Tiemessen writes in the letter that the email “clearly describes the fact that Mr. McGinniss researched and investigated many false and scurrilous allegations, and concluded that there was absolutely no evidence anywhere backing these allegations.” He continues, calling it “malicious” for Crown to publish the book when it has proof McGinniss and Crown “were fully aware the statements in the book were false, intended to be false, and were intended to harm.”
Tiemessen says, “The final work that was published contains most of the stories that Mr. McGinniss complains were nothing more than ‘tawdry gossip’ that amounted to the wishful fantasies of disturbed individuals... Since both your company, and the author, clearly knew the statements were false, admitted they had no basis in fact or reality, but decided to publish in order to harm Governor Palin’s family, you and Mr. McGinniss have defamed the Palin's.”
Tiemessen ends the letter by warning the publishing house not to “delete emails or destroy records” that may be used in the suit.
The email Tiemessen cites in his letter to Mavjee came to light last week when conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart posted an email between McGinniss and liberal Alaskan blogger, Jesse Griffin.
A source close to the Palins tells ABC News that the “Palins are fighting back and demanding answers from Random House.”
This book is trash. Don't just threaten, Go for it.
ReplyDeleteI also heard Stephen Bannon's interview with Breitbart. They were begging Palin to sue for the American people who are sick, tired and powerless against the liberal supergiants. Liberals have taken over the publishing companies. If they perceive us as a threat, they will attempt to destroy us even with lies. I hope she does this for all the "little people".
