Cohen and Showtime very likely violated the 2013 Stolen Valor act and possibly state laws depending on where it went down.
Could be prison time and a huge cash settlement if Palin is inclined.
Good point, SH. After being bushwhacked by Nicolle Wallace on the campaign trail, and all of her experiences since then, I’m surprised she and her staff/advisors didn’t do a better job of due diligence. Perhaps she’s playing six dimensional chess, i.e. to set up a lawsuit with Showtime.
