New revelations emerge in Jane Mayer NYT report
The fact that Trump would try and block the merger between Time Warner and AT&T that included CNN and wouldn't stand for it, is Autocracy in overdrive. And since the court case was upheld held in favor of the merger, while Gary Cohn didn't go along with Trump's demands to interfere with that merger, it is clear that Trumps interference reaches to a level of impeachment. With a laundry list of impeachable offenses, I don't see this criminal serving out the rest of his illegal presidency.
John Kelly knew that Trump's desire to file the lawsuit would place Trump in legal jeopardy. John Kelly is no dummy but Trump obviously is. Trump's desire to block this merger, his documented (by Cohen & Kelley) opposition to it, and Trump's desire to intervene is only further demonstration that Trump is a fvcking moron wanna B gangsta. Not a smart guy at all.
What personal "legal jeopardy", ck?
Federal regulators block mergers all of the time. And when they don't block them completely, they put up restrictions.
Anti-trust laws require federal review of these kinds of proposed events, that's why the merging parties let the authorities know in advance.
