No, I let you do all the obsessive paying of attention to all-things-Trump-is-evil.
I don't think someone in such a position of power, who swore and oath to support and defend the constitution would tread on violating the 1st amendment with a lawsuit.
link?NYT and WaPo followed up on this CNN story and thoroughly debunked the original falsehood from CNN.
You know it was a major FU on CNN's part when even their fellow travelers on the far left are debunking their story.NYT and WaPo followed up on this CNN story and thoroughly debunked the original falsehood from CNN.
The 1st amendment doesn't cover outright lies so this whole "fake news" thing should be an easy thing to solve unless perhaps its merely a way to allow his supporters to dismiss the truth about Trump
Here's the FIRST paragraph you posted: “Asked for comment, Brittany Bramell, the CIA director of public affairs, told CNN: "CNN's narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false. Misguided speculation that the President's handling of our nation's most sensitive intelligence—which he has access to each and every day—drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate."
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/10/us-spy-russia-kremlin-putin-administration-trumpThe Russian news site Daily Storm reported in September 2017 that Smolenkov, who had once worked in the Russian embassy in Washington, had not been seen since he went on holiday with his wife and three children to Montenegro in June of that year. The Russian authorities first investigated the disappearance as a possible murder but then became convinced that Smolenkov was still alive and living abroad.
On Monday night, the New York Times and Washington Post confirmed a CNN report that a US agent inside the Kremlin had been spirited out to the US after concerns about his safety, but they did not name the spy.
The US reports said that the agent had worked for US intelligence for more than a decade and reached a senior level with access to Putin himself. According to CNN, he had even provided pictures of documents on Putin’s desk.
Sure it does. Look at CNN. Every hour is spent lying about this president, and they are still broadcasting. There is no law that states you can't lie; unless you're under oath or if that lie leads to defamation - in which you must show real damages. In the case of the president, I don't believe he can sue under these conditions given his position of power and influence. It potentially becomes a constitutional problem.
I said as much previously.Realistically speaking, do you think the CIA would say, "yea, the story is correct"?
I think expecting the CIA to corroborate the story is silly.
And, yet, you can't verify it.That is exactly where the conversation started idiot. If they are all lies why doesn’t the president sue? Your response. Well they all lie about him! What sense does that make?
Have you heard of defamation ? That is a. Real thing. If they were lying Trump could sue on those grounds or even harrasment or I’m sure a lawyer could come up with some other things
He doesn’t because it is all verifiable.
And, yet, you can't verify it.
See, to sue, one would have to not be the president. As president, mostly news articles can say anything damned thing they want so long as they include weasel words like, "according to sources close to the situation" or some other such thing.
"It's the difference between paper law, and trial law."
Last I checked, Melania is not presidentWrong again. Once it comes to a trial you would have to prove to a judge those sources exist and that the quotes are real.
It would be very simple to do. He doesn’t do it because he is a lair.
Melania successfully sued already during this presidency.
Do you not know how anything works?
Of course the CIA head appointed by Trump is going to deny it.
