Palin goes for the jugular in defamation lawsuit against the New York Times

A nightmare is unfolding for the New York Times that could well be devastating for the collapsing credibility and mindshare of the entire progressive media. In a court filing by defense counsel for the New York Times, the scope of the discovery being sought by Palin's legal team was revealed. If the court allows, the story that it could tell might well be all too revealing. Kaja Whitehouse of the New York Post spotted the public disclosure.

In a motion arguing that the case be dismissed, lawyers for the New York Times complained that Palin's legal team has served notice that she plans to subpoena "twenty-three non-party current and former Times reporters, editors and other employees - most of whom had nothing to do with the editorial at issue."

The subpoenas are part of Palin's effort to obtain "documents that might reveal, among other things, their 'negative feelings' toward her," The Times told the judge.

Palin's legal team also intends to ask the paper to produce "every internal communication it has had about her since 2011," they said.

As of an hour ago, the New York Times was clamming up, when qeried about the disclosure.

She has a high burden of proving malice.

That, JMHO, is precisely the reason for the number of NYSlime staff who've just been brought into this....

1) Most of 'em are so overcome with their imagined importance and sweeping intelligence, they can't keep from blabbing their every thought, word and menu pick and the wider the audience, the better they like it. I'd bet you could conclusively prove malice with only a couple of samples; Netting 23 of those slugs is overkill.

2) If a significant number of the emails/tweets/memos from any of these glittering jewels has "gone missing", guess what the judge is going to hear next. Obstruction?

No, I'm not a lawyer, I'm an engineer. But it sure looks to me as if somebody's built a world class trap for our lovely Sarah to stick on the NYSlime's arse.

Sarah, please, when you win, can I have the Crossword Puzzles - they’re the only things worthwhile in the Times?

Nice pic... She needs an AK47 or an AR15, though.

That would REALLY make the libtardniks heads explode. And that’s not a bad thing.

Those documents have already gone down the memory hole.

She probably already has them.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. She’s put up with their condescending mocking and dissing her for eight long years now. ‘Bout time. Would love to see her end up owning a little bit of Times Square.
