Hilarious, "nobody knows how much it was but it's millions"

More righty baloney.

If he broke a court order, he will be punished.

But here is where it gets sticky:

Wood believes a retweet by Stelter insinuating that CNN paid a minor amount over the lawsuit is a violation of confidentiality.

Stelter shared a tweet by attorney Mark Zaid which claimed “[Sandmann] was undoubtedly paid nuisance value settlement [and] nothing more.” This is a LIE. That kid got a MULTI MILLION DOLLAR settlement and Stelter could lose his job for violation the CA. (confidential agreement)
If there is a confidentiality agreement in place, how do we know it was a "multi-million dollar settlement"?

Right? Neat "logic" there.

Rather unlikely.

A pretty well-written analysis here. Warning: You may find it lacking in bold, uppercase and exclamation points, though.

Oh, and Lin Wood, if you're reading this: I don't work for the Post, so pfffft.

No offense, but the logic is a bit Trumpian, here. Breach of confidentiality is when you leak information that you have agreed not to disclose, correct? Logically, it doesn't work too well to argue - at the same time - that "the kid got MILLIONS" and "you are breaching confidentiality by leaking that the kid only got $50K", or whatever the speculated sum is. I mean - one or the other, right?

I'll save you the trouble and point out that it's probably a non-disparagement clause that Wood is hanging his ambulance-chaser hat on.

If the lawyer decide that it was a breach of contract then he should have some consequences, everyone here arguing about it really is just sort talking out of their rears , unless they are that type of lawyer and have read the exact wording in the case. Speculation is fine, I guess, but no ones really knows but the parties involved.

That all said I'd like to see that fat bald turd take it in the shorts. Guy is a lying sack of you know what.

If what Stelter said is NOT true, he wouldn't be breaking any confidentiality rules, would he?

Confidentiality requires you not tell the truth about the settlement.

My guess is, though, he DID tell the truth and it was minimal.
