Exclusive — Attorney Preston Moore: I Was Offered $400 to Create ‘Fake News’ Video About Trump
Breitbart ^ | 18 Sep 2022 | JOEL B. POLLAK

“They wanted me to use fear to manipulate people.”

So says attorney and legal commentator Preston Moore, who posted a video Saturday saying he was offered, and rejected, $400 by the “Good Information Foundation” to make a video attacking Donald Trump.

Moore, who graduated from Harvard Law School and practices for the Georgia-based Beasley Allen law firm, posts daily at a TikTok account, trialbypreston. He focuses on legal news, political news, and personal stories from his own legal practice. He is not a Trump supporter.

With 89,000 followers, he has begun to build a significant presence. That, he told Breitbart News, seemed to be why he was approached by a 501(c)3 organization called the Good Information Foundation to make a video about Trump and January 6.

The foundation, whose website proclaims that “good information is the lifeblood of democracy,” and that it wants “to increase the flow of good, factual information online to counter and rebut the spread of misinformation and disinformation,” wanted Moore to create the video about January 6, and to post it on his social media platforms to reach the widest possible audience.

At first, Moore told Breitbart News, he was willing to do so. “To be honest, I would be willing to talk about specific facts, if you just want the literal facts,” he said. But after he asked for more information, he was given a set of talking points.

While the proposed content was originally billed as “nonpartisan,” the organization clearly wanted an anti-Trump attack ad: “The next paragraph made clear that it was not nonpartisan,” Moore recalled, noting that it said “now Trumpism has to go.”

As he noted in a now-viral video about his experience, he was also given a set of talking points that included several dubious claims about January 6,

Good on him. But seriously, $400 is the going rate to sell out your integrity?

I would have said pay me first then done everything opposite of what she demanded. Don’t like it? Sue me.

If lawyer Preston Moore is a smart lawyer he will have video recorded the Good Information Foundation agitator soliciting this defamation.

Otherwise, he's about to have troubles.

"Make a fake video for $400?! Are you kidding? What kind of a person do you think I am?"

"Well, we've already established that. Now we're simply haggling over the price."

“The next paragraph made clear that it was not nonpartisan,” Moore recalled, noting that it said “now Trumpism has to go.”

Actually, if you walk around the halls of the capitol in DC and ask around, you will find that "Trumpism has to go" is about as universally agreed to thing you can say there, with both parties. Does that actually make it non-partisan? Well, since it seems at the national level we have just a one-party system so I think technically it might.

Amongst we the people, on the other hand...
