CNN Lawyer Responds to Trump: "Your allegations and demands are rejected in their entirety"

CNN lawyer mocks Trump campaign’s demand to retract poll – and explains ‘how free speech works’

By Sarah K. Burris


CNN’s legal department sent a letter in response to the threats from President Donald Trump’s campaign over their recent poll showing the president losing handily to Vice President Joe Biden.

“To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40 year history that CNN had been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results,” the letter begins.

Trump, who spent the first part of the Black Lives Matter protests in the White House bunker, has been trying to show himself as a strong and powerful leader. Critics question the campaign’s complaints because the freakout flies in the face of Trump’s tough-guy persona.

<...>

“Your letter is factually and legally baseless. It is yet another bad faith attempt by the campaign to threaten litigation to muzzle speech it does not want voters to read or hear. Your allegations and demands are rejected in their entirety,” the letter closed.

"Very truly yours"

I believe that's the formal business equivalent of "bless your heart!"

Can you imagine working in that White House and hear the screaming whiney dirty diaper baby all day long?


Years ago I worked with a biopolar man. I never knew what guy I was going to get when it came in. The nice generous laughing guy or the moody asshole. I learned my way around him and stayed until he passed away. He had a lovely wife who I felt sorry foR. But I stayed because he also did good things for me like still paying me when I went back to school and did my student teaching to get my credential. after he died I got my credential updated and was able to work. And I also got good experience dealing with difficult people and how to get around them and get my way by manipulation.
