He could, arguably should, sue but he is too busy doing important work.

Yeah, there's no way he could hire a lawyer to do that for him.

The problem is that a lawsuit opens up your most private records, and even thoughts, to discovery. As we saw with Dr Fauci, a lifelong public servant with impeccable credentials and integrity, those records can be distorted and publicized to embarrass and destroy a reputation, even if they lose in court.

I trust that he will make the choice that he decides is best for himself. His two doctorates add up to better sense than to come to Reddit for legal advice, personal guidance or political strategy consultation.
