Why hasnt Moore filed a libel or slander suit against WaPo?

Moore says the WaPo article wrongly describes his alleged behavior.
So why hasn't he taken the legal steps to demand a retraction or claim it is negatively affecting him?

Why hasn't Gloria turned over the yearbook?

Everyone knows it's not gonna happen. He's just saying this to convince his zealots that he's innocent.

She's not legally required to.
Moore can change that and he hasn't.
His lawyer sending a weak threatening letter and not a legally binding document. .
Why not?

They could make her if they really wanted to. All this is public posturing to convince people he's not a child molester. Very obvious.

The truth is an absolute defense and Moore knows it.

5 day demand for retraction must be served prior to filing suit in Alabama.....

That and then the burden of proof suddenly falls on him for somehow proving he didn't do something that never happened. This is why smear is so common in politics.
Only people with frick loads of money like Trump sue.
The fact that the accusations are falling apart very publicly likely has some impact as well.

So dipshits like you can go on a message boards and ask stupid questions all because your boy Weird Al's Pic really stole the thunder away from the BS Moore's yearbook pic.

Because Moore is considered a "public figure" and his lawyers know the burden of proof is so high it would be a waste of time.
" In the context of defamation actions (libel and slander) as well as invasion of privacy, a public figure cannot base a lawsuit on incorrect harmful statements unless there is proof that the writer or publisher acted with actual malice.
"The plaintiff must produce clear and convincing evidence that the defendant actually knew the information was false or entertained serious doubts as to the truth of his publication. In making this determination, a court will look for evidence of the defendant's state of mind at the time of publication and will likely examine the steps he took in researching, editing, and fact checking his work. It is generally not sufficient, however, for a plaintiff to merely show that the defendant didn't like her, failed to contact her for comment, knew she had denied the information, relied on a single biased source, or failed to correct the statement after publication.
Not surprisingly, this is a very difficult standard for a plaintiff to establish. Indeed, in only a handful of cases over the last decades have plaintiffs been successful in establishing the requisite actual malice to prove defamation."

Why haven’t the “victims” filed charges against Moore?

Damn, that case came out of Alabama. Alabama sheriff won a huge verdict over Martin Luther King and the N. Y. Times.

No one made him claim he'll sue them. He chose to do that.

His lawyers are apparently shite. Read the letter they sent the Washington Post.

Because it’s almost impossible to win a libel lawsuit against a journalist?
