President Trump's reelection campaign announced on Tuesday they have filed a lawsuit against the Washington Post for libel with regards to two stories they published alleging Russian connections with the campaign.
...
The two articles the campaign are suing over includes an article from July 2019 by Paul Waldman, "which contains the defamatory statement 'who knows what sort of aid Russia and North Korea will give to the Trump campaign, now that he has invited them to offer their assistance?'"
...
The second article the campaign says has defamatory statements is authored by Greg Sargent and was published in June 2019, which claimed "that Special Counsel Robert Mueller concluded that the Campaign 'tried to conspire with' a 'sweeping and systematic' attack by Russia against the 2016 United States presidential election."
Reminder on the last one... Mueller concluded there was no conspiracy between the campaign and Russia.
That is not what Mueller stated. He stated he was unable to establish collusion between the campaign and Russia, the biggest issue being proving intent. Did Don Jr. REALLY not intend to conspire with Russians in the Trump tower meeting held 3 floors away from Donald *(of course Donald had no knowledge of that meeting at all)? Did he really want to discuss russian adoptions?
Hard to prove intent. This lawsuit will go no where. Both statements are arguably true.
But Trump and his people can spread bunk that the selloff was all due to Bernie, that Coronavirus is a liberal hoax, further back that Obama has a fake birth certificate, etc. And nobody gets to muzzle them, right?

Which is still not what the article stated. The article stated intent even though you just said Mueller did not prove intent.
We will see where it goes... lots more conservative judges these days.
It's fascinating to watch the MSN from papers to the teevee completely destroy their brands of decades in their lying and crooked attempts to preserve the status quo in the face of the Trump revolution.
WaPo /= to even a grocery store rag these days. IMO only the competently stupid and clueless believe them without or question now.
Free press sucks. If you are an authoritarian. If he gets reelected and gets rid of the press, uses Fox as a mouthpiece for the government he could do whatever.
Yep, See where this is going. On the form of State controlled media. Thats one of his ideas of control.

Feel kinda sorry for you if you think WaPo is free press.

Mueller didn't prove anything but any news source can make a deduction from the report, this is not a court of law its a news paper. If people choose to sue Sean Hannity for every statement he made he would be off the air.
These are frivolous law suits, I hope the courts make him pickup the tab.
