Cue the crickets...
But Tuesday, U.S. District Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth tossed the case. "After years of litigation, endless depositions, the fictionalized
portrayal of this lawsuit and its litigants on television," Lamberth
concluded in a 28-page opinion, "this court is left to conclude that with
the lawsuit, to quote Gertrude Stein, 'there's no there there.' "
The plaintiffs, he wrote, "after ample opportunity . . . have not produced
any evidence of the far-reaching conspiracy that sought to use intimate
details from FBI files for political assassinations that they alleged.
"The only thing that they have demonstrated is that this unfortunate
episode -- about which they do have cause to complain -- was exactly what
the defendants claimed: nothing more than a bureaucratic snafu."
