Snyder's next subpoena could be sent to you. |
To an observer who assumes the worst about Snyder and has no legal background (like the HR Department), this move seems like a fishing expedition designed to further intimidate the media. Steinberg's relationship with McKenna hardly seems relevant to whether or not McKenna libeled Snyder, and Snyder's PR man Tony Wyllie has said that this lawsuit is, at least in part, intended to chill future criticism of the Redskins' commander-in-grief.
Snyder simply doesn't play nice, and each new development in his lawsuit is further evidence of that. No one denies that he has the right to sue McKenna, but his legal eagles need to stick to the relevant facts of the case and not start subpoenaing every reporter who ever wrote anything about McKenna's story. Perhaps this overreaching suggests that Snyder's team hasn't been able to come up with much of a case. Should Snyder lose he will have managed to embarrass himself yet again, which is quite the feat for a guy who once sued an elderly and unemployed Redskins season ticket holder who tried to end her 10-year ticket agreement after one year. But as long as Snyder continues to fall on his face, the HR Department will be here to fire him.
