In reply to the discussion: Who listened to Mary Trump just now answer weissmann's [View all]SpankMe
(3,810 posts)49. Mary Trump shouldn't say things like that
She's opening herself up to civil, or even criminal, charges of making false statements unsupported by facts.
She can say stuff like "...in [her] opinion Donald would be capable of something like that...". But she can't say "of course he did" unless she was a witness to it or has evidence of it.
We Donald detractors have got to toe a somewhat fine line so as not to give the other side ammunition to throw at us - especially legal ammo.
The last thing I want is for Mary Trump or other critics of the Orange Goblin to be silenced or penalized for over-exuberant opining.

Yes. And even if true, it's so easy for things to get distorted/misrepresented through paraphrasing.
