Trump Team Backs Away From Lin Wood After Pence Tweets

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-team-runs-away-from-lin-wood-after-pence-tweets



Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood’s prediction that Vice President Mike Pence could “face execution by firing squad” for “treason” is prompting Trumpworld to once again try and distance itself from the Atlanta attorney. Jenna Ellis, an attorney for the Trump campaign, declared in a tweet late Friday: “I do not support the statements from Attorney Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution.” Wood blasted Pence after his attorneys challenged a lawsuit from Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, which sought to force the vice president to block the counting of electoral votes for Joe Biden when Congress meets to ratify the election.

...ranting about how armies that no longer exist are going to charge in and save the day, denying over and over that their cause has been lost even as the Russians surround them.

it's a sure bet the petulant man-child she works (probably un-paid by) for is all in and probably prodding Wood to escalate.

Jenna is a craven opportunistic coward.

They'll slip a knife in your back if they even think there's an advantage in doing so.

Something I was warned about by my dearly departed Mom.

To think, Jenna may have been on the short list for the SCOTUS not too long ago.

Not that comey barrett is such fucking delight, either. But, whatever. And I totally agree about them being dangerous. Sorry you had to learn it from your mom (of all places).

I would think the appropriate response would be to turn & sprint away like an action movie hero getting away from the bomb!
