TRUMP FILES $10 BILLION SUIT AGAINST CBS AND IT'S NOT COMPLETE BULLSHIT

By Bob Walsh

 

Bill Whitaker interviews Kamala Harris during '60 Minutes.'

Bill Whitaker interviews Vice President and Democratic nominee for president Kamala Harris during a special primetime edition of '60 Minutes' on Oct. 7.

 

OK, it is MOSTLY bullshit, but not totally.  Trump is asserting that the CBS doctoring of the Kamala Harris interview was "partisan and unlawful" and an act of attempted voter interference intended to "confuse, deceive and mislead the public" in favor of the Democrat party.  The suit was filed in federal court in Amarillo where it is likely to land in front of a Trump appointed judge.  

Trump is asking for a jury trial.  

IMHO, based on my lengthy training and experience in constitutional law, is that this will go nowhere.  He MIGHT be able to successfully claim that the whole thing was a campaign donation which was not reported, and it was certainly partisan.  Whether or not it was unlawful is another question.

It MAY BE fun to watch, but will more likely be merely irritating.
