I don't like running to "teacher" or the courts unless its a really good case. Slander, especially to the tune of $435 million, is a tough hurdle. It's especially tough if the suit is brought in a liberal jurisdiction like California (where Nunes is from) or DC or NY. Think of the jury composition.
Also, I don't think that the publicity of being hauled into court on something like this strikes fear into AT&T/CNN. So, I don't see how it works.
Now, if there was a provable conspiracy,then it should be a criminal case. That would be nice, I'd be behind it, but DOJ is afraid to touch it because of the power of the MSM to make it a political freedom of the press issue.
One can either push back or lie down and speak the words of the Gadsden Flag while keeping the fangs capped.....even if the bad guys don’t scare easy doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be made to perceive that they won’t be unopposed.
Even though some battles are lost, they still need to be fought.
