DiGenova: 'We Are In a Civil War ... I Vote and I Buy Guns' (Joe DiGenova on Laura Ingraham)
CNS ^ | February 22, 2019 | Michael W. Chapman

Posted on 02/22/2019 11:08:02 AM PST by xzins

Commenting on the double standard the political left and the liberal media play -- conservatives are pilloried and leftists are coddled -- former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova explained that America is in a "civil war" now and that things will get much worse before they get better -- "total war."

DiGenova, who also served as special counsel to investigate the Teamsters and as counsel to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, made his remarks on the Feb. 21 edition of The Laura Ingraham Podcast.

During the discussion, Igraham noted how the left and the liberal media work hand-in-hand to spin and cover for wrongdoing on the left and yet endlessly attack the right. For instance, the leftist press constantly refer to President Trump as Hitler, Stalin, a dictator, a Nazi, Mussolini, racist, white supremacist, treasonous, disturbed, demented, bigoted, etc.

Also, the left has essentially forgotten the shooting of Republican congressmen by a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2017 and they largely ignore the death threats and assassination attempts against President Trump. They downplayed the anti-Semitism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mich.) and immediately rushed to defend Jussie Smollett who, as we now know, has been accused of perpetrating a hate crime hoax.

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats one for Republicans," he said. "The press is all Democrat, all liberal, all progressive, all left. They hate Republicans, they hate Trump."

"So the suggestion that there’s ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future is over," said the former federal prosecutor. "It’s not going to be."

"It’s going to be total war," he said. "And as I say to my friends, I do two things – I vote and I buy guns.”

We are currently in a Civil War but only one side is fighting. The other side is just being attacked.

From ANTIFA to attacks on police to false flag operations to the media campaign to dishonestly target and destroy innocent individuals, there is definitely a war going on.

White Christian Americans are being attacked every day. They are not fighting back.

“I say that if this President was illegally removed from office tomorrow their would be grumbling at best, because that is all we have prepared ourselves to do.”


It is quite possible that you are correct. However, it is equally possible that you are wrong. Why? Put simply, because any such plans would, by necessity, have to be kept in the fewest number of hands possible. Nothing could be sent electronically, because of the considerable resources and expertise of No Such Agency and other agencies and services. Unless you or I was in on the planning, there’d be no way that either of us would know if there was any plan...or not.

I do, however, suspect that there are a fair number (maybe 1,000, perhaps 5,000) of people who have incredible expertise in how to kill people (including important, guarded ones) and how to disrupt governments, who would not sit idly by while a coup was staged. They would view it as a war, not unlike what they experienced (or at least trained for), and that they would react accordingly - after all, as many vets indicate, there is no expiration date on their oath.

Up to the moment of birth?

Exactly. And now, with today's legislation in at least one state, even after the moment of birth. It is most certainly a turning point in the definition of "civilized", to say the least.

“There’s two standards of justice, one for Democrats young minorities, one for Republicans old whites,” he said.
There. Fixed it even better.

Fixed it even better.

Seth Rich would probably agree, if he could..........

I was looking to see if any one brought up Seth Rich before posting about Seth Rich. I agree.

I don’t know if we’re actually experiencing a civil war yet but it’s definitely moving in that direction.

The only thing determining when the civil war will kick off is the amount of abuse that regular Americans are willing to take. We are like the guy that has been slapped in the face not once, not twice, but several times, and we are standing there saying, "Boy this fellow is really making me angry. If he slaps me again, I just might hit him." Well, it really is up to us to decide when we're done being slapped around, but I guarantee the slapping isn't going to stop until we make it stop.

To Joe DiGenova’s comment above:

Amen, Amen, and Amen!!

This thread is going out to all my email contacts!! The truth needs to be heard by all who love their freedom, love this country, love our Constitution, and want our children and grandchildren to live in freedom. The Marxist RATs, Deep State, GOP Elites, Never Trumpers, and MSM want nothing but total power over each of us and want to destroy our future, IMO.

Thanks Joe, It’s about time we got some leadership from responsible people. I’m young enough to still be dangerous and old enough to know we’re in deep trouble. That combination will put me on the front line when the whistle blows.

Yes, it’s called conspiracy, RICO, etc — they’ve got all the laws on their side; so until the war goes all out, it’s going to be piecemeal; from there it might get into some Red Dawn scenarios (for guys younger than yours truly).

"In order for our side to fight back in any meaningful way we must first organize. We seem to have some natural refusal to do that."

We are too well managed to ever be allowed outright resistance - there's just too much uncertainty when it comes to open conflict.

I’d like to see a “man on the street” interview where the question was,
“What does ‘zero a rifle’ mean?”

Imagine how many SJW snowflakes would have any idea.

Meaning,
They Have No Idea.

That, and “What’s a 300-yard perimeter?”

Or, “What’s Rule 303?”.
