This is evergreen so not concerned about the timing. A lawsuit would definitely bring attention to it, but I’m just concerned about financial impact on DNC. It might be a lot of money in legal fees for the DNC for a relatively small press hit. I’d kick it up the chain and see what our overlords think. Rapid team has signed off, we just need to decide within this group IF we want to take this to lindsey / amy / luis I'll do the sign off which will probably slow it down a bit. For awareness.

Apparently Graham took this all the way to Marc, and he said no. So if we do this, we need to get Amy and Lindsey to agree that we’re ok with the possibility of getting sued. Just talked to Jackie – apparently because we’re talking about sexual harassment, the defamation risk is really high, but he hasn’t been litigious yet, so… When I told her that we pulled every example from solid news sources, that made her feel a little better. Basically, it’s up to the DNC if it’s worth the risk, but if we decide to go forward, she thinks we should make sure we’re really confident in our research back-up, and asked us to flag it for them first. What do you think? Hi Cate, The defamation risk here is too high. I know we are going for a parody, but given the content of the post (his private business practices, sexual harassment, etc) we would open ourselves up to a defamation suit if we posted. Happy to discuss if you have questions. Thanks, Jackie Jacquelyn Lopez | Perkins Coie LLP ASSOCIATE* 700 Thirteenth Street, N.W.
