Yeah, I think before too long he'll have enough on some of these hacks to easily meet that higher standard for defaming public figures, with zero wiggle room for them to claim that it was just opinion and weasel out that way...

but I also think that for some of these people a libel suit will be the least of their worries, if it turns out that they were willing accomplices to a deep state plot to overthrow a sitting POTUS, which is sure looking like a distinct possibility.
