Also, if it was a picture of Biden or Pelosi or someone who is established as a public figure and has security to protect them from the loonies.  Instead, FoxNews showed a picture of a relatively low level government official who is already getting death threats and showed he was cozy with pedophiles, which is a consistent weird flash point for right wing extremists.  Kilmeades should be fired.  Any producer who approved the photo should be fired.  They are going to get this guy killed.

NARA moved approximately 30 million pages of unclassified records to a NARA facility in the Chicago area where they are maintained exclusively by NARA. Additionally, NARA maintains the classified Obama Presidential records in a NARA facility in the Washington, DC, area,” the statement said. “As required by the PRA, former President Obama has no control over where and how NARA stores the Presidential records of his Administration.”

Give Jared $2B to play with and a Trump aide will allow a visitor to take pictures of the nuclear documents. Does anyone really think this is far-fetched? This is exactly how it would play out. Then Jared quietly pushes profits to Donald.

Other than Jared being given $2B by the Saudis to run an investment fund even though he has zero experience doing so, he's also being paid 2x the standard rate in management fees per the deal with the House of 9/11.

The judge is arguably a public figure making the hurdle to prove libel much more difficult. The judge would have to prove actual malice rather than mere negligence. Also a Kilmeade-issued correction limits the damages he could recover.

So he should be announcing his 2024 presidential run this weekend ?

He should have announced it this morning, and should be doing everything he can to help the GOP take the House and Senate in November.

Shit's pretty fucking real for him right now, and that's his only way out.

Before, I was pegging it at 50/50 of whether he'd run or not, based on how much money the GOP was willing to toss his way going forward.

Now I'm saying 75% or more that he runs.

Not an attorney, but it seems like a really huge fuck around and find out moment for Fox News, since people tied to Fox News have already been spreading his name and address around, and he's a federal judge.  Seems like it's pretty easy to prove that they are trying to fuck with him.

Also, in general, really fucking dumb for Fox News to even try to associate people with Maxwell, given the photos of Trump with Ghislaine and Jeffrey.

They won't be able to cast their vote for DeSantis over Trump in the primary.

They show a photo of the man getting his feet massaged by a convicted sex trafficker of underaged girls with whisky and Oreos photoshopped in his arms. It can't be negligence. They know the photo is fake. They can't claim jest if there was nothing in the actual presentation to suggest it's parody or humor of any kind.

I would also guess that Kilmeade's chickenshit retraction via twitter was prompted by the FOX legal department when they recognized the above.

His reputation is attacked for sure. He was also likely put in danger by the photo and story, but I don't know how the law deals with that.

I guess FOX can fall back on their lame "we're really entertainment not news" excuse. Fuck them.

I'm just saying. I've been against every gameshow host and steak salesmen in history who has stolen nuclear weapon intelligence and classified documents. I'm against that. I don't think it has ever been really helpful. It seems wrong. At least it feels kinda wrong. I'm not an expert, though. I might be open to a counter argument. Probably not, though. But maybe.

Yes, maybe I made it complicated by referring to him as the judge but the dude in the pic, he would have to prove actual malice, which is a more difficult showing than negligence.

If he only had to prove negligence it would likely be a slam dunk. He can certainly sue...it's not a clear cut win or loss. This is current law and it comes from a 1964 Supreme Court case, NYT v Sullivan.

"The constitutional guarantees require, we think, a Federal rule that prohibits a public official from recovering damages for a defamatory falsehood relating to his official conduct unless he proves that the statement was made with 'actual malice'—that is, with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."

It was unquestionably false.  It was not disclaimed at the time as satire or anything close to it.  It intentionally cast the judge in a false light.  And not only was it done with malice, it was done with malice in a way that was known and intended to subject to the target to material threat of death or serious bodily injury.  Oh, and it was actual malice because they knew it was false.  The correction today ADMITS THAT -- they admit that they knew it was a meme, they were just joking.   Problem is, they published it without ANY statement indicating that it was satire etc.  That is, they took what they knew to be false, and published it as if it was true without any statement that it wasn't actually true.

It was intended to spur stochastic terrorism and subject the judge to injury/death.  Frankly, it should be investigated as a crime.  If you publish something with the intent to inspire people to kill me, you should fucking pay.

I'd take that case.  And I'd ask for the keys to Fox News in my exemplary damages prayer.

Kaffee: Crystal. Colonel, I just have one more question before I put Airman O'Malley and Airman Rodriguez on the stand. If you gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would Santiago be in danger? Why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base?

[Jessup hesitates]

Jessup: Santiago was a substandard Marine. He was being transferred...

Kaffee: That's not what you said. You said he was being transferred, because he was in grave danger.

Jessup: That's correct.

Kaffee: You said he was in danger. I said "grave danger"? You said...

Jessup: I recall what I said.

Kaffee: I could have the court reporter read back to you...

Jessup: I know what I said! I don't have to have it read back to me, like I'm...

Kaffee: Then why the two orders? Colonel?

Jessup: Sometimes men take matters into their own hands.

Kaffee: No, sir. You made it clear just a moment ago that your men never take matters into their own hands. Your men follow orders or people die. So Santiago shouldn't have been in any danger at all, should he have, Colonel?

Jessup: You snotty little bastard.

I think they must be more directly tied to the GOP criminal organization than I originally thought. I concluded what I did about the GOP because I can only explain their toxic stances and actions by assuming they're trying to stay out of prison. That also explains their omertà which the Jan 6 Committee is beginning to break down. 

FOX really doesn't need to go so deep in Trump's defense for ratings. They're not just raising questions from the clips I've seen posted, they're flat out lying about the search of Mar al Lardo and doing so with panels of every on air liar they employ. Why?

We know Hannity and others had direct access to President Trump to advise him. Were they behind the coup until it went bad? Was it their culpability that caused them to text (for the record) Trump to say call it off? If Trump had been successful in bullying Pence to disrupt the certification with help from the elected traitors in the joint meeting, had FOX agreed to make the case that the coup was legal and right?

In a coup or rebellion, the first things you take over are the radio and TV stations.

The hideous stink broadens.

I'm not sure a magistrate judge can be considered a public figure.  But you really don't think there was actual malice in running a photoshopped picture of him with Epstein?

I couldn't agree more. He went from having my high regard to being something of a hero to me. The language and sincere emotion with which he spoke moved me like music moves me. His ending, "then we are truly lost," haunts me to this day.

[Foosters 17,889]

obviously there was actual malice. Doubt on Kilmeade's part. He just reads the script. But certainly some edgelord employed by Fox news ran with it knowing full well it was a photoshop.
