Michael D. Cohen, President Trump’s personal attorney, says he has instructed his own attorney to investigate legal action against BuzzFeed, which posted an opposition research “dossier” that accused Mr. Cohen without proof of a conspiracy with Russian agents.

Mr. Cohen told The Washington Times that he also is considering a lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the gossipy 35-page dossier that the liberal news website posted on Jan. 10.

Mr. Steele was paid by a Hillary Clinton supporter, via the Democratic Party-linked firm Fusion GPS, to gather dirt on candidate Trump last summer and fall. GPS circulated the Steele memos to reporters and Democrats.

“Good. Fake news is just another name for slander or libel, and should be prosecuted.”

Thanks! Check my new tagline.

My pleasure. The Fake news is such a pia. Maybe the sharks, aka lawyers will go after these liars big time. As liars, most will settle out of court, as they can/could never document their fake news as real.

Hannity got that one female leech to back down really quick after he told her, his lawyers would be contacting her.

I think that the Trumps have gotten “I’m so sorry from a couple of their liars.

“It would be so sweet if somehow Jeb and McCain could be charged as part of the deceptions. “

Jeb’s lack of an IQ any higher than his body temp, is the reason he would not be charge.

McAinal got into the US Naval Academy, so at one time he had an above average IQ.

Mr Cohen wouldn’t be where he is, if he didn’t know the lay of the land when it comes to left wing judges.
