Comedian and actress Kathy Griffin has reportedly been interviewed by the U.S. Secret Service for more than an hour. The investigation is connected to a recent photograph which showed her holding the bloody head of Donald Trump.

Griffin’s attorney contends that the actress was just exercising her constitutional rights.

“She basically exercised her First Amendment rights to tell a joke,” Dmitry Gorin, a criminal defense attorney representing Griffin said. “When you look at everything in the media, all the times entertainers make videos or express themselves in other ways, you’ve never seen an entertainer, let alone a comedian, be subject to a criminal investigation.”

As we previously reported, don’t expect her to be arrested for the crude photo.

This revelation lead Obama ethics Czar Norm Eisen to tweet out this follow up question.

There is an exception for free speech that incites violence, but a judge would probably consider Griffin’s photo “crude political hyperbole.” With that said, the investigation is still ongoing.

Kathy is auditioning to be an opening act for the Dixie Chicks.

I heard she was so broken up they had to take her away in a waaambulance. sarc

I have mentioned this before, but it’s widely acknowledged that blame for World War II lies squarely on Hitler’s shoulders, and all he ever really did was exercise his free speech, just like ol’ Kathy.

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny..

[OKSooner]

Justice for this vile b!+c# is to spend the remaining days of her life as herself.

“She basically exercised her First Amendment rights to tell a joke,” Dmitry Gorin, a criminal defense attorney representing Griffin said.

Sure. I didn't see any humor at all, but we can call it a "joke",
And the photoshop of Trump at the wrestling match? Is that a crime against humanity? Is that inciting violence against the media? Or was it a joke? Because I laughed like hell at that one.

Well most entertainers in the past knew where to draw the line. When you show yourself with a beheaded current president you get a private interview with the SS.

Are you sure about that, Dmitri?

Poor widdle baby. Wah wah wah.

Lenny Bruce, call your office.

Curious the reaction should someone posing with a stone faced expression hold up a likeness of Kathy Griffin’s head by the hair. I’m certain the service wouldn’t be secret.

ISIS would do it for real, free of charge.

That must have been very painful ... for the Secret Service agents.

She sure seems to have changed her apologetic attitude quickly, if her lawyer’s an indication.

islamist facilitating filth.

[TLI]

Kind of a bi+ch when the de facto wimp Republicans that were the proglib comrats go-to for a bit of bullying fun and virtue signaling suddenly becomes a nine foot tall badazz and starts baring their fangs in your exact direction.

And Kathy probably thought she was going to get golf clapping everywhere she went...

She SHOULD have been ARRESTED!! If she had been a Republican doing that to Obama, she would have been.

Well, he did actually issue an order for his troops to invade Poland, didn't he?

I don't really see the analogy.

[SpaceBar]

Hitler did everything he did, with his mouth.
