Elie Honig: ‘Judges Do Not Like It When a Party Parses Their Words’ on CNN White House Access
RUSH EXCERPT:
HONIG: "I do you know judges do not like it when a party parses their words and plays fast and loose with their commands. And so, as Mr. Boutros said, there it was made clear that CNN‘s argument, which the judge agreed with, is there‘s been no due process, and you can‘t kick us out of the White House. And yes, you have to restore the the hard pass that goes with covering the White House. And as Brian just laid out, the pool is sort of inseparable from that. It‘s a little bit of a different function. But if you‘re going to represent the White House and be a DoJ lawyer and go in there to the judge and say, yeah, judge, I know we read your order where you said CNN has to be restored access and the hard pass, but we don‘t have to let them cover us. As the pool boy. I don‘t know if that argument is going to fly in court, but I think what our lawyers don‘t be surprised"
