Hillary looks too attractive in that one.

Not only that, but did you catch the irony of her stealing what looks to be the Oval Office sink? ;)

Actually, Klayman does pretty well in court.

You're kidding, right? He hasn't won a case in years. Appeals and getting somebody to give up discovery are NOT "victories."

What's this???

A vast left wing conspiracy????

Couldn't be....could it?!!!

U.S. District Judge Philip Pro dismissed Flowers' defamation claim against Mrs. Clinton, but allowed a conspiracy allegation to proceed. Former presidential aide George Stephanopoulos and campaign strategist James Carville also are being sued.

Could one of you legal eagle freepers explain to me the reasoning of this Judge?
How can a conspiracy (to defame) allegation proceed, when the defamation
claim itself gets dismissed?

Read the 9th Circuit's Flowers v. Carville and you will see that the district court judge had no choice but to let the case go forward. As for the claims against Hillary Clinton, Flowers ran into a statute of limitations problem.

Looks like she's just running off with the DNA receptacle...

[connectthedots]

To be more correct, the defamation claim against Hillary was dismissed due to the statute of limitations problems.

I see a settlement coming in November, the same month she files for divorce from Bill and begins her presidential campaign; letting the suit proceed through the courts would only interfere with Hillary's presidential campaign.
