Trump campaign lawyer under protection following ‘threats of harm’
NY Post ^ | November 18, 2020 | By Bruce Golding

One of President Trump’s campaign lawyers in Pennsylvania was placed under official protection following threats against her, according to court papers filed Wednesday evening.

Philadelphia lawyer Linda Kerns “has been the subject of threats of harm, to the point at which the involvement of police and US Marshals has been necessary to provide for her safety,” the filing says.

The stunning revelation came two days after Kerns, a solo practitioner, sought sanctions against a lawyer from the firm representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar for leaving her an “abusive voicemail” on Saturday night.

Kerns also said in court papers Monday that she’d “been subjected to continuous harassment in the form of abusive emails, phone calls, physical and economic threats, and even accusations of treason - all for representing the President of the United States’ campaign in this litigation.”

Later Monday, Kerns sought permission to quit the case, in which Trump’s campaign is challenging his projected loss to Joe Biden in the crucial Keystone State.

If harm comes to any of Trump’s team, this could get ugly. The right is just “mostly patiently” waiting for this to play out. If the left fires the first shot, that whole “let slip the dogs of war” thingee could be a problem.

can someone get the name of the lawyer(s) who threatened her? I heard it was attorney(s) from Kirkland Ellis (a big time firm)?

Seriously

One of the most, if not the most tense moments in time that I have experienced in 52 years, regarding the country that is.

There is nothing to “discuss” about the coup attempt election steal.

But I do think that these ridiculous lockdowns have kept folks isolated from each other whereas before one would have even acquaintances on the other side and there was some form of discourse.

Not all dems are nuts yet.

But now there is no venting of opinions or constructive arguments.

Just people trapped home or at least given little options outside..just watching and listening to their side’s news and getting more wound up.

Our side is right of course :)

But with the lockdowns and the election theft and the lies about the virus...this country is a powder keg

Looks like I picked the wrong time to stop drinking until I passed out.

“Later Monday, Kerns sought permission to quit the case”

Which is exactly what they wanted. Good job emboldening them.

Is it really that difficult to trace threats like this?

I believe that after two or three of the criminals making these threats find themselves sentenced to 20 years or so without parole for terrorism and sedition this nefarious activity just might die down a bit.

It’s ALL straight out of the Fascist handbook. Bullying and intimidation of the opposition is ‘old stuff’ and unfortunately, VERY effective. The Fascists' political ‘style’ IS intimidation... Terror, bullying and everything from cold, calculated coercion to open challenges on ever-increasing levels. If you read ‘The Three Faces of Fascism’ (Ernst Nolte) it’s clearly and exhaustively laid out… It’s ALL been done before… Moussoulini, Hitler, Stalin, Peron, Franco….etc. People had their countries, their futures and their freedom yanked right out from under their feet.

Was FOXs early, bizarre, aberrant call of AZ a signal to start the cheat for Biden? (Crazy vanity)

The call of Arizona, by Fox, when made (9:20pm AZ time I believe) was so outrageous, so premature, so stunning that everyone was caught off guard and shocked by it. Could the call of AZ have been a benign, right-out-in-the-open way that the domestic and international fraudsters could easily see it and know what it meant (start the steal) while the rest of us were caught flatfooted, scratching our heads over it?

The country needs to start building thousands of gallows to hang these violent leftist thugs.

Then cremate the toxic bodies to prevent the spread of whatever nasty diseases they carry.

It was really similar to the 2018 early call of the House before 75% of the races were even counted.

She’d “been subjected to continuous harassment in the form of abusive emails, phone calls, physical and economic threats.
