No, because the allegations against her opponent may be proved false.

Explanation:

Any act that is against law is allegations. These are some assertion or idea and it cannot be proved. These are our assumption. This may be some time true and sometimes it may be a false assumption. For instance you may have an assumption that a person stole a pen from you.

But, you don not have any proof that the pen was stolen by him only. So, this assumption is allegation. A formal claim that you make against a person means allegation legally. Hence, leaking allegations against her opponent by Felicia Robinson can be proven false because there wont be any proof to be true.
