Trump Launches Blatant SCAM COIN 3 Days Before His Inauguration! | Bulwark Takes – The Bulwark Jan 18, 2025 JVL: “Paramount or Viacom I forget who the parent company is with CBS is considering settling the 60 Minutes lawsuit and so I don’t know if you saw this but one of the ridiculous (not legal advice) lawsuits that Trump filed, there was the one against the pollster Ann Selzer from the Demoines register, one was against 60 Minutes for airing an edited version of the Kamala Harris interview and that this was election interference – it’s the dumbest ___ thing anybody’s ever heard okay and uh.” Tim Miller: “Yeah 60 Minutes edits every interview that they do, it’s the style of the 60 Minutes magazine interview.” JVL: “This what all television does right so but here’s the thing you and I – and I’m going to give Trump credit for playing four-dimensional chess – you and I looked at that and said this is so stupid look at this he’s going to get pantsed or we said this is so sinister look he’s trying to chill things and intimidate the media but that’s not what’s going on. What’s going on is that the CBS parent company has a perspective merger that is going to come before the Trump administration and so by having Trump the person, not the office of president, file a civil lawsuit against them, that gives them the opportunity to settle that lawsuit and to settle it with very strict non-disclosure terms to it, and who can say maybe that winds up helping their case for merger approval. Do you see, do you see what I’m saying here?” Tim Miller: “yeah we’re a banana republic is what you’re saying.” JVL: “Yes yes this is a ban but this is true innovation using civil litigation not for the purposes of intimidating or extorting people but like cooperatively with the plaintiff and the defendant working cooperatively to use that to transfer funds legally, totally legally, and to then lock that fund transfer behind an NDA so that nobody can ever see what happens, in order to then auction off core government services that’s again I – slow clap, right this is I am like Ron Burgundy I’m not even mad – you ate the whole wheel of cheese – I’m impressed.” (emphasis added)
My letter to reps.
Non Disclosure Agreements are too often to cover up wrongdoing, or even hide crimes. NDAs need to be curtailed. This is especially true for NDAs as the result of lawsuit settlements where the true nature of the deal may put others at risk, or constitute corruption, or present the appearance of impropriety for government officials and elected representatives.

I think we’d all be happier with a more transparent society that isn’t about backroom deals by wheeler-dealer powerful tycoons and corporations.
