Ex-Secret Service officer behind Clinton tell-all planning defemation suit
2016-10-27
[NY Post] A former Secret Service officer who published an explosive tell-all from his days guarding the Bill and Hillary Clinton White House is planning to file a defamation lawsuit against his detractors, The Post has learned.

A lawyer for Gary Byrne, whose book "Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate," has sent notices to Media Matters for America and David Brock informing them that he intends to file suit.

"Officer Byrne will bring legal action against you, in your personal capacity, and against Media Matters," a lawyer for the former Secret Service officer wrote to Brock, a loyal Clinton ally and the founder of the liberal advocacy group Media Matters.

The letter requests Brock and Media Matters to "hold" all records and communications associated with their communications regarding Byrne -- including "Any communication(s) between David Brock and The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton" regarding the former Secret Service officer, suggesting there might be collusion between the campaign and her defenders.

#3  The honourable is a courtesy descriptor for anyone who has achieved eminence in American politics, JohnQC. The fact that it is usually appended with high sarcasm is immaterial.

Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton? You're joking, right?

#1  ....suggesting there might be collusion between the campaign and her defenders.

Difficult to imagine such a thing.
