A federal official on Wednesday denied a news report that the U.S. Secret Service had formally spoken with Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign regarding his suggestion a day earlier that gun rights activists could stop Democratic rival Hillary Clinton from curtailing their access to firearms.
Pushing back against a CNN report that the law enforcement agency had had "more than one" exchange with the Trump camp about the remark, an official familiar with the matter told Reuters there had been no formal conversations with the campaign regarding the comment made to supporters the day before.
"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks," Trump told a North Carolina campaign rally on Tuesday, accusing Clinton of wanting abolish the Second Amendment by appointing liberal justices to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know," he added, leading some critics to believe Trump was referring to gun violence against his rival.

No such meeting or conversation ever happened - a made up story by "low ratings" @CNN.
This is an update from this thread:

CNN still sticking with their original report as of right now. However, they did read Trump's tweet.
I thought not.
Ping from the original thread!
Now a Reuter’s reporter is getting sexually aroused by the CNN report. These guys have the weirderst ftishes.
Imagined if Trump says “target” in any context?
Oh, the humanity!
Not sure Trump made his comment with creating a media storm in mind but he sure is getting a lot of free publicity out of it. Too bad it is at same time that news of DNC murder of their hacker, plus Clinton’s seizures. Oh well, I’m sure it will all work out in the end. Poor media outted as liars and used at the same time.
If anyone’s in danger of getting bumped off, it’s Trump, not Hillary.
Why would there be a discussion? about what? was his life threatened by the CNN? Or the DNC?
Did you see the transcripts from CNN of the “guy in a red shirt, behind Trump.”? CNN suggested his jab dropping reaction was because he thought Trump had “incited or suggested violence.” CNN interviewed Mr. Vickers, and he hoist them on their own petard. Immediately after, and I mean immediately, no commectial break, the commentators lied about the interview that took place right before their eyes.
nor should there be. This was a nothingburger from the start.

More lies and innuendo from Democrats.
It’s just business as usual from the lying liar Hillary and her accomplices.
Hillary says words have tremendous consequences. How appropriate for the impact of her lying words.
Thanks for the ping
I missed it. I hope it’s available on Youtube. I know that liberals were using him, saying his mouth dropped, to say that the crowd interpreted Trump’s remarks as that he was calling for her to be killed too.
Doesn’t matter what really happened. The terms of the debate have now been established by the media, by hillary, and by bammy sending the secret service to talk to Trump.
The truth doesn’t matter. It now is officially, and for all time, “Trump threatens Clinton”.
Doubtful? what does “Katrina” now mean? eh? A woman’s name? No. It’s “Bush hates Black people”.
It goes down in history that way. They control the media. They control the terms of the national debate.
This looks like this is even more BS than I thought -_-
If they made this original story up... this is just getting down right stupid.
Thank you for the ping.
Nor should there be
A. LIV media that has LIV audience
A tempest in a teapot
Let’s talk about things that REALLY matter
The media once again embarrasses their criminal selves.

I agree. When the Washington Post keeps posting articles comparing to Hitler, Mussolini, etc., what do they think could happen?
