Remember the campaign links story?
Six days before the campaign links of Kelly Allard were removed (and then all of them disappeared), she received a Cease and Desist letter under threat of a defamation suit.
Are they related?
We do not know.
You be the judge.
The Timeline

The Post is a scurrilous attack on X’s reputation and integrity. It is defamatory, unbecoming of an individual seeking public office, and entirely unacceptable. We hereby demand you immediately retract the Post, publicly apologize for your unwarranted attack on X’s character and reputation, and thereafter cease and desist from making any further defamatory statements regarding X….
