Btw, I've just filed a column for USA Today for Mondayexplaining how Dershowitz and Andrew allegations were picked up from unverified civil court docs,transferred to UK tabs, which go wild because of no libel rules on U.S. court papers, and then translated backhere as "reported fact." Problem with Mi=story is that tabs are too invested in present story line, andunlikely that the Times or WSJ will want to touch it--tho, depending on who is willing to on record, theymight. There is another politico reporter I know who might do it, again, if the on-the-record sources arepublic people. Or, I will use it for New York Magazine, but that won't be until Feb. Can you still talktomorrow? When works? Woody and Soon-Yi coming for dinner tonight. mOn Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 1:20 PM, jeffrey E. <jeevacation@gmail.com> wrote:____________________ the story teller , crafted much of it out of whole cloth. . part of her story, is that she wasat multiple orgies with clinton and speciifically, the minute details of a dinner had on the island withhim, " he sat on my left. came by black. heli. flown by ghislaine. clinton was NEVER EVERthere, never, it punches a hole in the dershowitz , andrew allegation. making it all apparent that it wasfantasy. and delusional. thoughts. who should break the story.please noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
