Mark Geragos, the lawyer who is representing Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid in a collusion lawsuit against the NFL, has been hinting all summer that there’s damaging information about the NFL that will come out of the case. But Geragos says the court is stopping him from letting the public know all the facts, which he suggested involve a conspiracy regarding President Trump and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
“The president tweeted about how lame the national anthem policy was,” Geragos said on his Reasonable Doubt podcast. “Then Jerry Jones came out and said they’re going to stand during the anthem. . . . The president then retweeted basically an attaboy to Jerry Jones. Now, I’m under a protective order, so I have to be very careful as to how I phrase this. But the protective order I take great offense at because I think basically it is muzzling me, for a variety of reasons. If I see a conspiracy that is violative of the law, does a protective order mean that I can’t talk about it?”
Geragos said there’s more he’d like to say, but can’t.
“I know what really is going on between Jerry Jones, the president, the anthem policy — why they’re doing all this. And they’ve already tried to admonish me,” Geragos said. “Whenever I want to talk about something that I think the public should know, that . . . this is a partisan political issue and I’ve got proof of it, but I’m under a protective order. . . . People don’t actually understand what’s happening behind the scenes with the Cowboys and the president.”
Geragos said he is in the process of trying to divulge the information that he believes is criminal.
“I haven’t decided what to do yet,” Geragos said. “I don’t think that you can put me under a protective order. . . . Why am I complicit in what I think is a crime?”
Geragos also indicated that he would like to make the deposition he conducted with Jones public.
“I’ve done a deposition that lasted many hours with Jerry Jones. I think Jerry Jones was one of the only honest owners if I could — well, I shouldn’t say that. I will say I think he spoke the truth,” Geragos said. “Is that a violation of the protective order?”
Eventually, Geragos thinks a fuller picture of the situation will look good for his clients, and bad for the NFL.
Patriotism “a partisan political issue” he says.
Yes, Americans figured that out a long time ago.
Trump’s fault...
COLLUSION!!!
If only all this nation's enemies were as stupefyingly dang DUMB as this lot.
/NAUGHT
Kaepernick should simply run for office. Its obvious he doesn’t want to play football.
Can anyone photoshop Trump sleeping under Krapernicks bed?
You know like the boogeyman. Geez these people are idiots.
Kaepernick, just a sociopath having fun.
From Russia to football...ANY LooneyLib failure is ALWAYS a “conspiracy”.
Someone on another forum suggested that his lawyer was playing him for a fool, just sucking all the money he could get out of him until he’s dead broke..................
If Kapernick(sp) wants to play and sit during the anthem, then he should buy a team and put his name on it. Ergo, he can do anything he wants.
Uh, the article makes no sense. The man didn’t sign on to the contract he had. He’s a mediocre QB with an attitude focused on other things other than football. Of course nobody wants to hire him.
Looking forward to see the lawyers contempt of court charges with a nice big fat fine. When you’re under court ordered gag order you also cannot talk about the gag order.
Or was this an NFL commissioners gag order similar to what was issued to Jones?
What’s Colon bitching about? He couldn’t even make the roster of a CFL team.
He’s taking a cue from his buddy LeBron.....................
I’m not sure he’s smart enough to be a sociopath. I think he just parrots whatever his girlfriend says.
Kapernick could probably get his job back (or at least A job) if he were to get on TV and APOLOGIZE to all the fans that were upset that he used the football stadium for his own personal ‘protests’ on company time.
He could promise never to do it again and remind other players that their right to ‘protest’ is 100% guaranteed OFF THE FIELD not while you are paid entertainers.
But he won’t - he seems like the type that NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME anything....
No kidding! I never knew that being oppressed could be so profitable.
Just another reminder that things like this are the Tip of the Iceberg for when these Leftists regain Power.
The Legal System is weaponized and any outrageous accusation is treated as worthy of the Court’s time, unless the Clinton’s and Democrats are the ones being “persecuted” of course.
