[brettdale]

For doctoring a video of Jim Acosta??

1. This is a crime where?

[brettdale]

2. She dcotored a video

To make it look like a Journalist committed assault, when they hadnt.

That has to be a crime.

5. It wasn't submitted as some sort of legal document anywhere -- it was propaganda

It's probably a civil case at best, In My Not a Lawyer Opinion.

6. Nope.

Not unless she's presenting it someplace in which lying is criminal. Doing so in a tweet isn't one of those limited forums.

7. Do you need a license to doctor a video?

I’ve seen one where a cat drives a car!

Just off the top of your head, who was the last person you remember being arrested for doctoring a video?

9. Yup, it's called falsifying evidence of a crime (a supposed assault).

4. You're faster than me tonight.

Probably a hint I should just give it up and grade essays. . . . if I'm lucky, one of the essays will point out the jurisdiiction in which doctoring the video of Jim Acosta is a crime.

3. She didn't doctor it; she got it from Infowars.

Not sure what the crime would be, though.

8. She SHOULD be arrested...

...for being an asshole, which is also tragically legal.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Lock her up! Lock her up!

[Raine]

15. If everyone whose an asshole

was arrested we would run out of places to put them within a matter of minutes.

11. She needs a damn good whacking

As the Beatles would put it.

12. That isn't a crime. It falls under free speech.

It is possible she could be sued for libel.

[Meowmee]

13. I think it is falsifying evidence for whoever did it if there are charges

And slander/ libel also for those who know it was doctored and who are promoting it. I think Acosta can sue for slander although it just shows that woman grabbing his microphone as far as I can tell. Good question though, I wonder how long these people will be allowed to lie, propagandize and slander with no repercussions.

14. She Committed Fraud on the American public. Best step down.
