Judge Roy Moore announced that he plans on suing WaPo over the hit pieces. Summarization: After they ran fake articles on him taking a one million dollar salary from his foundation, and after it was proven to be untrue, they then ran the articles of alleged sexual misconduct with minors.
If he does follow through, this will be the biggest tell that he's telling the truth. NOBODY wants to go to court ... NOBODY. Especially go up against a faux media giant with deep pockets. It means the reporter will have to testify in court though. And so will his women accusers. IF there is that tape of bribery out there, it can be introduced as evidence. I'm thinking there has to be some pretty strong evidence for him to go this route. Usually, you just talk your stance out in the press.
He's a judge and he should know what the hell proof of collusion, etc. there is. Hopefully, there'll be enough evidence and WaPo will suffer another black eye. And he should be able to collect some hefty damages which will be nice.

“Shortly after becoming the Republican nominee for the United States Senate, the Washington Post published an article attacking me, my wife, my Foundation for Moral Law in Montgomery, Alabama, on my salary,” Moore announced to a crowd of about 100 supporters at the Huntsville Christian Academy:
They said I took over a million dollars. There were not a million dollars. I wish I had a million dollars. In fact, I didn’t take the money they awarded me for a salary because I had my own recognition and opted to embrace that salary myself and not take anything from the foundation. So my salary collection wasn’t so much. Over eight years it would have been about $87,000 a year—so I had to take a note and a mortgage for the rest of it. But I never got the money. So, the Washington Post finally realized this after they published an article saying my wife and I got a million dollars, saying, “you didn’t pay taxes for what you didn’t get.”
The audience laughed before Moore continued.
“So I was wondering where they got that idea—they talked about control of the money, we didn’t have control of the money,” Moore said. “Anyway, to make a long story short, they kind of failed. So about 30 days before the general election, just the other day, the Washington Post published another attack on my character and reputation because they are desperate to stop my political campaign. These attacks said I was with a minor child and are false and untrue—and for which they will be sued.”
It's so funny, but that stupid salary item was what some crazy shill kept posting -- spamming my threads with that nonsense even after it's proven to be fake news!

My fellow conses aren't going to like me for this, but the man has basically admitted dating high school girls, one of the accusers is only fourteen. If that is true, that is abhorrent, whether he touched her inappropriately or not! What 30-something year old man of good moral character does this? Where is the outrage? I'm disgusted. If I have the facts wrong by all means correct me, but this is what I am reading.

The allegation of what happened when the girl was fourteen-year-old is completely troublesome. If he did that, he should resign, but as any cop would notice, there's no MO here. It's why I doubt it happened. I really don't care about him dating a seventeen-year-old and kissing her twice. There's no hint of grooming of pushing her into something she wasn't ready for. She even admits she was thrilled, her mother was thrilled and gave permission for them to date. If it bothers you, we think differently. There was no sex. No pushing her into sex so for me, it's not an issue. The Olympic doctor who abused the gymnastic team is an issue for me. As are the allegations of the women being raped by various directors in PedoWood. That's violence ... that's sexual intimidation and job intimidation. Not going to argue with you about this. If you think it's wrong, don't let your daughter date thirty-two-year-old man.
