Legal Experts Blast Trump Lawyer For Saying Krebs Should Be ‘Taken Out And Shot’ | Talking Points Memo

“And the way I look at it is that we are a nation of laws, and I plan to take advantage of those laws,” Krebs said.

A lot more of this should be going on.

The fabricated claims of election fraud have included accusations that specific individuals have committed thousands of felonies. These claims have not been based on any evidence or on any reasonable interpretation of facts. You can’t shame the people making those claims, but you can hit them in the pocketbook.

In fact, Ms. Tanden may be more nearly “Aryan” than almost all her Republican critics are.

NO Republican is pro-life. At best, they’re pro-birth. After that, you’re on your own.

John Dowd, a prominent Washington white collar defense attorney who was serving as Trump’s lawyer, resigned on hearing of plans to include them in their team.

Perhaps he was “only joking” about the torture followed by death by gunshot bit.

#DiGenova used to be respected.

They need a macro for this to cover any number of applicable Republicans.

Glad someone had the guts to file a complaint against DiGenova. He should have his license revoked.

This jackass is so sleazy he’ll probably pull out some of Donnie’s reactionary tricks when caught in something so grotesque, i.e. “I was being sarcastic” or “I was making a joke” or “Everyone knows I wasn’t being serious.” Disbar the jackass!

Call Ezra for Special Ops.

No reputable or respected lawyer or law firm will do Donnie’s bidding now. It’s about time he became radioactive. His lawyers now are trying to resurrect the ghost of Roy Cohn, they are that dishonorable.

History is going to look at all of this and scream - why couldn’t you people see that Trump was losing his mind and was an angry incoherent loon?

most insane circus of Trump’s life and he opts to put himself in the hands of a bunch of worn out - delirious, questionable judgment loons! -

Giuliani , 76 and two close friends of his: Joseph diGenova, 75, and his wife Victoria Toensing, 79.
… and crazy Sidney Powell 65,
… and perky & smartmouthed but legally incredibly lightweight Jenna Ellis (age 35-38 ?)

… so he puts his future in the hands of this band of fools …

Copied directly from this article:

“For anyone listening to the Howie Carr Show, it was obvious that my remarks were sarcastic and made in jest. I, of course, wish Mr. Krebs no harm,” DiGenova said. “This was hyperbole in a political discourse.”

Chris Krebs to Joe: “My lawyers are gonna get medieval on your ass . . .”

Once again the rich and powerful play by different rules. I’ve had posts removed for suggesting that someone be taken out and shot. Yet DiGenova gets to say that with impunity. Unless DiGenova loses his law license over this, the rules only apply to the little guy.

Let’s set aside the question of whether the death threat was serious. I don’t think it matters. The problem here is precisely the profound unseriousness of Donald Trump and his supporters. They don’t think they live in a world where real things happen, where bad actions cause pain and suffering, where it matters at all what you say beyond getting you what you want. They’re emotionally infantile and don’t see that there’s a world outside of them where what you do has consequences for people who have rights as well as you. They’re unserious. I think it’s the worst thing about them.

Law Experts should DEMAND Joe DiGenova’s disbarment, instead.
