Kathy Griffin is speaking out after
Donald Trump shared violent imagery showing President
Joe Biden shot in the head and hog-tied in the back of a pick-up truck. Griffin, an award-winning
Actress and comedian who received harsh criticism after her own violent imagery involving Trump when viral during his presidency, has been a topic of discussion since Trump shared the image, which has been referred to by some as a call for political violence against the president. Trump critics have pointed out that, unlike Griffin, Trump is under criminal indictment and running for president.

election investigation , wrote on social media. But now, Griffin herself has weighed in. "I would like Donald Trump to be put through what I was put through by him," she said on Threads. "He would crumble." She then continued. "Absolutely crumble. I, on the other hand, am in the middle of a FORTY city tour and will be playing Carnegie Hall in the fall." Griffin noted that she was "extremely grateful" to be "finally coming out the other end of all that b-------." "Because that's what it was. It was b-------." Former
New York Assistant Attorney General Adam Pollock said U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon was "stacking the deck" in favor of Donald Trump. On Sunday, Pollock told MSNBC's Alex Witt that special counsel Jack Smith would comply Monday after the judge requested jury instructions in a way experts say misstates the law and the case. "He has to comply with the order," Pollock explained. "He'll get an order back from the court about these jury instructions... Then he'll have an appealable order." The former prosecutor noted that Smith may appeal before a trial date is set for the case. "This is completely putting the cart before the horse," he said. "The judge is signaling, as she has signaled from the get-go, that she doesn't believe in this case, that she doesn't believe the case is warranted, and she's stacking the deck in favor of the defendant."

"He has successfully appealed prior orders from this judge to the appellate court, and the appellate court has, on multiple occasions, reversed this judge," Pollock replied. "I would expect that if there is an order on these jury instructions, as she's already signaling she is likely to order, that he'll go right back to the appellate court." Cannon, appointed by Trump, has faced reversal by an appeals court after initially ruling in Trump's favor regarding handling classified documents. Cannon, a member of the Federalist Society, was confirmed to the federal bench in November 2020 with limited experience as a lawyer. Her decision came into the spotlight after federal agents searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in
Florida, uncovering classified documents. Cannon agreed with Trump's lawyers to halt the FBI's review of these records until an independent third party could examine them. This move was met with criticism, including from
William Barr, Trump's former attorney general. The appeals court later overturned Cannon's decision, stating she had no authority to appoint a special master to review the documents. This ruling came as Trump faced charges for illegally retaining classified documents and obstructing justice.

That's what Trump's former special assistant said about the ex-president sharing a video that includes an image of President Joe Biden tied up on his side with a bullet hole through his head. Marc Lotter, who also served as a press secretary to Vice President
Mike Pence and then became president of a communications firm, appeared on
CNN to discuss Trump's latest actions.

That's literally what..." Former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA) interrupted him. "Your former colleagues at the
White House, people who've spoken out against Donald Trump, have gotten attacked, people sometimes show up and attack them at their home or threaten them, threats are made against them," Comstock said. "So this is a real..." "If we want to have a serious discussion about political violence, and I think we should, but... I would also remind you that you had the speaker of the house,
Nancy Pelosi, and a squad member talking about unrest in our streets. You had entertainers who've talked about assassinating
President Trump, blowing up the White House..." He added that "we need to talk about political violence on both sides, and when that is only attacked and questioned on one, it rings hollow." "We have not had a President of the
United States who has said he would pardon people who have attacked our Capitol
police and said he would let them free and we've had people excuse that. And that's coming from Donald Trump," Comstock said. "The host called it "two

Social Media platform, Truth Social, spurring glee on the internet. Trump, who literally directed one "happy Easter" post to those he "despises" such as "corrupt" prosecutors and judges in his criminal cases, wrote dozens of posts earlier in the day. One report on Sunday stated that the ex-president spent "Easter Morning on a Social Media Bender — With Whopping 43 POSTS About Judge Engoron, Jon Stewart and More." Political onlookers were also quick to point out the spree on social media. ALSO READ: ‘It’s on my ID’: Presidential candidate Literally Anybody Else explains legal name change Conservative Army
Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein said, "Guy seems nervous." The Shallow State said the former president "is having a hypomanic episode." "Post after post after post. Short posts. Reposts. At least 50 of them so far today. His gut is a simmering stew of agitation, rage, and desperation. His malignant pathologies rule him, filling his head with fantasies of violence and revenge alongside visions of regaining his grandiosity. BUT TODAY, THERE'S MORE. He has a NEW fear now," the group wrote. "He's losing his mind - his acuity. He knows it now. He hates himself for it. He hates being pulled back, not being able to absorb adulation at rallies. He hates hearing people tell him he needs to be careful. Neither you nor I can EVER feel the kind of desperation and rage Trump feels now. This is a man terrified that all that he is, and all that he ever said he was - his entire lifetime of secrets and lies and false constructs - is crumbling into ash. This is a malignant narcissist in decline." @7Veritas4, a parody page mimicking Special Counsel Jack Smith, also chimed in. "Happy Easter," Jack E. Smith wrote. "Captain Capslock is risen." Another popular parody profile, Spiro's Ghost, said , "This is not parody." "Trump just posted this 'Easter message' to cap off nearly *100* other posts and reposts replete with deranged levels of malignant narcissism and lunacy," the account wrote on Saturday. "ANYONE who still supports this utterly unhinged maniac is as depraved as he is—there are just no words." CONTINUE READING Show less
