Tulsi Gabbard Sues Hillary Clinton for Defaming Her as a "Russian Asset"

I have in my hands a list of twenty Soviets working for the State Department.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) on Wednesday filed a defamation lawsuit against twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for "carelessly and recklessly" accusing her of being a Russian asset.

"Tulsi Gabbard is running for President of the United States, a position Clinton has long coveted, but has not been able to attain," Gabbard's attorney Brian Dunne said in a statement. "Although Rep. Gabbard's presidential campaign continues to gain momentum, she has seen her political and personal reputation smeared and her candidacy intentionally damaged by Clinton's malicious and demonstrably false remarks."

Gabbard's lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, says it seeks to hold "political elites" like Clinton accountable for "distorting the truth in the middle of a critical Presidential election." It also contends that Clinton made her accusations with "obvious malicious intent."

Tulsi Gabbard thought it was prudent to include this disclaimer in her lawsuit:

In case you're unsure, that's fake.

But it would actually be a good idea for any Hillary Clinton critic to offer that disclaimer. Epstein did not, and then, soon after, he did not kill himself.
