Judge Roy Moore Vindicated, Wins $8.2 Million Defamation Lawsuit

M Dowling  |  August 12, 2022


A federal jury awarded Republican Roy Moore $8.2 million in damages Friday after finding that a Democratic super PAC defamed him in an advertisement during the 2017 U.S. Senate race in Alabama.

Conservative Roy Moore had won the Senate primary. Democrats then set out to destroy his candidacy.

Jurors found the Senate Majority PAC made false and defamatory statements against Moore in the ad that attempted to capitalize on a sexual misconduct accusation made against Moore during the 2017 race, Yahoo News reports.

The problem began after a woman came forward to The Washington Post and said Moore sexually touched her in 1979 when she was 14 and he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. There was no evidence.

Moore denied the accusation.

Other women said Moore dated them, or asked them out on dates, when they were older teens.

Again, no evidence.

The lawsuit centered on one television commercial that recounted accusations against Moore in various news articles.

Moore’s attorneys argued the ad falsely claimed he solicited sex from young girls at a shopping mall, including another 14-year-old who was working as a Santa’s helper, and that resulted in him being banned from the mall.  .  .

The saddest part about that is the people that tried to defame him have so much money that spending 8+ million to defame a political enemy is just shrugged of as "just a part of doing business."

@Hoodat

Well,it is easy for them to justify dumping huge chucks of money to try to dominate America to the point where you OWN it and everything and  everyone in when you think it is just pocket change being spent to buy control of the world.

And it ain't like they have clever followers. Just how freaking stupid do you  have to be to believe that a cabal of Billionaires is REALLY going to divide everything equally amongst everyone once they have absolute power?

Probably won't make many more posts tonight. Pain pills ain't just kicking in,they are kicking field goals.

We had a few Briefers quit because the majority of the Forum thought he may not be guilty and that this was a political dirty trick.

They insisted we should not demand evidence that Moore was a creep and should not be elected dog catcher.  I lost a good friend in that fiasco, and now Moore's vindicated.  My friend will never come back.

Moore was not one of the Good ol' boys McConnell wanted in the Swamp. He is a man who would call 'em as he sees 'em, and would out the GOP just as fast as the Democrat Swamp critters in the event of impropriety.
That would make him a proverbial loose cannon on a weather deck.

McConnell (and the rest of the GOP) dropped him at the first sign of allegations and backed someone far less conservative.

Well,at least a few of them OWN the Federal Reserve/public treasury. Hard to go wrong investing when you know months ahead of time what the economy is going to do,and you get paid interest on the money you lend the government,and can then use that money to buy up real property during the coming financial collapse.

Title: Jury: Democratic PAC defamed Roy Moore, awards him $8.2M
Post by: Elderberry on August 14, 2022, 02:17:05 am
Dispatch Argus  By KIM CHANDLER Aug 12, 2022

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A federal jury awarded Republican Roy Moore $8.2 million in damages Friday after finding a Democratic-aligned super PAC defamed him in a TV ad recounting sexual misconduct accusations during his failed 2017 U.S. Senate bid in Alabama.

Jurors found the Senate Majority PAC made false and defamatory statements against Moore in one ad that attempted to highlight the accusations against Moore. The verdict, returned by a jury after a brief trial in Anniston, Alabama, was a victory for Moore, who has lost other defamation lawsuits, including one against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

“We’re very thankful to God for an opportunity to help restore my reputation which was severely damaged by the 2017 election,” Moore said in a telephone interview.

Ben Stafford, an attorney representing Senate Majority PAC, said in an emailed statement that they believe the ruling would be overturned on appeal.

Moore, a former Republican judge known for his hardline stances opposing same-sex marriage and supporting the public display of Ten Commandments, lost the 2017 Senate race after his campaign was rocked by misconduct allegations against him. Leigh Corfman told The Washington Post and said Moore sexually touched her in 1979 when she was 14 and he was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney. Moore denied the accusation. Other women said Moore dated them, or asked them out on dates, when they were older teens.

"the last thing I would do around a cop is display a cocky attitude.  Just sayin'."

In other words,you would expect to be beaten and maybe arrested for having a cocky attitude.

Please show me any location in America where that is a crime that is deserving of a beating and the arrest that will surely follow the beating in order to "justify" the beating.

When most of them are corrupt tyrants then yes all of them deserve to be called pigs because even the so called good cops are corrupt because they do nothing to stop the bad ones. The injustice system period is full of pigs from the POTUS and SCOTUS all the way down to the swine on patrol.

Even when people complain about others being unconstitutional there are even mods on this site that don't embrace the 1st amendment and regulate speech.

@libertybele

Not unless they EARN that respect.

@sneakypete

I'm the other way...  I'll give em their due until they step out of line. The badge is the point, not the cop. The structure of law and order is something I generally do respect, and it is something that is a necessity to an ordered society. And I have often, and will continue to lend myself to that task if they have need of my help.

In my mind, people who cuss cops are the very same as those who cuss military, having no true idea what life would be like without their defenses.

Are there a****** cops? Sure. There's a******* everywhere.
Are a certain kind of a******* attracted to the power that lies in law enforcement? YEP. Same kind as attracted to military power, IMHO.

But that does not mean they are all a******* in either case. In fact, BOTH are oath and honor based, and just like most military are devoutly patriotic as proven by their oath, I would say the same for LEOs in general.

So yeah. even as a frequent flyer in my yoot, even being on the wrong end of a billy club and an asp upon occasion... Even having had a cop's knee on my neck on more than one occasion...

Mostly I had it coming. And mostly I experienced a professionalism... And that is a broad swath of cops in points all over the west and points of the southern midwest to include Kansas City, and St Louis, and of course, Chicago.

Other than speed traps, and the occasional times I got drug through the knothole for no reason, And one time I needed them to return a favor that I got no satisfaction, As a whole, LEOs have my respect.

@sneakypete
When most of them are corrupt tyrants then yes all of them deserve to be called pigs because even the so called good cops are corrupt because they do nothing to stop the bad ones. The injustice system period is full of pigs from the POTUS and SCOTUS all the way down to the swine on patrol.

Yeah... You'll not last long around here like that. There's folks here with LEOs in their family line, just like there's folks here that are multi-generational military.

Nor with your claims of censorship. It is not a matter of free speech. This is a private board with a membership... With that membership comes a rule set. That rule set contains a set of mores regarding speech and comportment.

And as such rule sets are measured, those here are lightly applied - As lightly as anywhere.

If you don't like it, then don't let the door hit you in the ass.

I just was never a fan of banana splits.  Give me everything else and hold the banana.  Bananas are to be eaten alone. I'm not a fan of banana bread, or banana pies of any sort, nor banana pudding.

To me the 8.2 million seems low for all the crap he got put through. The Mall (banned) story originated with the husband of one of the most vile liberals on Youtube, and the cop collaboration was a fat black mall lady that had a history of also being a left wing nut on Facebook... Why oh why did the conservative media not do backgrounds on just how leftist the accusation makers were.

Who is this Conservative media you speak of?  The GOPe had already made up its mind that it preferred a Democrat hold that seat rather than Moore.

I have been threatened with punishment for calling cops and other law enforcement pigs.

FWIW, most conservatives really appreciate law enforcement except when they are getting a ticket. So encountering that type of response from your remarks should not be surprising.

I think that is well said, and the thing that keeps it from being very well said is not near enough emphasis. In this day, when LEOs are constantly under fire from the left, Places like TBR should be known as a refuge for law and order folks... And their families.
