The latest in Donald Trump’s long sequence of impeachable offenses just came to light this morning.
In a new report from The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer it is revealed that Trump tried to use the Department of Justice (DOJ) to punish CNN for their unfavorable coverage of him.
Trump ordered former economic adviser Gary Cohn to put pressure on the DOJ to block a proposed merger between AT&T and the parent company of CNN, Time Warner. It was a massive business deal that would have benefit both Time Warner and CNN. Cohn resigned one year ago, deciding he couldn’t take it anymore.
Haven't the viewers of CNN punished it enough by turning away in droves?
This is not a bombshell. The Trump believes everything and everyone is duty bound to protect him. After all, the Trump was elected---well maybe elected---by something.
