Take a step back buddy and layoff the ghetto trash 'gatewaypundit' right wing propaganda.
Unless you can prove that the video is not authentic, your post is pointless hot air. No one is surprised.

The voicemail, which has been provided to counsel of record from Kirkland & Ellis in this case and will be provided to the Court via email upon request, speaks for itself and by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”


i'm going to reserve judgement till i hear exactly what was said.

I wish there was a transcript of the call/calls in question.

Boockvar, in the court paper, characterizes the call as "discourteous", and the OP headline says "Trump's Lawyer's Life Threatened".

There's an awful wide gap between those two descriptions.

Linda Kerns, the attorney who is claiming harassment, says of the voicemail in question - "speaks for itself and by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”

I would agree, except the law firm then admitted the call did come from one of their phones.

I just think it's sad that people feel the need to threaten people's livelihood and/or lives over politics.

Think about it from this perspective... The original post in this article has a long and confusing title that says someone's "Life" was threatened like murder or something. No where does it say it in the documents linked. More likely the guy was told he will be blackballed and "life" would be ruined.


Why are misleading and dangerous titles like this wrong? The second post of this thread demonstrates why. The first post just feeds into the narrative of the second post. That violence is the only due course.

They are blaming an ignorant junior attorney who they claim has nothing to do with the case. So just a young overzealous buck with a lil case of TDS, but not representative of their firm.

Sad that what should be news is only treated as opinion
