Trump Lawyer Marc Kasowitz Threatens Stranger in Emails: 'Watch Your Back, Bitch'

Marc Kasowitz, President Trump’s 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, read ProPublica’s 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: “I’m on you now. You are fucking with me now Let’s see who you are Watch your back , bitch.”

In another email, Kasowitz wrote: “Call me. Don’t be afraid, you piece of shit. Stand up. If you don’t call, you’re just afraid.” And later: “I already know where you live, I’m on you. You might as well call me. You will see me. I promise. Bro.”

The attorney should know better than to hand out threats.

against Trump or his administration. I do believe it borders on a terroristic threat in most states.

Leave a trail of threats that can instantly be linked to him.

But then again, he’s a Trump lawyer, so maybe you’d be wrong.

If there's an outcry, walk it back. "It was late. I've been working long hours. I am passionate about what Donald Trump is trying to do and sometimes my passion sometimes makes me use words not well chosen. I apologize."

On the other hand, if there is no pushback, ramp it up.
