      Why doesn’t the Fake News Media state that the Trump Administration’s Anti-Trust Division has been, and is, opposed to the AT&T purchase of Time Warner in a currently ongoing Trial. Such a disgrace in reporting!

      You’ve got to be kidding me. That’s the point. It’s ongoing litigation, and the president just wrapped up that litigation — which is supposed to be independent of politics — in his political fight.

      First thx for deleting that..tips cap we’ll leave it at that :) Chris, there have been countless stories on this on the record where the admin openly opposes the merger. This is public knowledge that he’s stating and so did @PressSec today. See no issue with it.

      We've all had a long week, so yeah. But, I'm not in any way saying he's revealing a secret. The point is he's conflating the political fight he wants to wage, with an ongoing criminal investigation, with ongoing civil litigation. That's not good for anyone involved.

      Fair enough I just don’t see where there’s any major impact, it’s a fair point he’s making. Media want to push the pay to play narrative but fail to mention Vekselberg donated to Clinton, nor mention that DOJ opposed it. It’s not remotely balanced.

      I mean, I wrote a tweet saying it was "ill advised," explained in the next tweet what I meant by that, and you responded calling me "ridiculous" for thinking "every breath is criminal" — something I most assuredly didn't say. So, maybe you'd have a point if you were tweeting ...

          Heh. I didn't even say "ill advised." I just said "not well advised."

          Chris I get it, I do get your point, I’m not hard headed, hell look at the travel ban exhibit A. Just think the default these days is always negative and the media as a whole omit an awful lot.

          Seems Makam Delrhaim, DOJ Anti-Trust, would agree it’s ill advised given his affidavit stated suit was filed “without political consideration”.

          The President speaking on the topic doesn’t automatically constitute it’s political. It was a statement of fact. You folks are making assumptions as it suits your narrative to “get” Trump.

          No, it’s the opposite — as I’ve detailed previously but you just don’t seem to care — and the reason why the president generally does not comment on ongoing enforcement litigation.

          Trump’s tweet does not indicate action from himself but rather that “Administration’s Anti-Trust Division”. THEY are who’s opposed in the context of the tweet. Second it addresses why the MEDIA are not stating the division’s stance. It’d be different if he said “I” he didn’tpic.twitter.com/JDGHvSAoBS
