Ol' Jimmy stomps out of the press briefing

quote:

CNN’s Acosta Blasts Sanders’ ‘Un-American’ Anti-Press Rhetoric After Walking Out of Briefing: ‘I’m Tired of This!’
by Tamar Auber | Aug 2nd, 2018, 2:28 pm 2640

On Thursday, CNN’s Jim Acosta confronted White House press secretary Sarah Sanders and asked her if she would say that the press is not the enemy of the people. She did not.

In response, according to Acosta, he walked out of the room “saddened by what just happened.”

He also spoke out on CNN. Filing his report in the back in the briefing room, Acosta said “I’m tired of this!” and noted it is not right to call the press the enemy of the people.

He then said this:

It is un-American to come out here and call the press the enemy of the people and Ivanka Trump knows that. I don’t know why her father doesn’t. And I don’t know why this press secretary doesn’t…It would be nice if we all lowered the temperature a little bit but at the very least, I think we should all be able to agree on one thing, and that is the press is not the enemy of the people. Fellow Americans are not the enemy of fellow Americans. And, you know, forgive me for going on a rant. But I think they lost sight of that here at this White House.


He tweets about it too. The responses are great!

I'm sure Gen. Sherman would have just loved having a Jimmy to yell at him demanding answers Wink ...he might have suffered more than a "butthurt"...I would bet though, that the press was much more polite back then...

He was was not a big fan of the press...Here are some quotes attributed to Sherman about the MSM of his day...

“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are.”

“I think I understand what military fame is — to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers.”

President Donald Trump and his legal team are likely to decide whether to grant special counsel Robert Mueller an interview with Trump within a “week to 10 days,” Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Thursday.

The former New York City mayor said Trump’s legal team will spend the weekend contemplating a new set of parameters proposed by Mueller for an interview with the president, then make a decision shortly thereafter.

But he added that the team is still considering declining an interview altogether, despite what he described as Trump’s ongoing desire to meet with Mueller. The two sides remain deadlocked over whether Mueller will get to ask Trump about possible efforts to obstruct the FBI’s investigation of Russian contacts with the Trump campaign.

Giuliani said he and Trump’s other attorneys are studying the latest proposal from Mueller that offered to narrow the set of obstruction-related questions the special counsel's team would ask the president

But Giuliani said the president’s team is still opposed to allowing Mueller to question Trump directly about obstruction and will insist that he limit his questions to the topic of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia — which Trump also denies occurred.

“We don’t want questioning on obstruction. They would have to concede that,” he said. “It depends on how much they want his testimony on the other [topic].”

Nope. Someone as corrupt as Mueller does not get to dictate terms. AT ALL.

The answer is "NO" for everything. You fire Rosenstein and Sessions in November and see what Mueller does when someone who actually believes in due process is in charge. Instead of the two pieces of corrupt trash we have at the head of the current DOJ.

This is not designed to end; the left is frothing at the mouth, not at an indictment of Trump (they know they don't have it), but to be able to repeat daily during the 2020 election cycle "and President Trump, who is still under criminal investigation by special council Mueller..."

Propaganda works. Especially if it is repeated loud and often.

For most of the last year we have been treated to unnamed sources, usually reliable, breathlessly telling us that Chief of Staff John Kelly would be leaving his post any time now, very soon, etc. He was sick of Trump, called him an idiot on at least one occasion, Trump was sick of him, has taken steps to marginalize Kelly out of the loop, etc.

So what happened? The WH said the other day that Kelly was asked by the President, and had agreed, to stay through the end of the term. That doesn’t mean that he will be there at term’s end of course, but apparently, the two men appreciate the arrangement at least for now.

The MSM and unnamed sources, have another black mark, as far as I can tell.

WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic opposition to Judge Brett Kavanaugh took a hit Thursday when liberal feminist Lisa Blatt, who is a Supreme Court star, called upon her fellow Democrats to vote for Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the nation’s highest court.

“I am a liberal Democrat and a feminist,” Blatt told readers in a Politico op-ed. “But we all benefit from having smart, qualified and engaged judges on our highest court, regardless of the administration that nominates them.”

Blatt has argued 35 cases before the Supreme Court, more than any other woman. She praised Kavanaugh for his proactive hiring of women clerks, comparing him in that regard to the Supreme Court justice for whom Blatt clerked, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A former assistant solicitor general through two Democratic administrations and one Republican administration, Blatt compared Kavanaugh to Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Justice Scalia, Judge Merrick Garland, saying that both of these appeals judges from the D.C. Circuit court are “brilliant, admired, experienced, sober and humane.”

She praises Kavanaugh for saying that Garland was “supremely qualified” for the Supreme Court while the latter’s nomination was pending during 2016, in which Kavanaugh was communicating that Garland was an excellent choice for a Democratic president.

Blatt said that just as she contended that Garland should have been confirmed in 2016, so too should Kavanaugh be confirmed now. Her endorsement is a bipartisan boost, as she emphasizes her commitment to advancing liberal priorities like abortion, but says that Kavanaugh is the epitome of the most decent and qualified nominee that anyone could expect from a Republican president, and therefore that he should be confirmed.

“My standard is whether the nominee is unquestionably well-qualified, brilliant, has integrity and is within the mainstream of legal thought,” she continued. “Kavanaugh easily meets those criteria.”

“Democrats should quit attacking Kavanaugh,” the Democratic legal superstar insists. “He is the most qualified conservative for the job.”

why does Acosta still have access to the WH?

he obviously doesn't like it there so why not just boot his ass and tell ABC to send someone with integrity

that might take 12 - 15 years to find someone at ABC with some integrity but they have a goal

Huh, he works for CNN.

The WH has never banned reporters for established news organizations.

Perhaps it is time to start. And post a set of rules that says that no reporter is permitted to just yell questions--they will have to raise their hands and be called on, one at a time. They are supposed to be adults--they need to act like it. Anyone not following the posted rules will be removed by Security. Three such removals results in a permanent ban.

JALLEN, although the issue of the scope of the investigation was addressed in April-May when the judge requested the unredacted memo, his remarks about the real intent of the prosecution show his skepticism. I think he may re-visit the scope as an out for overreach.
