Hi,
What is the meaning of outfit and victims for truth in the following text?
The tactic was one he had perfected in other races. A mass mailing was sent to all registered voters from an outfit called Lawsuit Victims for Truth.
Thanks
"Outfit" is a rather insulting way to refer to an organization, in this case a fictitious organization invented to influence an election. Its name, "Lawsuit Victims for Truth", is meant to imply that lawyers harm people with lawsuits and that they lie about it. It means "Victims" of "Lawsuit"s are working to reveal the "Truth" about the legal system.
