Keep pimping those carefully timed Judicial Watch tid-bits

And maybe Trump won’t destroy you if he wins:
Roger Ailes, the former CEO of Fox News who left the company amid accusations that he sexually harassed women, has indicated that he and his wife might sue New York magazine, the magazine confirmed Monday.
“New York Media and Gabriel Sherman were contacted by Charles Harder on behalf of Roger and Elizabeth Ailes, asking that we preserve documents related to the Ailes, for a possible defamation claim,” a spokesperson for the publication told POLITICO in a statement. “The letter sent by Harder was not informative as to the substance of their objections to the reporting.”
Harder, who is the same attorney who represented Hulk Hogan in the invasion of privacy lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker Media, is also representing Melania Trump in a defamation lawsuit against The Daily Mail and a Maryland blogger. Ailes has reportedly been advising Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has said he would strive to “open up” libel laws if he were elected president.
Ailes has plenty of money, by the way. He was already richer than God and Murdoch reportedly agreed to 60 million plus as a settlement. Murdoch’s sons might regret they didn’t fight that harder when the empire they’re inheriting from those two hideous men is subject to Trump’s new regime.
