quote:she had a history of having "romantic relationships" with cops and and other people to get scoops and so I don't think it was much of a stretch to think she bagged a gman to get the Richard jewell info out of them.
It is in a movie, so it has to be true
She's clearly not around to refute the stories so of course her friends and family will deny it.
She fit the profile of the slutty do-anything reporter so if she can ruin jewell's life based on a profile she gets the same treatment.

Finally got to see it on Prime.
Really good movie; surprised how good it was considering the scope of the movie.
Wish though they had not insinuated that the FBI leak to the press was just because of drunken sex with Kathy Scruggs.
Leak was intentional for the city of Atlanta and financial reasons so people would say, hey the FBI has their guy, we can now go back to the Games and spend all our money.
Atlanta needed a quick scapegoat to quell fears while the Games were still going on...once the Games were over, they dropped Richard as a suspect.
They knew early on he couldn't have done it. I wish the movie would've showed that...their deceitful railroading of Jewell for reasons beyond solving the crime.
The only hint of that is from his lawyer when Jewell asks how they can wiretap his home and his lawyer says: "because you don't matter."
In the big picture of saving the Games, that is the truest statement.
