Donald Trump’s personal lawyer “intends to apologize” after he sent a series of profane and threatening emails advising a stranger who had emailed him to “Watch your back, bitch”.

Marc Kasowitz, who is*advising the president*on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, sent the emails on Wednesday evening to a man who had emailed to tell Kasowitz that “it is in your interest and the long-term interest of your firm for you to resign from your position advising the president”.

Over the next half hour, Kasowitz responded with four emails – obtained by*ProPublica*– the first of which read simply, “F*ck you”, including the asterisk

A second email read: “How dare you send me an email like that I’m on you now. You are *********** with me now Let’s see who you are Watch your back , bitch” (sic).

Kasowitz provided a personal phone number and pressured the recipient to call him, writing, “Call me. Don’t be afraid, you piece of ****.”

In the final missive, Kasowitz referenced his own and the recipient’s heritage, writing, “I’m Jewish. I presume you are too.” He added: “I already know where you live I’m on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.”

That's some quite un-lawyerly language.....

Trump surrounds himself with the best people :rolleyes:
 
[enabler cavalry] So, what did he do that was illegal? I fail to see a crime here. This comes down to free speech. Do liberals want to throw away the first amendment?[/enabler cavalry off]

And indeed deny him a resolution involving the second ;)

IANAL, but I certainly see the lawyer's comments as a threat suggestive of violence. "Watch your back, bitch" and "I know where you live" may. have some ambiguity, but there is no doubt that they are threats most often used by thugs.
 
Not sure how popular cocain is with bigshot NY lawyers, but if I had to guess what he'd been using, that would be my guess.

Then again, we mustn't impugn the man's moral standing... maybe he's an aggressive a-hole without any chemical enhancement.

The recipient was so rattled that he forwarded the emails to the FBI:

Well, maybe not "rattled", but it's useful information. The fact that this knucklehead will start spewing threats at any provocation counts as negative information, the exact sort of thing that should disqualify him from any government position or from obtaining a security clearance. He basically showed exactly why he shouldn't be allowed to hear any sort of classified information, and exactly why he's unqualified to work in this realm at all.

Which would be a shock, except...you know...Toupee Fiasco...
 
Reminds me of children. One child will antagonize the other, then tattle on them when they retaliate. Not that retaliation is ever a good idea, but it's sad what politics has come too. He's dumb for taking the bait, but no criticism for the individual or organization presumably doing the baiting?

What baiting?

Why criticism of him? He made a reasonable suggestion in a reasonable tone to a national public figure. That's hardly an offense by any standard. The smartest thing to do would have been to ignore it, as public figures routinely do to communications from strangers. The next smartest thing would have been to acknowledge it by saying something like "Thanks for your thoughts," or have someone else send out a form letter: "Mr. K. is not able to respond personally, but he has received your note." The dumbest thing possible was to say "I know where you live and I'll get you."
