Democrats are foot-stomping mad over CBS News parent company Paramount agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought against the network by President Donald J. Trump, and just like that, another hoax has been born.
This week, the company settled the suit brought by Trump over the alleged doctoring of a “60 Minutes” interview with Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris that aired weeks before last year’s election, deceptively editing one of the then-vice president’s loopy “word salad” answers about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make her look good.

The settlement, which clears the decks ahead of the company and its CBS News subsidiary’s proposed $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, sparked calls for bribery investigations from top Democrats, a desperate attempt to spin a rational business decision into a nefarious conspiracy centered around Trump, but taking it to another level by threatening Paramount.
This looks like bribery in plain sight.
Paramount folded at the same time it needs Trump’s approval for a billion-dollar merger.
I’m calling for an investigation into whether any anti-bribery laws were broken, and I’m working on a new bill to rein in this kind of corruption. https://t.co/xdkNpe75co

“This looks like bribery in plain sight,” wrote shrill Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a post to X. “Paramount folded at the same time it needs Trump’s approval for a billion-dollar merger.”
“I’m calling for an investigation into whether any anti-bribery laws were broken, and I’m working on a new bill to rein in this kind of corruption,” the left-wing harridan added.
Another Democrat senator vowed a Soviet-style response if the party regains control of the Senate in next year’s pivotal midterm elections.
Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today. https://t.co/G6gXLQa5Se

“Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote, inviting Democrat prosecutors to weaponize their offices to wage lawfare against Paramount.
The senators’ threats are the latest Democrat bullying of private sector entities that have agreed to settle with Trump. Earlier this year, leftist House lawmakers sent threatening letters to law firms that agreed to provide millions in pro bono legal services to conservative cause after being targeted by the president’s executive orders.
Legal experts ripped the dubious nature of the Democrats’ criminal bribery charges, suggesting that it’s just more hot air from the party of hoaxes.
“A lot of these things have a bribey feel to them,” law professor and former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason said, according to Politico. “These are the kind of things that feel corrupt, … but the term ‘corruption’ is far broader than the term ‘criminal bribery.’”
“You’d have to show a real explicit quid pro quo agreement,” he said. “Just the coincidence of timing is not enough,” he added.
“All criminal bribery arrangements are abuses of power, but not all abuses of power are criminal bribery arrangements,” former public corruption prosecutor and Democrat congressional hopeful Ryan Crosswell said, according to the outlet.
As Joe Biden once famously remarked to then-President Barack Obama, “this is a big f**king deal,” and that’s exactly the case with the Paramount settlement, which inflicts yet another blow on the Democrats’ ability to use their crooked media friends to maintain their false narratives, smear opponents, and perpetrate hoaxes.
Just another example of why the Democrats can never be allowed to retake power again, at least not until the party undergoes a wholesale purge of Stalinist progressives.
