OK, cite me the statute that makes "impersonating a journalist" a crime.
Anyone who sells a product that, after the sale, can be found to be substantially NOT what was agreed to can be prosecuted for fraud. Why is someone impersonating a journalist exempt? Like I said, make them spend $50,000 making the case. In fact fraud involving “wire communication” is even more severe, as I recall and fraud across state lines as well.
And don’t tell me you aren’t ready to go there, yet. You had best gird your loins because this IS war and you had best get ready for much worse than this. In fact, what I am proposing is an attempt to avoid war.
