Who is Ted Olson, the former Bush lawyer representing CNN and Acosta against the White House?
Washington Examiner ^ | November 13, 2018 | Naomi Lim

Posted on 11/13/2018 3:12:42 PM PST by kevcol

Olson, Ted Boutrous, and Anne Champion — all from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP — filed documents in Washington's federal district court Tuesday that outlined their case against Trump, senior aides, and Secret Service personnel after Acosta's "hard press pass" was suspended last week.

The decision followed a heated press conference exchange between Trump and Acosta, during which a White House intern tried to wrestle the microphone from the journalist to prevent him from asking another question. Acosta has denied "placing his hands" on the young woman as administration officials claim

“Can’t believe Ted is representing CNN, the fake network.”

More like Ted is taking CNN and their wallet for a ride.

Folks need to lighten up. A fool and his money are soon parted.
The most important thing at Gibson, Dunn is billable hours.

Bill away Ted, bill away! CNN is losing. :)

Why did trump call on him?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because he is not afraid to talk to anyone unlike his predecessors who would only take pre-approved questions from pre-approved people.

The tard didn’t get the boot for asking a question, he got the boot for Acosting an intern.

He was never a conservative. He is definitely part of the neocon deep state.

Wow! He used to be such a good guy, too, or so I thought. Married to Barbara Olsen who perished in the 911 attack in Pennsylvania. She would not be proud.

It’s time for somebody to dig up some dirt on Ted Olson. Nobody is perfect or beyond reproach. Put this old horse out to pasture, once and for all. He’s become a troublesome obstruction in his late career.
Where’s a 1973 #MeToo Moment when you need one?
Has he ever met Omarosa? She probably has that meeting on tape.

The answer to the headline is simple, Ted is a Deep State operative. He is and always has been. A true die in the wool Never Trumper.

I am sick and tired of the Demons saying “doctored” video.

It wasn’t doctored. You can see clearly Acosta knocks the young lady’s arm down with a chop.

If you want to see something “doctored,” look at Obozo’s “birth certificate.”

Ted Olsen wrote a piece with another former soliciter general to mislead Americans about the meaning of “natural born citizen” to support the notion that the children of foreign nationals are eligible to be President, despite the fact that the founders were specifically excluding them with the phrase.

Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are as eligible to be President as Ted Cruz.

Barbara Olson was on the plane that slammed into the Pentagon.

It should never win. Credentials are not a right for a reporter. Especially one that disrespects the office of the President.

Olson’s been pretty wobbly since he lost Barbara on 9/11. She was the conservative heart of that couple.

Thanks for the voice of reason, So is a Judge suppose to require the President to answer his questions as well? We are really going down a deep dark hole.

I think we all assumed because we liked his wife Barbara’s books so much and respected her that he had to be a good guy too. It began to look like their marriage was more like Carville and Mary Matalin’s...him a jerk and her a logical, common sense person.
