On Monday President Trump’s campaign lawyer and former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova said that fired Trump cybersecurity chief Chris Krebs should be executed for saying that the election was the “most secure in United States history.”

DiGenova, appearing on the Howie Carr show, which simulcasts on Newsmax, took aim at Krebs as an aside during a wheels-off segment full of false claims about how the United States election had been rigged.

“Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity [for Trump]. That guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot,” diGenova said.

This is not just a random Parler troll trying to get attention. This is an attorney speaking on behalf of the President of the United States’ re-election campaign. And while it may read like a macabre joke, the direct nature of diGenova’s comments make it impossible to interpret as anything other than a real wish/threat against a public servant for offering truthful testimony.

Carr responded to the statement with an awkward pause and a laugh and then changed the subject. Some shit is so weird that it even makes Newsmax people uncomfortable.

DiGenova’s execution wishcasting comes on the heels of a Krebs interview with 60 Minutes in which he debunked the Trump team’s outlandish and conspiratorial claims about the election. Krebs is a lifelong Republican who Trump put in charge of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which had oversight of election security. (Trump fired Krebs via tweet.)

In addition to threatening Krebs, over the course of the interview diGenova made ominous and false suggestions about “circuit breakers” shutting down on election night in multiple states, which allowed for vote fraud; millions of votes showing up in dump trucks, tow trucks, and vans without detection; and he called on state legislatures to have the “cojones” to overturn the results of the election.

In other words: Just a normal day for Elite Strike Force.

I predict violence will result from the lies and propaganda that Trump and his enablers are spreading.

The lies have to stop. It won't be long before some deranged Trump nut starts shooting people.

BBO referral anyone?

This was addressed in a number of threads, but you don't actually have to commit a crime or the like to get in trouble. Pretty much every set of ethical/professional rules generally bars conduct involving dishonest, moral turpitude, and as a general catch-all, conduct that tarnishes the profession. Saying "[that guy should be killed]" ought to qualify, if the relevant BBOs have any stones.

 

[Cardinal]

I can't understand why, with all these right wing wackos making death threats, right wing attacks account for the overwhelming majority of domestic terrorism. I know there's a connection somewhere, but I just can't put my finger on it.

This is ALL on McConnell and the elected Republicans.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

This is so sad. We can all see it coming a mile away.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

This is ALL on McConnell and the elected Republicans.

I agree. They have demonstrated nothing but abject cowardice. They do not have the spine to stand up to Trump and his propaganda.

Is this true?????

McConnell won’t speak until 1/6/21 at the earliest, when GOPs could oppose the electoral college results when Congress certifies them.

Stochastic terror and the cycle of hate that pushes unstable Americans to violence

Terrorism is rising in the United States—even as it falls around the world.

qz.com

From the above link:

Stochastic terrorism

Back in 2011, an anonymous writer coined the term “stochastic terrorism” to refer to “the use of mass communication to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable,” or, in other words “remote control terror by lone wolf.”

Stochastic means “having a random probability distribution or pattern that may be analysed statistically” but are hard to predict precisely. Vitriolic messages disseminated by pundits like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Bill O’Reilly will have the same effect as Osama bin Laden’s videotaped calls to violence, the writer warned way back in 2011.

Someone, somewhere, would react—it’s just hard to predict who and when.

 

[Parrish]

This is a dangerous game that 45 and his followers are playing. It isn't like taking the ball home when you can't have your way but more like blowing up the whole damn playground.
When are members of his party going to tell him to cut this crap out?

This diGenova person is an absolute pillock. It is highly irresponsible to say something like that on the air knowing someone listening might take this very seriously and act on it. Not to mention that executing someone because they made an assessment based on the available information is absolutely ridiculous. Trump hires "the best people" indeed.

 

[Parrish]

He liked what he heard from diGenova and his wife said on Fox and wanted them on his team until they showed up in his office all disheveled looking. They didn't mesh with his image but he'll unleash them to his corrupt purposes to destroy our republic.

In today's America we fight first strike wars against foreign potentates because, among other things, they issue fatwahs for executions.
Here at home however, it's perfectly okay for Republicans to issue them.

We Will see, some of the mentally deficient will probably act out and they will be stepped on like the bugs they are. The problem is the Millions that won't take that next step but support the terrorism. I can see some new terrorism laws being passed that addresses these forms of domestic terror, somewhere along the line the government has to step in and say enough is enough.
Always find it interesting that the same ones that say they believe in the Constitution and rule of law are the same ones that want to tear up the document and break the law, all simply in an attempt to install trump as our dictator. 2020 is not over yet, and 2021 may bring more fun for all....

 

[j brown's body]

He, and Powell, and that lunatic, Lou Dobbs, would be perfectly happy to see Trump seize power. How many millions of Americans would support it? Never thought I'd have to ask that question.

Board of Bar "something or other?"
Help a yokel out, wouldja?

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

No, what's "sad" is listening to thousands of people acting as if it's nuts to state that the Republican Party is preparing their base to go to war, actual war, with bullets.
Sorry, that's what they are doing.

 

[Mr Person]

Board of Bar "something or other?"

Basically, lawyers overseeing lawyers. Probably mostly retired.

MA: https://www.massbbo.org/

Say a lawyer doesn't handle his client's retainer or other payments properly, skimming when he hasn't earned it. That doesn't merely go to criminal/civil matters (provided he doesn't make good), it also goes to the board charged with enforcing violations of our ethical and professional rules of conduct. They can suspend a license. They can disbar a lawyer. There are more details.

Oh but the theory is eons old, great verbiage though.
I like it, "stochastic terrorism" and I guess several dozen psyops like that have been conducted out in the open around the world all through recent history.
It's just that we're slaves to a notion of exceptionalism such that "it can't happen here" and "it can't happen to us".

Yet more proof that we are saving this nation from a evil corrupt cabal that knows none of the boundaries of a free society. We are only halfway there though. We must follow through until every last one of these sadistic scoundrels are revealed for the monsters they are. And we half to find a way to deal with a situation where the cabal can just make things up and 45% of the country believes them instead of the truth.

it's like a Harry Clifton novel in which the bad guys are just so totally horrible that you can barely believe it.

The lie is that Biden won the election. So is the title you made for this thread. He is not a "whistleblower."

If Biden is sworn in incidents of violence are likely. If Trump is sworn in for a second term incidents of violence are likely.
