Marc Kasowitz, President Trumps personal attorney on the Russia case, threatened a stranger in a string of profanity-laden emails Wednesday night.

The man, a retired public relations professional in the western United States who asked not to be identified, [link:https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-russia-lawyer-marc-kasowitz-alcohol-security-clearanceread ProPublicas] story this week on Kasowitz and sent the lawyer an email with the subject line: Resign Now.

Kasowitz replied with series of angry messages sent between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern time. One read: Im on you now. You are fucking with me now Lets see who you are Watch your back , bitch.

In another email, Kasowitz wrote: Call me. Dont be afraid, you piece of shit. Stand up. If you dont call, youre just afraid. And later: I already know where you live, Im on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.

1. Like father, like son, like lawyer. Or, birds of a feather.

[Tanuki]

2. E-mailing under the influence

".....Past and present employees of the firm said in interviews that Kasowitz has struggled intermittently with alcohol abuse, leading to a stint in rehab in the winter of 2014-15.

Several people told ProPublica that Kasowitz has been drinking in recent months. (The vast majority of those who spoke to ProPublica for this article declined to be quoted by name, citing Kasowitz’s penchant for threatening lawsuits.)"......(more)

4. Typical Trumpist

He's a thug just like his client. I bet he'd cower like a cornered hyena if that man confronted him in person.

[DonViejo]

14. Yes, it's in the body of the OP. Thanks for the heads up, I forgot to include it

[Ligyron]

9. Somebody needs to send that screen capture to the NY Bar.

I guess that's where he's based? That or Conn.

[Tarc]

10. Aren't there ethics provisions in the American Bar Association?

Perhaps something like this is grounds for punishment, suspension?

[Gothmog]

12. This man is evidently have issues with alcohol

[whistler162]

33. Which one or do you mean both.

[pecosbob]

13. Do these guys all read the same playbook or what?

Sounds like something Roy Cohn would have done. Getting tired of having the rat-f*ckers in charge. Really getting tired of all those that believe that the end justifies the means.

[riversedge]

19. Bunch of thugs surround Trump!!

[Hekate]

15. Thug. Gangster.

[Judi Lynn]

16. What a lovely man.

[psychopomp]

spit cup as dippty-doo when he combs his hair.

[jeffreyi]

[Solly Mack]

30. Heh!

Oh, yeah. Top shelf.

[Julian Englis]

22. Must have sobered up--CNN reports he apologized

Link to tweet

"In a statement to CNN, Kasowitz's spokesman Mike Sitrick said, 'Mr. Kasowitz, who is tied up with client matters, said he intends to apologize to the writer of the email referenced in today's ProPublica story. While no excuse, the email came at the end of a very long day that at 10 p.m. was not yet over.'

"The person sending that email is entitled to his opinion and I should not have responded in that inappropriate manner," Kasowitz himself said in that same statement. 'I intend to send him an email stating just that. This is one of those times where one wishes he could reverse the clock, but of course I can't.'"

24. Kasowitz is and always has been a garbage person

Trash is fucking trash, no matter the price of the suit.

[Paladin]

36. He's put his law licence in jeopardy. That's why he's crawling on his belly, now. (nt)

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. As somebody who likes his beer, I gotta say that this dude is three sheets to it

A 65 year old man writing those emails at 10pm? That's not ordinary drunk. That's "I have a super problem" drunk.

The caliber of people around Trump is really amazing. If the Trump voters wanted to show everybody what it would look like if the executive branch was truly filled by trash, they've well and truly succeeded.

[Doug the Dem]

25. In the end,

we'll see who the "bitches" really are. I suspect Messrs. Kasowitz, Kushner, Trump, Trump and Manafort will NOT like the identification!

[Gothmog]

26. Rachel did a great job on this issue

[BigmanPigman]

27. They each dig their holes deeper and deeper. Their stupidity has no bounds anymore.

In fact the only ones close to their level of intelligence are the idiots who voted for them and would vote for them again.

[raven mad]

28. The sTrumpet continues to surround his wide load

with "classy" people..............

[gldstwmn]

31. What is wrong with

these people?

[VermontKevin]

32. I'm going to suggest preventive anger management and rehab before the NY State Bar comes a 'callin.

[Sancho]

35. On CNN...commentator said, "I've been tempted to go full-Kasowitz before too"

...sounds like a new word for the Urban Dictionary to me....

[Honeycombe8]

37. This is the kind of people we have IN the W.H. & representing the W.H. Thugs, all of 'em.

THUGS. Like the mob. Disgusting.

[leftyladyfrommo]

38. Good Christian Thugs.

Who knew there were so many of them.

[sprinkleeninow]

39. No kidding. eom

[leftyladyfrommo]
