Sarah Palin's Lawyers want NYTimes emails
[NBC-2] NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Attorneys for Sarah Palin want to get the private communications of more than 20 journalists at the New York Times as part of the former Republican vice presidential nominee's defamation lawsuit against the newspaper.

Documents filed Wednesday in a New York federal court detailed the efforts by Palin's legal team to obtain the internal communications of the Times staffers.

Palin sued the New York Times last month over an editorial that inaccurately accused her of "political incitement" prior to the 2011 shooting that killed six people and left former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords severely wounded. She is seeking at least $75,000 in damages.

Palin's lawyers are seeking all emails and text messages concerning her dating back to January 8, 2011, the day of the shooting. The subpoenas target 23 journalists at the Times
[this is obvious overreach and a court will almost certainly cut this request but if it leaves anything substantial, it will be embarrassing and probably costly to the NYtimes]
, a list that includes editorial page editor James Bennet and columnists such as Charles Blow and Ross Douthat.
