Judge allows Dershowitz's $300M lawsuit against CNN to proceed.

Professor Alan Dershowitz, the famous civil liberties attorney, will be allowed to go forward in his $300 million lawsuit against the Compromised News Network (CNN) and move to depositions.

The shysters for CNN--excluding Jeffrey Toobin who was not on hand and thus unavailable--filed a motion to dismiss in November but a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida didn't agree with their argument and said Dershowitz can proceed. 

The lawsuit states that CNN unfairly edited comments from Dershowitz about whether former President Trump could have been impeached if he committed an illegal act that he believed was in the public interest.

Dershowitz says in the lawsuit that garbage network repeated played that clip over and over in order to make him appear as if he "had lost his mind." 

Following the airing of that clip over and over again, the hosts, together with their panel guests, including CNN employees and paid commentators, exploded into a one-sided and false narrative that Professor Dershowitz believes and argued that as long as the President believes his reelection is in the public interest, that he could do anything at all – including illegal acts – and be immune from impeachment. The very notion of that was preposterous and foolish on its face, and that was the point: to falsely paint Professor Dershowitz as a constitutional scholar and intellectual who had lost his mind.

CNN's attorneys argued that the lawsuit should be dismissed based on the fair reporting privilege of the press.

Dershowitz explained on Newsmax that the fair reporting privilege didn't extend to CNN's actions exactly because they unfairly misrepresented what he said. 

"They took out the words 'lawful and illegal' in order, deliberately, to convey the impression that I thought the president could engage in illegal and unlawful conduct and still not be impeached, exactly the opposite of what I said," said Dershowitz.

In an email to Law & Crime, Dershowitz [who had to be smiling when he wrote it] said he was looking forward to "deposing the commentators and heads of CNN and of the truth coming out."

If you have any stock in that network, it's time to sell.

Lightfoot’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire or Fox News.

Australian political commentator Rita Panahi responded to the allegations by writing on Twitter: “More ‘anti-racist’ racism. Almost amusing how regressive race-obsession is celebrated among the Left.”

“Racism in the name of wokeism is still racism,” another commentator said. Another added, “So wouldn’t that make her a racist?”

Progressive writer Zaid Jilani wrote: “Is she going to do some kinda DNA test to assure she upholds this rule?”

“It is unclear when such a practice was enacted and if it only applies to local reporters, particularly after her MSNBC appearance with Stephanie Ruhle on Monday,” Fox News reported. “During her MSNBC interview, Lightfoot told Ruhle she would ‘encourage’ Chicago residents to continue wearing masks despite the new CDC guidance allowing those with the coronavirus vaccine to go without them.”

“I know for me personally, I’m going to continue to wear a mask in public and I’m going to encourage others to do so,” Lightfoot told Ruhle. “We’ve got to make sure that people are continuing to follow the public health guidance that has gotten us this far, and masks, I think, are a big and important part of that.”

Lightfoot said on Tuesday afternoon that her decision to continue to encourage people to wear masks was not based on distrust of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“But I think their guidance last week regarding masks has people confused…We need clarification,” Lightfoot said. “We still have a long way to go to hit the critical mass (of vaccinations) or herd immunity. I don’t want people to have false confidence.”

“To say, ‘If you’re vaccinated, you don’t have to wear a mask,’ that’s great. But what about all of the other people who are out there that aren’t vaccinated?” Lightfoot added. “There’s no way to know that. So I think for the time being, most people are gonna continue to wear masks outside of their homes.”
