This week, the legacy media’s obsession with dragging President Donald Trump into the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein stooped to a shameful new low. The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself with a hyped-up Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a birthday card that Trump supposedly sent to Epstein in 2003. Curiously, the evidence in this bombshell is under wraps, but Trump denies writing and threatened to sue over the bogus report.
Attorneys have now filed that lawsuit.
This latest smear attempt is just another chapter in the media’s ongoing effort to tie Trump to Epstein, despite the lack of evidence and Trump’s documented decision to ban Epstein from Mar-a-Lago.

I hope he extracts a billion bux from Murdoch's evil empire.

The WSJ has surrendered any reputation it had left. Emma Tucker should be fired, and so should the journalist that sourced this smear.

Looks like another donation to the Trump Presidential Library is on the way.

When I told a sibling the WSJ was a leftist rag just a couple of years ago incredulity ensued. Hopefully they see this and realize they've been duped, and for quite a few years. Nothing would please me more than to see these bastions of leftist bilge go down in flames (literally, of course).

On Bo Snerdley's radio show this morning he really made me laugh.
If President Trump keeps winning these media lawsuits, his Presidential Center/Library in Florida "is going to be bigger than Disney World, but without the Rat"!

Gee, seems if you think you had the story on Trump, you'd check it out eight ways to Sunday and then reverify it again.
And then make the big reveal a birthday card? Big whoop.
And remember, suing people to Trump is like a hobby. Some folks collect stamps, Trump sues people.

MSNBC is horrified and disappointed that this isn't true.

WSJ messed with the wrong guy this time. Here’s hoping they lose EVERYTHING and are forced to close up shop. Then, I’ll never have to see Peggy Noonan’s picture again. Over the last few years, they’ve turned into a left-wing rag.

FTA:
One of the co-authors of the WSJ report, Joe Palazzolo, previously wrote for a publication called Main Justice, which was founded by Mary Jacoby, who happens to be the wife of Glenn Simpson, the Fusion GPS founder behind the debunked Steele Dossier and the Russia hoax. Both Simpson and Jacoby previously worked at the Wall Street Journal themselves, which tells you everything you need to know about the political rot festering in that newsroom.i

We call them libtards because a) they're unabashedly liberal (lib) and b) they're incapable of learning (tard). Despite copious evidence of what happens when you FAFO with Trump, they continue to insist on trying to smear him with long-debunked fabrications, and pay the price for doing so. Well, old Rupert has deep pockets. I'm sure he'll pony up a hefty sum to make Trump's suit go away.

So....do you think that PDT will have a section in his Library where it is mentioned about all the people/companies that PDT sued for lying?
(May the world never forget the targeting of our wonderful POTUS)

#12, probably more like plaques on various doorways saying, “This wing financed by ABC News”, “This wing financed by the Wall Street Journal”, etc, etc, etc.
