You seem to know more about this than I do...and from your post it looks like politics101...but

that would suggest they lied in which case legal action would be pending and not just a suspension in talks...
based on the information you provided I would tend to agree it looks politically motivated on both sides...but not slanderous.

Eg
Hey Hey,

Slander might be a little far then... how about misrepresentation of the truth... They're taking a highly public person and stating facts regarding him... The same isn't true about most individuals... Not from just searching google.. (those of us with online portfolios and resumes are an exception).. But if you go search for someone's grandparents you aren't going to find that detailed information... They're making it look like an invasion of privacy when it's not... It's the same as that little side bar on the original article.. It may do this... It could do that...

Peace
HT
