White House Tells Acosta He Will Be Banned Again in Two Weeks

[spanone]

Our democracy is under attack from the 'president'

=================

It looks like the battle between CNN and the White House is only just beginning.

White House officials have reportedly told CNN’s Jim Acosta that they will suspend his press pass once again at the end of the month—when the temporary restraining order that forced them to restore his credentials runs out.

On Sunday night, CNN’s Brian Stelter reported in his “Reliable Sources” newsletter that White House officials sent Acosta a letter stating that his pass will be snatched out of his hands again when the two-week order issued by a judge last Friday runs out.

Acosta had his credentials torn up after a row with the president at a press conference the day after the Midterm elections when Trump appeared to be in a foul mood. The White House accused the reporter of “[placing] his hands” on an intern who tried to take the microphone away from him while he was pressing Trump over inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants.

5. With so much proof of hostility and threatening, maybe Acosta can file a restraining order

Acosta can just stay at the WH, and the Rump won't be allowed anywhere near!

6. I Don't Think the White House Understands How a 2 Week TRO Works

a hearing will be held and their stance insures the judge will make it a Temporary Injunction lasting until a trial on merits (which usually is dropped by agreement)

7. Just Posted:CNN asks for emergency hearing after Trump threatens to revoke Acosta's press pass again

(CNN)The White House has issued a new warning to CNN's Jim Acosta, saying his press pass could be revoked again at the end of the month.

In response, CNN is asking the U.S. District Court for another emergency hearing.

"The White House is continuing to violate the First and 5th Amendments of the Constitution," the network said in a statement Sunday. "These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations. Jim Acosta and CNN will continue to report the news about the White House and the President."

Last Friday CNN won a temporary restraining order, forcing the White House to restore Acosta's press access to the White House for 14 days. Judge Timothy J. Kelly ruled on Fifth Amendment grounds, saying Acosta's right to due process had been violated. He did not rule on CNN's argument about First Amendment violations.

They got notice part. Still missing the right to be heard part.

9. this is a fight for freedoms

Look back to Mussolini to see where he's going with this.

I believe the incident was engineered in order to set this up. And I'm not alone.

10. Picking this fight is red meat for his base.

They're simply making noise to distract from anything consequential.
