Al Gore Sues Al Jazeera Over $500M Current TV Deal

Former Vice President Al Gore is suing Al Jazeera for not paying the full $500 million price for his cable news network, Current TV.

Gore, who filed the lawsuit in Chancery Court in Wilmington, Delaware, Friday with Current TV co-founder Joel Hyatt, is being represented by lawyer David Boies, who was also his attorney in his bid to have a Florida recount in the 2000 presidential race he lost to George W. Bush, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Al Jazeera wants to give itself a discount on the purchase price that was agreed to nearly two years ago," said Boies. "We are asking the court to order Al Jazeera America to stop wrongfully withholding escrow funds that belong to Current’s former shareholders."

Boies and Al Jazeera have agreed to have the case sealed, even though Gore’s lawyer says he’s hoping it will eventually become public.

He's a snake. He faked and lied his tree hugger b.s.. Then used his position in government to steal the rights to ownership of a national tv station. Lied and cheated on his wife Sold his ill gotten gains, (tv station) to the biggest terrorists he could find in order to help them indoctrinate small brained Americans for decades to come. 12:57pm has it right, Al Gore is a trator and should be hung or shot for treason against the country he claimed to represent. I despise this phony, lying, fat faced dirt bag and wish him the worst that life has to offer.

I feel bad for him. He's probably dead broke like Hillary. I heard he's having a hard time paying his mortgages and planes and boats. Poor man. He may have to dip into the millions he has in savings. Someone save him
