ACORN Saboteur's Friend Wins One in Court


LOS ANGELES (CN) - A federal judge rejected a woman's claim that a Los Angeles County prosecutor defamed her as she tried to pin the blame for the wiretapping of a congresswoman on conservative activist James O'Keefe.

Nadia Naffe sued Deputy District Attorney John Patrick Frey and Los Angeles County in late December, in an amended complaint in Federal Court.

The amended complaint came after she sued those defendants and District Attorney Steve Cooley, in October.

In her complaint, Naffe claimed that O'Keefe drugged her in October 2011 to try to sexually assault her in a New Jersey barn.
O'Keefe was not named as a defendant.

In February and March 2012, Frey published dozens of "threatening, harassing, and defamatory statements" on Twitter describing Naffe as "a liar, illiterate, callous, self-absorbed, despicable, a smear artist and absurd," according to the amended complaint.

Naffe claimed Frey also defamed her on his blog "Patterico's Pontifications," because he knew she was preparing to hand over evidence that O'Keefe had wiretapped the office of Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles.

1. Is It Me? Or is That Title Completely Wrong. I know it's not your's TSS - it's from linked article.

I know you didn't write that title The Straight Story so I'm not dogging you for it at all.

But doesn't the article actually report that the judge rejected Naffe's claims. That seems like a loss to me.

2. I think the friend in this case is Patrick Frey

Naffe's claim that Frey advised O'Keefe "for purposes of helping him defend against criminal prosecution is facially implausible," Wu ruled.

"District Attorneys' offices are not in the business of assisting criminal defendants or potential criminal defendants with their potential defenses to charges."

Copies of Wu's tentative ruling and minute order were emailed to Courthouse News by Frey's attorney Kenneth White, with Brown White & Newhouse

3. That Makes Sense. Bet Frey is a Republican.

The article probably should have made that clear since Naffe was O'Keefe's accomplice in some of his hidden-camera shenanigans. Of course after lawsuits and her posting about him on her blog I can see why they aren't friends any longer.

4. Bingo!

Degenerate Republican values at work. As usual.
