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.”

His logic is that conservatives are being jailed and liberals are being protected from assaults and defamations.
This series of abuses is getting to where homicides might soon be protected. Historically, that’s been the step following protected assaults.
It’s been going on for years.
It’s a cold war now, but it will probably go hot soon.
THIS GUY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AG FROM THE BEGINNING!
It’s hard to disagree with DiGenova’s suggestion to vote and own guns to prepare for the worst. I don’t know if we’re actually experiencing a civil war yet but it’s definitely moving in that direction. The press has lost all objectivity, federal judges rule by their political whims without a regard for the Constitution, students are routinely indoctrinated, etc, etc.
And of course, "civil discourse" to a regressive means you have to agree with them on everything. So, Joe is right, the two sides are drifting further apart.
The Second Amendment, the ultimate check and balance....
Joe diGenova bump for later....
This is a stunning comment coming from a man like DiGenova.
Interesting advice, but we’ll get buried eventually if we leave our children in government schools. When will we wise up??
I don’t think he understands, the Left conspired with RINOs and Foreigners. They are now positioned to defeat us electorally forever.
There will be no civil war unless we launch one, and we simply refuse to do so. It’s nothing but South African decline from here on out.
Agree!
We had a 'perfect storm' fail in that department; and it cost us dearly.
God knows this; He probably sees some purpose in it via His infinite knowledge and foresight. But I am not seeing it.

This isn’t about guns or civil war. It’s about people challenging the Establishment when they continue to send the same people back to DC because this time they’ll do what they promise. This is about not sending back people like McConnell, Graham and all the others. Not all of these guys had/have primary challengers, but when they do, the challenger is usually soundly defeated. Yet, so many people will say that they don’t known anyone that voted for McConnell, McCain, Graham, etc.
It’s about not holding these people responsible or accountable. The $17,000,000.00 in sexual harassment payouts, using our money, is a prime example. I wonder how many loudmouths in Congress would still be there if that list were ever made public. If police records are public records, how come no one knows what actually happened to Harry Reid?
It’s about Liberals that have money, supporting policies that do not effect them. It’s about going to someplace like Virginia Highlands, in Atlanta, and moving in some 3rd world refugees and illegals with unaccompanied minors. Forcing them on those rich liberals and seeing how they like it. Lets see how hypocritical they really are, when they’re forced to live with the policies they support with their votes and their money. How about we go to the Toco Hills and Emory area and move in some muslim refugees from Syria and Iraq. Lets see how the very large concentration of Jewish liberals like their new neighbors.
The Left can round up folks by the thousands to protest anything and everything under the sun. Most of the time the protesters don’t even know what they’re protesting.
But, for some reason no one on the right can round up anyone to head to DC to show some support for the President. Can I do it? Nah. I’m a nobody, that just works and pays my taxes to support illegal alien kids in the local school district that I don’t use.
What would happen about a million or two, showed up one day to show their support for the President and what he’s trying to do? Imagine what would happen if those two million or so, did it armed and took a calm, leisurely stroll past the Capitol Building.
The Communist Party International spent years propagandizing our colleges and universities and then waited for generations to pass for the propagandized youth to graduate into jobs at news and media companies.
Now that this part of the plan is complete, it is time for their forces to go public and begin the drive to overturn the Constitution and replace it with one that supports collectivism.
This is when CWII begins. This is where we are now.
We are beyond the point of no return.
Trump knows this. Trump's supporters know this (even if they are still having trouble admitting it to themselves).
Our anti-Trump adversaries know this.
This is a cold war so far, but there is no going back.
There. Fixed it.
There. Fixed it even better.
The game plan of the Left hasn't changed in over a century: get control of the state and use state resources to destroy their enemies. Clinton's and 0bama's corruption of federal intelligence and law enforcement organs is a case in point and an indication of how close to the brink the country really is.
One fundamental problem is that control of media and academia has given the Left a very mistaken impression that victory is at hand, that they are now in a position to demand a "discussion" in which they are always correct and no one else has the right to speak. That's the sort of thing that tends to start fights that nobody can stop.
