When it comes to Trump the news organizations never assign any reporters to work on his illegal acts

[UCmeNdc]

With Donald Trump's corruption, news organizations don’t assign a squad of reporters to look into every aspect of it, so no new facts are brought to light and no new stories get written.

2. The kid-glove treatment could very well be because Trump sues everybody.

David Cay Johnson talks about this:

I wrote a piece for Politico magazine back in April about all of Donald Trump’s (mob) connections. And Donald finally called me. He’s had my home number for years. He’s called me at home in the past. And he said to me, "Well, you know, you’ve written a lot of things I like. But if I don’t like what you’re writing, I’m going to sue you." I said, "Well, Donald, you’re a public figure." In America, that means that he would have to prove that I deliberately, knowingly told a lie about him. And he said, "I know I’m a public figure, but I’ll sue you anyway." And it’s one of the reasons the news coverage of him has been so soft. He has threatened to sue everybody. That Politico piece that I wrote, I’ve been an investigative reporter for almost 50 years; I’ve never been lawyered like I was for that piece. And it didn’t have anything that hadn’t been published before. He has intimidated the news organizations, and they’re not willing to talk about that.

3. So why the hell is the media appeasing him?

They have the wherewithall to countersue because his suits are just about all vexatious. Last I checked, SLAPP suits are illegal and routinely get thrown out in court as frivolous and/or vexatious, but IANAL.

OTOH, I wonder if the judge is in his back pocket.

5. Defending a lawsuit, even a frivolous one, is very expensive.

The bosses probably have decided that it's a whole lot easier and cheaper just to keep throwing softballs.

4. CNN had coverage of the Trump/Bondi "bribery" case this morning.

They reported that their investigative reporter Drew Griffin was going to be doing more reporting on this.
He tweeted about it this morning.
Here's Griffin's twitter account:

The FBI needs to be looking at this pronto!

7. Only four Retweets though... That McIver one, how come no one has tracked her down ? How come the

Trump Campaign haven't been forced to bring her out in public ? Loads of free hits and they take none of them.

6. The Democratic Party need to trumpet this, in interviews/social media etc. Put it up to them, while

at the same time hitting at Trump that there he's a crook/fraudster. That's what the Reps have been doing to the Clintons, and they have ZERO evidence for doing so !!!

8. The Democratic Party needs to ask why this is being done.
