Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz even suggested on Twitter that CNN could have a legal problem.
Troubling. I assume CNN's lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker's IP...it's a GA crime if they threatened to Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule.... he wrote.

They PROMISED they would Dox him if he said something they didn't approve of.
Good for Ted, glad he’s settling in to being a good Senator for Texas.
Network “appears to threaten”?
Are we discussing an “alleged” crime?
And in other news: Trump is a corrupt racist misogynist and everyone knows he’s Putin’s puppet, because anonymous sources said so and that’s as good as a conviction.
Rumor going around that Twitter has killed that hashtag.
I think this ordeal needs a special prosecutor :o)
CNN really needs to read up on “The Streisand Effect” because they just poked that particular bear.
This just in.
It has been reported by someone with the initials KC that CNN has done an exhaustive investigation of the creator of the Trump CNN Wrestling Video.
CNN has obtained a DNA Sample of the Criminal and has sent it off to Ancestry.com.
The results indicate that the Criminal’s DNA sample contains proof that 5% of his DNA is Russian.
Apparently his great Grandfather purposely Married a Woman who got knocked up by a Russian Door to Door Horseshoe Salesman who stopped by her Father’s Farm in the early 1800’s.
CNN will continue to cover this Breaking News.
Click here for Schrodinger's Incitement to Violence, a classic.
Good for Cruz
They didn’t “appear to”...they did. What child-abusing liars and criminals.
It isn’t just “take it down or we dox you”. It is the threat of “we can put you in front of the liberal hate mob if you EVER do it again”.
