Last week on this blog and in television interviews, I noted that in scandals like the one surrounding Roy Moore I often wait to see who sues for defamation first. What is clear in that someone is lying. It is either numerous women who were tracked down by the Washington Post or Roy Moore himself. Moore has called the women liars and “evil” while they have described a man with alleged pedophilic tendencies. As I mentioned on Friday, Moore’s responses are suspiciously labored and narrow for someone accused of deeply disturbing allegations. While I did not agree that Moore should simply withdrawal solely because someone made an accusation, the record is getting worse by the day. If he is innocent, I can understand a refusal to be chased from the race but there are new accounts that are making the situation untenable for Moore to remain in the race. Notably, Moore has been calling these women liars but he has not sued for defamation or announcing his intention to do so. That would put all parties under the bright light of discovery.
Update: Moore has announced that he will sue for defamation. However, he did not mention suing over the allegations of dating young girls but only “being with” a 15-year-old girl. He also mentioned only suing the Washington Post and not the various women who spoke on the record or his former colleague who spoke on the record. As noted below, the lawsuit against the Post would likely face the greatest challenge for Moore to prevail.

Juan Jose Vidrio Bibriesca, 43, was already in a bad position in the Eagle County District Court in Colorado for violating the bond on a drug charge. It became a lot worse when he removed his hat and a packet of cocaine fell on the floor of the courtroom in front of the judge.
This may prove the ultimate take out. A Chipotle employee in New York was serving a man when she realized he was the same guy who broke into her apartment on May 18th with accomplices in a burglary crime. She confronted the man who ran from the restaurant . . . after grabbing his order.
In the ongoing controversy over the anthem protests by NFL players, today is likely to be one of the most stressful. On Veteran’s Day weekend, 
Defense counsel often struggle with clients who fail to demand a lawyer in interrogation. Sean Sykes Jr. however appears to have shutdown his interrogation without uttering a sound . . . well at least a word. Police say that they were forced to terminate their interrogation by Sykes’ continual flatulence. He is no doubt now in production to star in the sequel series to “Breaking Bad” called “Breaking Wind.”
Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has long been controversial and I will readily admit to being one of his most vocal critics over his defiance of legal authority and extremist views. However, he is now perfectly radioactive after 
As in prior years, Professor Luna Turley (shown here with adoring students) appeared as a visiting scholar yesterday to teach the Torts class on animal liability at GW Law School. To the chagrin of the assigned professor, she was generally viewed as a significant improvement as she showed the basis for determining domestication or wild characteristics in animals.
Donna Brazile’s disclosure of an agreement between the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton Campaign has recreated a firestorm in confirming widely held views that the primary was rigged to guaranty Clinton the nomination. Even before the disclosure, many of us had reached that conclusion after debates schedules and other conditions during the primary seemed to uniformly favor Clinton. Brazile however is now insisting that she never said the primary was “rigged,” though she stands by her disclosure of the agreement as well as her statement that

Two universities this month were embroiled in alleged racist incidents that led to campus alerts and national controversy. It turns out however that the “victims” at both the Air Force Academy and Kent State were actually the aggressors in the creation of racist hoaxes. The incident at the Air Force Academy led to an angry speech by Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria, who ordered all 4000 cadets to stand at attention as he railed on the racist or racists in their ranks.
