Trump Threatening to Prosecute Us?!!!

By Ben Meiselas

We knew this would happen. As Trump gets more desperate, we always thought he would try to use his Department of Justice and FBI to attack Meidas and try to shut us down. Since MeidasTouch is not on terrestrial TV or cable TV, the FCC does not have regulatory authority over us. Since we don’t have investors, the SEC and DOJ do not have regulatory authority over us to approve mergers. So what is an authoritarian regime to do?

This weekend, Elon Musk published a letter from the top Trump federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., stating he would be investigating “networks” that covered and exposed Elon Musk’s team for seizing control of government agencies and people’s private data. Then, Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary stated she would be going after networks that exposed ICE raids and protected migrants. Trump is apparently livid at the coverage by us and others who have alerted migrants about ICE raids.

I received a call from a friend who is very connected with the intelligence community, who told me we are squarely on Trump’s radar as one of his biggest enemies. My friend told me that the Trump regime is worried that if they hit us hard publicly, it could backfire and cause our network to grow even bigger and more influential, becoming a rallying cry for the people. They are apparently debating their options on what to do with us.

It’s interesting. Trump sued our hosts before for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it didn’t go well for him. Trump tried to intimidate us in his criminal case, and that didn’t go well. Trump blamed us for his conviction in his motion for a new trial, and that didn’t go well. We’ve been involved in litigation with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she ended up paying us money, which we donated to gun reform groups.

I’ve been wondering when Trump was going to use his DOJ to attack us. I have an army of lawyers ready to go the moment he does, to take him on, humiliate him, and rally the people. Trump’s threats will not alter our reporting at all. If anything, it will only force us to be more aggressive and more determined to expose him and his crooked authoritarian regime.

I expected Trump to start showing signs of desperation. He is showing them even earlier than I expected. He and his regime are already talking about not following court-ordered injunctions blocking his unlawful policies, and now his regime thugs at the DOJ and Homeland Security are making threats against the networks who expose him.

Well, we are ready for the fight. I feel great momentum with the growth of the MeidasTouch Network, which continues to beat Fox and Joe Rogan. I feel the MeidasMighty community rallying in the United States and internationally in Canada, Europe, Australia, Mexico, and countries across the world.
