Just received this email. I know that truth is on my side. I will not be threatened. I will practice my freedom of speech.
Ms. Rodgers,
Taking pains to state “It’s all alledged” by way of introduction does not provide you the liberty to libel Mr. Ball or Mr. Salahi. The “laywer-speak” term alleged protects law enforcement when pursuing allegations and media when reporting on allegations. It is not a security blanket for making unfounded statements against another person’s character.
Please remove the entry titled “Swinging Polo Mallets with Tareq and Michaele Salahi” from your blog post haste, and take pains to ensure your allegations are recovered from any third-party.
Sincerely,
Daniel Branda

DO NOT let these cowards intimidate you, freedom of speech is freedom of speech, you have written no slander and simply stated an opinion that HAPPENED to become national news; you have done nothing wrong. This is typical of Ball, trying to silence his opposition with legal threats, SHAME ON THEM! They are the greatest insult to what is left of the flawed and corrupt democratic process. Greg Ball has an absurd amount of dirty laundry in District 99 of New York and the locals are beginning to wise up to his ways. He is scrambling to protect what remains (if any) of his ruthless character and disenchanted voting bloc. DO NOT LET THIS PIG INTIMIDATE YOU.

I do not have a dog in this race, but I believe out of principle that politicians like Mr. Ball need to be brought down. They are not public servants, they are self-serving narcissistic megalomaniacs who do not have a place in public office. Him and the Salahi’s are prime example of the level of degeneration our society has reached, and it is a sad state of affairs. Miss A, keep telling the truth and don’t let Mr. DoucheBall think he can intimidate you into silence, when he is the one that did wrong. People have the right to know this information about elected officials. That is just part of the democratic process, so if democracy is not working for Mr. Ball, he should either leave public office or not commit the “alleged” acts to begin with. Jeez, is it really that hard to be ethical and moral nowadays?
Mr. Ball, your association with the Salahis and records of your misdeeds do not help your credibility. Neither does your bullying, so come clean and maybe, just maybe, people will at least respect you for that. So glad your are a Republican!! Still, you are an embarrassment to your party. Shameful.
It doesn’t appear that your statements about the Salahi’s are “unfounded” as Mr. Branda has suggested. Yes, you misspelled alleged, but I don’t think that’s a crime.
I’m laughing so hard at Pam’s comments I can hardly type. You have hit the nail on the head. Although I don’t think the ’self-serving narcissistic megalomaniacs who do not have a place in public office’ have any particular party they come from or gravitate towards. Rather they seem to move with the current trends. While a Republican was in the White House, they were all ‘Republicans’ and now that there is a Democrat in the White House, I can see that they will crawl out of whatever hole they live in and proclaim themselves Democrats. They really are a party of one. Themselves. They seek only to serve themselves, glorify themselves and turn the spotlight on themselves. Bit by bit the public attitude toward these types has moved from faint amusement to pained indifference to outright disgust. The Salahi’s little tale has really thrown the whole thing over the top. Because these people need money to function, since they spend all their time looking for ways to grab attention they can’t have real jobs, they use the front of charity and non-profit for ways to line their pockets. The next step is into the jail house, where Polo takes on a whole new meaning, if you catch my drift.
Please make sure you are also forwarding your findings and these threats to those who are in position to bring justice against these scumbags. Thanks for your courage!
