/or libel?
In my limited understanding of the two terms, it would be both: when Dingy Harry said it, it was slander; because it is printed in the Congressional Record as a result of his speech, it could be libel.
Of course, any such suit could end up in the court of a liberal Clinton appointed judge, and that--as they say--is that. I'm not a lawyer, but just based on the surface meaning of the words, it would be BOTH slander and libel.
