Elliot Williams: The Idea That You Get into Illegalities Merely by Criticizing Trump, Simply Isn‘t the Case

RUSH EXCERPT:
WILLIAMS: "I really think it doesn‘t. Now, certainly the president has every right to be bothered by critical coverage he‘s gotten, but so does every president who‘s ever served. And quite frankly, every political leader who served since the time of Jonathan swift. We have a long tradition in the western world of criticizing leaders. And so the idea that you you get into the world of illegality merely by criticizing the president simply isn‘t the case. You know, the more he talks, the more he risks jeopardizing any of these cases because he‘s laying or helping to lay the groundwork for a lawsuit from Jimmy Kimmel or someone else about the fact that, you know, ABC was coerced into acting, or that nexstar was coerced into acting. And the more the president suggests that there‘s some sort of bias against the party, that action is being taken on account of the views that he‘s hearing that starts stepping into the realm of the First Amendment. So really, you know, he‘s making his own bed here. The more he speaks publicly."
