Americans.’ – AP (DIERSEN: GAO works for Congress. I would not be surprised at
all to learn that Bobby Rush directed my GAO superiors a) to force me to retire
in 1997 when I was 49 years old, b) to give my job and my preferred corner
office to one of my subordinates who was one of his constituents, c) to give me
unfair performance expectations and appraisals, d) to always rank me in the
bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, e) to not assign
me to audits of IRS, and f) to not promote me beyond GS-13.)

https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/bergen/2019/07/01/dennis-mcnerney-settlement-wake-up-call-online-trolls-lawyers-say/1582294001/
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Sunday’s public apology by ex-Bergen County Executive Dennis McNerney, who
admitted using dozens of pseudonyms to write false comments online about a
political rival, is a warning to anyone who thinks the anonymity of the
internet gives them a license to lie about public figures, legal experts say.
McNerney, a Democrat, agreed to apologize to GOP consultant Alan Marcus to settle
a five-year defamation case Marcus waged over online comments McNerney posted
under fake names in 2014. The comments alleged that Marcus committed fraud,
blackmail and corruption and was about to be indicted. Marcus’ attorney has
deemed the settlement agreement, which includes an undisclosed financial sum
and McNerney’s public apology, the result of “landmark” litigation. Legal
experts won’t go as far as to call the settlement a landmark, but the
resolution of the case does contain a lesson for trolls who think online
anonymity is an impenetrable shield, according to lawyers who talked to NorthJersey.com and
the USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey.)
