Ex-Secret Service officer who wrote Clinton tell-all plans to file defamation suit

[TexasTowelie]

A former Secret Service officer who published an explosive tell-all from his days guarding the Bill and Hillary Clinton White House is planning to file a defamation lawsuit against his detractors, The Post has learned.

A lawyer for Gary Byrne, whose book “Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate,” has sent notices to Media Matters for America and David Brock informing them that he intends to file suit.

“Officer Byrne will bring legal action against you, in your personal capacity, and against Media Matters,” a lawyer for the former Secret Service officer wrote to Brock, a loyal Clinton ally and the founder of the liberal advocacy group Media Matters.

The letter requests Brock and Media Matters to “hold” all records and communications associated with their communications regarding Byrne — including “Any communication(s) between David Brock and The Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton” regarding the former Secret Service officer, suggesting there might be collusion between the campaign and her defenders.

4. This is cutthroat politics! Everyone is sueing everyone!

The Clintons should in turn sue Byrne for writing his salacious opinion book.
Isn't there some law preventing the SS from devulging any info of the 1st family that they are privy to?

How did he legally get away with writing the book?

10. Gary Byrne was never on the presidential detail

He was never anything more than the lowest ranking Secret Service uniformed officer at the White House. So in other words he was given jobs like manning the guard shack and escorting tours through the first floor. Only the non-uniformed officers on the presidential detail would have had the access he claimed to have.

The idea that his book sold to anyone is simply a testament to how gullible wingnuts are.
