Imagine being such a baby, you throw a tantrum because someone tells you you are losing. I mean come on, my child handled losing better than this when he was in elementary school and tried basketball out.
His mama should have told him to "suck it up buttercup" more often as a child.
The person with the law degree knew that it would be laughed at. They never thought they were getting anywhere with this.
The point wasn't to get CNN to retract a correct poll or go to court, it was to create doubt in people's minds ("Well, the president said it was fake and even sent a letter! He wouldn't do that unless he had a good reason"). Then the next time CNN says or does something, people will think "CNN? The same people who put out that fake poll on Trump? I can't trust them".
That's how the misinformation war is fought. It's the same story with all of the "fake news" statements.

One of those "My client has instructed me to state . . . " moments.
