He’s not part of any Trump organization or the administration, and as far as I know, has had no contact with the administration. He’s just a commentator and twitter guy. How can he distance himself from someone he’s never been next to? What he seems to be saying is that he will become an objective reporter instead of an opinion-based commentator. If so, that is his right, but it sure impacts his credibility and courage that he would do it out of fear of a subpoena. IOW, he seems to just be a total loser and a poseur.
Cernovich has inside information before others.
Probably why he got a subpoena. He was told he was getting one.
