I think the way it could go is that the aggrieved party would take the writer to court for defamation and the writer would have to rely on the truth defence & call in his sources if possible or, I think ( not being a lawyer ) the aggrieved party would positively assert in court that no such thing happened and then have to be confident that there is no smoking gun out thereWill be interesting to see if it's lawyered such that the assertions would hold up on the weight of them being genuine testimony from sources who have contributed under guarantee of anonymity, or lawyered such that the author can simply claim that he has done nothing more than provide a voice to the "opinions" proffered to him by others (and he makes no claims as to the veracity of these opinions beyond implying that if true, they paint Albo in a poor light)?
