President Trump deserves justice. Hopefully, he will actually “own” CBS. He could rename it NBS (No Bull Shit) and broadcast real news 24/7 into eternity.

It would be worth it to see EVERY employee of that perverted, no-integrity, no-honesty cesspool fired.

It would be a very interesting move, since the media feels POTUS Trump is “undermining” the law, for POTUS Trump to simply have Marc Elias arrested and held at Guantanamo Bay that mimics precisely the exact same way J6’rs were held until “trial”.

Give them something to scream about!!

When 60 Minutes said, “In recent weeks, President Trump has signed orders targeting several law firms”, are they talking about Trump revoking security clearances for those law firms? We don’t need tons of people with security clearances anyway, certainly not people who abuse it for political purposes.

“hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, to compile the “Steele dossier,” a collection of unverified reports alleging ties between Trump and Russia.”

No, it was not a collection of unverified reports, a Russian “source” that mislead them, etc.
It was a deliberate lie, created on Steele’s laptop with Sergei Skripol contributing to give it Russian flavor. Robert Hannigan of GCHQ resigned when Trump was sworn in, and a year later Skripol and his daughter were sprayed with Fentanyl (not nerve gas) and it was right in he shadow of the Salisbury British chemical warfare center.

No, it was not a collection of unverified reports. It was a straight up CIA/GCHQ fraud. Steele never agreed to interview for Mueller.

This interview was a flagrant violation of the truth. The show should either fire Pelley or cancel 60 minutes forever, it was that bad.

And ask around the aviation industry. Ask around the tech industry. Think there is a “right” that you will win a contract or even be allowed to bid on government work.
If you have a demonstrated record of outright fraud, adjudicated or not... you will not be let in. And you won’t get a security clearance. Very small problems will lose that clearance and that Government contract.

So is there some special status for a law firm that entitles them to security clearances and/or government business?

Welcome to the party lawyers. You were idiots, and now you don’t get the government work until Trump is gone at least.

yes on the security clearances

an eo also said if you use these law firms

no govt contracts for you

which would have crushed the law firms

i wish Trump would have stuck to his guns

but he compromised

if they do pro-bono work on his behalf

then he would back off

It’s a wonder CBS hasn’t has it’s license pulled for all the misleading stories they produce so much for being call news.

FCC taping fingers on desk.

If I'm Trump, I'll agree to settle if they'll cancel 60 minutes forever or donate 500 million dollars to the presidential library + public apology.

I think there’ll be an 8 figure settlement to make it go away. But, as I often bewail here, the number put onto a lawsuit is a number the lawyer snatches right out of the air. You can’t win a lawsuit unless you can prove calculable damages and I can’t imagine what damages Trump suffered. It’ll settle for political reasons, and the
Money and the humiliation of CBS is good enough

the president’s assault on the legal profession threatens the rule of law itself
—-

How many of Trump’s attorneys were prosecuted? Cohen, Giuliani, Sydney Powell and several others…

PLUS as Grok said these law firms did not seemingly protect the rule of law but acted to subvert it and acted as intermediaries to help a candidate to break campaign laws.

The only thing that matters is what will happen to CBS. It starts with the worst thing that COULD happen.

Trump own it? Tha’d be nice.

Yes, true I was a little off topic. CBS sucks. But they have to know at least what we know. They let Elias make that statement without challenging it, without “fact checking”, without an editorial note. It’s not quite the same as tampering with a video to give it the best (or worst) possible spin to boost (or damage) a candidate, but it’s in the same ballpark. The MSM are just propaganda and outrage machines.

“Trump is going to own CBS before this is over”

or President Trump could settle by owning the “60 minutes” show and time slot with total editorial control ... at that point, he fires all the producers and talking heads and hires a new bunch that focuses on countering the lies of all the OTHER media like CNN and NYT ...

I’m lovin’ it.

60 Minutes is the Jurassic Park of so-called “broadcast news”.

Old geezers like Pelley and Stahl got nothing to lose.

They’re going down like most Never-Trumpers go down, the hard way.

They’re making Trump’s decision to go all the way an easy one.

Folk atop CBS likely want a settlement, but the reality in show biz is the “talent” call the shots.

And broadcast news is all show biz and has NOTHING to do with telling truths.

Companies that use fake cream use the word Kreme.
Companies that use fake cheese use the word Cheez.
CBS should be using the word Nooz.
