Georgia 6th District
HER GOONS BLOCKED ME AND GRABBED ME
I intend to file assault charges against GOP candidate Karen Handel and the three goons she had assault me after I asked her a difficult question. My attorneys will be asking Handel to provide the names of her goons. I will not file a criminal complaint if she simply answers the questions that she ducked by having her thugs mishandle this reporter.

(58,785 posts)"assault" for what I saw on that video, though. He looked neither frightened nor harmed in any way, and she did look as if she was going to need some assistance in getting away from what was turning into harassment.
But if Palast likes filing fake lawsuits and misusing the judicial system to get attention, he will hopefully have gotten names of those in that hostile crowd so he can name them too.
But I think he should put this distracting dialog away and just concentrate on her involvement with vote suppression. Lol. She didn't look nearly so nice when she realized he was putting her on the block.

(51,129 posts)Ben Jacobs was assaulted by Gianforte. Greg Palast was hounding a candidate. Her bodyguards were doing their jobs.

(9,525 posts)he makes the story about him. It's too bad because he is good at investigative journalism.
I have often wondered if he does more harm than good to the cause of election integrity. Personally I prefer the approach of Verified Voting. They are highly credible.

Greg: It will help if you have evidence to back your claim, like video or eyewitnesses.
Otherwise, it will be your word against hers, and your complaint will be thrown out of court.
Kick for exposure!
