Trump declared in a Thursday tweet that he is bringing back the Fake News smugglers from the legacy media. After pointing to the clear evidence that proves the whole Russia Collusion as false, Trump’s weariness over the term “The Big Lie” being lodged against him, and the January 6 Committee accusations (without compelling evidence) that Trump tried to overturn a fair 2020 election and incited an insurrection, Trump has chosen to go on the legal offensive against the media outlets that have run 24/7 coverage and commentary.

CNN was notified that I intend to bring suit against them over repeated defamatory remarks. Other media outlets that have made false statements against me or defrauded my public about the massive evidence of fraud during the 2020 Election will be subject to legal action. I won’t stop fighting for truth and the country’s future!
Alex Parker, my colleague, covered all details in the lawsuit and letter.
CNN’s response to this news has been interesting, to say the least. It has been tacitly ignored by CNN, a low-rated news agency just as they did with Nicholas Sandmann or the Covington children.
CNN posted an article about Trump. It wasn’t a response to Trump’s shot across the bow, but it was written intentionally to deflect, and gaslight. The article posited that Trump’s woes and the J6 “evidence” are sure signs that Trump is in growing legal jeopardy.
Mmmkay:
This came a day after it emerged that two senior former aides to then-Vice President Mike Pence, Marc Short and Greg Jacob, had gone before the grand jury. It was clear that Trump and his close aides were under scrutiny by the Justice Department.
“I am not one to say every time there is breaking news or a development that it is hugely significant,” said Preet Bharara, former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who is now a CNN legal analyst.
“This is. This is very significant,” Bharara told CNN’s Jake Tapper, predicting that there would be a flurry of disclosures in the coming days about other witnesses to the grand jury.
It would be Preet Bhara, the former Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired in 2017. He was only hired by CNN because he was against Trump’s administration.
I didn’t resign. Just moments ago, I was fired. The greatest honor in my professional career will be being the US attorney for SDNY.

This is not an example of bias.
The department has also obtained a second warrant to search the cell phone of conservative lawyer John Eastman, a key figure in the plan to thwart the certification of Biden’s victory on January 6, 2021. We don’t know the length of the Justice Department probe into the period after the election. But there is at least a strong impression now that it is feeding off the progress made by the House select committee — a factor that would lend that probe increased legal and historical significance.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Did they find any compelling evidence on the first dump of Eastman’s phone? Will they embarrass Eastman again? Or was it enough to publicly humiliate him?
It’s a drumbeat of public showings of FBI serving warrants meant to disgrace the recipient, probes and testimony of third-degree staffers, and breathless pandering about “potential” criminal activity. But this is barely gunshot residue—where is the smoking gun?
Johnathan Turley, a legal analyst, poses the same question:
Although the Committee has the ability to continue scheduling new hearings the 8th hearing highlights that there is no compelling criminal case against Donald Trump. Despite the prior promises of the members, the hearings have largely amplified what was previously known rather than introduce new “smoking gun” evidence. The Committee is unable to present the long-promised criminal case despite the absence one member.
Several political prognosticators believe that Trump’s Tuesday speech in front of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) was the unofficial launch of his 2024 campaign. Much of Trump’s own legal maneuvers appear to be seeding the ground as well as clearing the baggage toward this presidential run. CNN, MSNBC, the “Joke-6” hearings, they are all hoping and—Turley even alluded to religious fervor—praying for a criminal investigation so they can blunt, no, RemoveTrump’s future presidential campaign.
The question is still open as to whether legacy media outlets that collude with the FBI, DOJ and Democrats can blunt anything. Trump sueing media people for defamation is also uncertain.
It is impossible to predict what Trump will do, as we cannot know until Trump declares it.
