This is an actionable statement, it asserts a provable fact. https://bsky.app/profile/kenklippenstein.bsky.social/post/3lk36kpg4vk2h

Reposted from Ken Klippenstein

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman tells CNN Mahmoud Khalil "is paid for by a terrorist organization," saying "I have evidence." When asked by who, Blakeman replies: "Well, I didn't ask my intelligence division who exactly who paid for him."

I think we just saw a straw man argument.

pollik.bsky.social•53 days ago

Didn't ask his intelligence division?

Surely...that would be the first question on anybody's tongue??

junglebay.bsky.social•52 days ago

I’m tired of fools and liers

thelonewolf7.bsky.social•53 days ago

This is the trump administration. All lies with no facts

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just to be clear, a top U.S. intelligence official revealed that the Iranian government provided financial support for the anti-Israel demonstrations that roiled American college campuses and Democratic events.

What does that clarify? Be specific.

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•53 days ago

Are you asserting that Tehran did not help fund his and other efforts to help get Democrats out of the White House?

adamserwer.bsky.social•53 days ago

I am asking in what way does this article substantiate this specific accusation against this particular individual? Are *you* asserting Khalil was paid by Tehran? Please show your evidence, thanks.

kevinleecaster.bsky.social•53 days ago

It substantiates the congressman's claim only in that Tehran was paying protesters like Khalid. If you think he worked to put Trump back into office for free that's fine. I don't know if he just did it to harm Palestinians or if he was paid to do it.

adamserwer.bsky.social•53 days ago

Not a congressman, “like Khalid” is mere guilt by association, and the article does not even make the claim that the protesters at Columbia were funded by Tehran, and he’s Palestinian. It’s hard to get that much wrong in one post, but you did it.

grumpygizmo.bsky.social•53 days ago

And apparently that “fact” was not used in any warrant for his arrest.

terps3040.bsky.social•53 days ago

I have evidence! Ok it's more innuendo.

martijon.bsky.social•53 days ago

Nassau fucking County has an intelligence division? Certainly isn’t in this guy’s head.

booksartmusic.bsky.social•53 days ago

Idiot

maggietulliver.bsky.social•53 days ago

He has evidence of payment but doesn’t know who paid it, but knows that they are terrorists. What exactly is his intelligence division? His grandchildren playing I Spy?

annabusybee.bsky.social•53 days ago

Apparently he hasn't done anything illegal, according to the White House. They deport him anyway.

holdontoyourbutts.bsky.social•53 days ago

This man has rights. He's a permanent resident (green card holder). They cannot just revoke it without due process. Once again this is all show. It reeks of dishonesty to scare people. He has pro bono representation I hope? Hello? @aclu.org
@nilc.org

bubbaprog.lol•53 days ago

since when do county officials have intelligence agencies

partyglouberman.bsky.social•53 days ago

They have interns on X

grumpygizmo.bsky.social•53 days ago

New York city does.

scottwithrage.gobirds.online•53 days ago

"Intelligence department"

or

"Buncha off-duty cops who moonlight as goons"

jimsteele.bsky.social•53 days ago

"I seen 'im. He's brown. Pretty dark brown. Obviously a terrorist."

"My intelligence department says...."

notmylinkedin.bsky.social•52 days ago

Presumably he's referring to whatever the closest fusion center is.

notmylinkedin.bsky.social•52 days ago

Of course, those are intelligence agencies the same way a broccoli haired nazi with an llm is a government official

millienyc.bsky.social•53 days ago

Since he held Trump's umbrella for him, like all the other sycophants.

Laying the groundwork to falsify documents.

"I have evidence!"
"Can I see it?"
"No"

Never able to produce it!

elsargentogarcia.bsky.social•53 days ago

His intelligence division is his 42-year-old nephew that spends his day in a cellar watching Youtube conspiracy videos.

bbennettesq.bsky.social•53 days ago

Oooh, where are the excellent defamation attorneys now?

lexisterra.bsky.social•52 days ago

Lying damn liars! Mahmoud Khalil's illegal detention was meant to scare us all into submission! Fuck you ICE, and, especially, FUCK YOU trump! Elbows up✊️

jimneedscoffee.bsky.social•53 days ago

Libel attorneys are lining up...

oldsalt946.bsky.social•48 days ago

What kind of county executive has his own "intelligence division"?

johnfriedman.bsky.social•53 days ago

Probably not a public figure

adamserwer.bsky.social•53 days ago

he is almost certainly a "limited purpose public figure" now, but even in that circumstance this might cross the line

johnfriedman.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thanks much for adding the accuracy and nuance. I am very rusty on this topic.

rastapackermon.bsky.social•53 days ago

Defamation suit anyone?

betsynagler.bsky.social•53 days ago

Being emboldened makes them stupider.

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just a side note here, we are meant to believe that Nassau County has an "intelligence division."

Like, what's the point of even going to school if everything is going to be this stupid?

adamserwer.bsky.social•53 days ago

it's an extremely wealthy county so maybe it does!

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•53 days ago

Ok, DOGE can do one thing with my blessing

lfcnyc.bsky.social•53 days ago

When someone asks "Are you OK with anti-Semitism?" you know they have lost the argument.

lineofbeauty550.bsky.social•52 days ago

The county has an intelligence division? Do they have spies, too?

caroodles.bsky.social•53 days ago

What a liar. That’s what they do.

pnwhof.bsky.social•52 days ago

so will there be any action? that would be telling

chrisneyland.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yeah, but is this idiot judgment proof?

ronzonola.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yep.

fubarobserver.bsky.social•53 days ago

IDF? Mossad?

retinco.bsky.social•53 days ago

They don't care about proving their allegations. If they say it enough, it will be believed by those who are for massive deportations.

2theinfinitepower.bsky.social•53 days ago

seems like relevant information...

ijspurcell.bsky.social•53 days ago

He better hope Khalil never gets released because this straight up slander.

grueloflaw.bsky.social•53 days ago

A plaintiff (or defendant) does not need to actually be present at a civil trial, except perhaps as a witness where relevant (and even then, there are tools where they are unavailable through no fault of their own). I see no reason to wait.

reasonable-ish.bsky.social•53 days ago

Yes, it is actionable. If there was a Justice Department that would action it.

plmichel68.bsky.social•53 days ago

Exactly. What CNN should do now is have one of its investigative teams contact/visit whatever intelligence agency Bruce Blakeman is referencing to and ask if his claims are true. If yes, that's a news story. If no, that's a news story (and Blakeman should not be invited back on CNN to lie again).

justafrenchcat.bsky.social•53 days ago

Nassau county have an intelligence division?🤔

redwine59.bsky.social•53 days ago

I had no idea

peregrinekate.bsky.social•53 days ago

No intelligence evident here

justafrenchcat.bsky.social•53 days ago

None whatsoever 🤣

schnufflerowner.bsky.social•53 days ago

Also, he is almost certainly divulging classified information, asserting that someone passed classified intelligence onto him. Even if it is a lie!

kauaiarts.bsky.social•53 days ago

Shameless liars

leanab.bsky.social•52 days ago

Shouldn’t this be litigated in a court of law???

lfeatfan.bsky.social•53 days ago

Just another BS statement from a Republican still to slander someone who disagrees with Trump's policies. So the only way you can shut him up is to arrest him get him out of New York and try and deport him. That's what happens when you disagree with the king

contextmatters.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is like when Trump’s people were finding “very interesting things” about Obama while looking for his birth certificate in Hawaii.

nikedomelon.bsky.social•53 days ago

You'd think that these "spot interviews" could be done to tape and reviewed for truth ...

Before being BLASTED on live TV.

These spots are NOT BREAKING NEWS, they only serve as BS Propaganda and are never just chucked in the Bin, before air.

howlinwolfson.bsky.social•53 days ago
