Yeah, I think calling that a journalist is going a bit too far. But that'll still be an interesting entry in the ol' presidential library.
You know who represents CNN as an institution? Their journalists.
And there are arms and legs flailing underneath the CNN logo....

Prosecutors obtained a search warrant for the records in July and are now asking a federal judge to force the company to turn over the information.
The warrant includes "all files" in DreamHost's possession, as well as information on "subscribers" to distruptj20.org and information on those who "participated, planned, organized, or incited" the January protests.

I'm at least 40% confident that the president of the United States is appealing to a well-armed, angry fringe group that he knows will rush to defend him because he'd rather start a civil war than be impeached.
