President Trump this week said that Brennan and Comey are “crooked as hell” and it made me think about something.

Have you noticed that the corrupt deep state officials and Democrat politicians whom President Trump occasionally accuses of blatant and severe corruption don’t sue him for slander or libel? - John F. Di Leo
  • ...when somebody calls you “crooked as hell”, you do have the right to take your case to court… especially when it’s somebody with a big public office like the presidency, and a massive loudspeaker or just as massive social media account to give his words heft...
  • ...there is a well known standard policy in the law – at least in English-speaking nations (which have famously different legal systems than many others) – that the standard defense against an accusation of slander or libel is if you can prove that it’s true...
So what would happen if one of the people that President Trump calls “corrupt” were to sue him for libel? That would put it in the hands of the courts. 
  • President Trump would have the opportunity for discovery...
  • And would President Trump have similar evidence?
  • Well… yes...
