When we’re talking FOX “spying” on former FOX’er Andrea Tantaros are we talking stalking hiding in the bushes snapping nude pics or “spying” as in tapping phone lines, hacking computers stuff – PB/TK
Fox News Reveals “Smoking Gun” That They’re Spying On Andrea Tantaros, Claims Ex-Host’s Lawyer Amidst Sanctions Move By Newser – By
At this point, it feels like not a week goes by without some legal action related to Fox News Channel and this week is no exception, but today it is the cable newser that fired the latest salvo – and that has Andrea Tantaros’ lawyer claiming Fox made his day.
“I could not be happier about the strength of my case because Fox News has now handed me the smoking gun, evidence that they were electronically surveilling Ms. Tantaros’ telephone conversations as late as April 21, 2017,” attorney Judd Burstein told Deadline this morning in response to a filing by FNC seeking to have the ex-Outnumbered co-host’s latest complaint of last month thrown out (read it here). “Worse still, they were listening in on my privileged conversations with Ms. Tantaros,” Burstein adds, pointing to the recent removal of a contentious tweet from a so-called “sockpuppet” account.
“The only way that anyone would have thought to remove this key Tweet from Mr. Block’s Twitter account would have been because they knew that I was using that account as an example of the campaign against Ms. Tantaros,” the lawyer claims in a very damning accusation. “And the only way for someone to know my plan would have been if my privileged phone conversations with Ms. Tantaros had been illegally intercepted.”
Ramping everything up even more, if possible, the paperwork in federal court from FNC is also demanding sanctions against Burstein for what they claim is “violation of his professional obligations.” Needless to say, the NYC-based attorney sees it very differently and aims to land some more punches of his own.
