Sooo at this point, I’m sure you’ve heard about Acosta’s little White House situation.
Long story short: He was banned from the White House for his INSUFFERABLE behavior and treatment of an intern, then CNN decided to SUE, a judge then ruled his pass had to be reinstituted, Trump said he didn’t care but that he’d be instituting rules for the press.
It kinda seemed like it was all over.
It’s not. The saga has taken yet ANOTHER turn.
A new threat to Jim @Acosta‘s press pass. Details in tonight’s @ReliableSources digest: https://t.co/m15FvWWgI6

CNN just LOOOOOVES being the news.
So what is it?
Friday’s court ruling means that a temporary restraining order is in effect for 14 days. But W.H. officials sent @Acosta a letter stating that his press pass is set to be suspended again once the restraining order expires… https://t.co/yML7r7ymmM

CNN: “The White House is continuing to violate the First and 5th Amendments of the Constitution. These actions threaten all journalists and news organizations. Jim Acosta and CNN will continue to report the news about the White House and the President.” https://t.co/yML7r7ymmM

The White House is trying to establish a paper trail that will empower the administration to boot @Acosta again at the end of the month. CNN just filed new papers with the court to seek another hearing. More TK.

OHH BOY. This will never die. And Acosta? He’s LOVING every second of it. He’s FINALLY moved on from “reporting” the news (I’m using the term reporting VERY loosely here.) from BEING the news. This has very clearly ALWAYS been his goal.
