One of the key disappointing witnesses in the House GOP’s effort to find something, anything, they could try to hand an impeachment on, Tony Bobulinski, filed a defamation lawsuit against Jessica Tarlov, the liberal commentator on The Five, a program on the Fox Republican propaganda network.

According to the Daily Beast, Bobulinski objected to Tarlov stating that his legal fees were being paid by Donald Trump’s Super PAC.  Tarlov subsequently read a statement clarifying that while the firm has received funds from a Trump Super PAC, there was no direct connection to Bobulinski’s representation.

In a completely rational letter, Bobulinski’s lawyer Stefan Passantino wrote to the network: “To be clear, we demand a complete retraction and apology by Ms. Tarlov AT THE TOP OF TODAY’S SHOW while showing this photograph in which Ms. Tarlov clearly states that she explicitly ‘apologizes to Tony Bobulinski and Stefan Passantino for making a false claim on the air which harmed their reputations.’ Ms. Tarlov must further state, ‘To be clear, it appears that Mr. Bobulinski has always paid all of his legal bills and there is no evidence that Mr. Passantino or his law firm accepted money from anyone other than Mr. Bobulinski for his representation.’ These statements must be made without the petulant innuendo or further attempted mental gymnastics as we saw from her yesterday.  Absent such statements, both he and Mr. Passantino will continue to be harmed.”

Tarlov made no such statement, with the network’s attorneys responding that the aired correction was sufficient, so Bottleobrewski decided he would sue the commentator individually, not the network that has supported his candidate.
