Trump accuses The New York Times of 'a virtual act of Treason' for publishing a story

Trump will round up the 100 then declare a victory and move on to something else.

 

The right told us Russia is our friend. Flippity Flop.

 

Journalists quoting anonymous sources subject themselves to criminal and civil liability because they are the ones making the accusations, even when quoting anonymous sources.

So yes, YOU accused me of a crime. Now stop being a coward and tell me your real name. Subject yourself to criminal and civil liability.

And jesus ****ing christ. The word is ANONYMOUS, not "anomynios"

I think you are lying. And I mean, you are stating something that you KNOW to be false. I don't think that anyone told you anything about MrTLegal and you are just making it all up to try to show how easy it would be for a journalist to do the same thing.

But they don't. At least not the mainstream media. If anyone is found to have done that, their career is over.

So be a man. Have the courage to tell us that there is no source. That you are lying about what you said about MrTLegal.

Or be a coward and play silly games. Your call.

And, by the way, yes - you would be committing libel. You are the one who is publishing the accusations. It is no defence to say that the falsehoods you are publishing originated elsewhere. By posting on the internet, you are publishing.

 

no it would be my source that would be lying if its wrong I just wrote down what he said
see how that works
and how do you know journalist don't just make crap up and claim a anonymous source told them? you cant prove they don't
that is why using just an anonymous source with no corroboration is unethical and cheap at the least

 

no it isn't liable as long as you make it clear this is what was told to you by someone else

 

If you're publishing things that will cause harm to our country you are treasonous. If relations between Russia and the United States are hurt due to news media coverage then they are hurting our country. They are seditious.

 

It can't be treason if the NYT checked with the WH and the WH said there were no security concerns with publishing the story.

The info was no doubt intentionally leaked to the NYT by intel officials in order to warn Russian scubags who are threatening to screw with our power grid. Trump is not privy to that kind of info because he refuses to read his intel reports.

 

Then they are about to commit treason.

 

We are not voting for Trump, so...nope.

 

You don't know case law very well. I suggest you check in with a lawyer.

 

I don't think you understood

 

I don't think you understand.

If your test for treason is "hurting the country's relations with another country", Trump is guilty of treason. He has hurt relations with many allies.

 

Lame post ... then show me the declaration of war from Russia to the USA (or vice versa of the USA to Russia) to make it comparable to 1944!

How about the fact that the US is diligently accusing all sorts of opponents of cyber attacks ... especially against Russia ... but doing the same for a very long time. This is called hypocrisy!

 

Everyone spies on everyone. Grow up.

 

Not what trump promised to KJU.

 

What a ****ing lame definition of treason and seditious.

Coincidentally, your definition would permit the government to arrest any news paper publication that "caused harm to our country."

 

You are absolutely and completely wrong. Go ask a lawyer.

 

Correct ... and why then this US whining and being so upset when Russia spies you the same way as you do at them?

 

We point it out because the vast majority of the world's population doesn't know about it.

 

Actually it was the left:

 

That's another lie...he never told KJU we wouldn't spy on him.

 

The left love communism. They cherish authoritarianism even more. That today the left all mouth their distrust of places like Russia is entirely disingenuous of them.
