Of course it is. It’s amazing that he is allowed to do this.
on September 25, Trump’s lawyer John Lauro argued against the special counsel’s motion for a gag order in the DC case, calling it “bare speculation that third parties might interact with the individuals President Trump comments on.”
…except it’s not speculation at all. There’s a long history of Trump saying shit like ‘somebody oughta do something about [x specific person, for y reasons]’ and then randos in his audience volunteer to do ‘something’ like mail pipe bombs to them, or make threats to them and/or their families.
You’re right on the mark, and or anyone who may not know:
Stochastic terrorism refers to political or media figures publicly demonizing a person or group in such a way that it inspires supporters of the figures to commit a violent act against the target of the speech. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.
The only lawyer willing to take his cases should be a public defender at this point. He never pays his bills and he’s in serious trouble. He’s gotten the shittiest lawyers money can buy at this point, but they’re still lawyers that actually think he’s going to pay them. Meaning they believe in his lies.

Sigh, his f’in lawyers. Yes, that’s the concept.

It’s the definition of stochastic terrorism.

I mean, it’s literally their job to do everything they can to protect their client from the legal system.
Don’t blame the lawyers, blame the client.
People who work for him deserve their forthcoming disbarments.
We’re not talking about Saul Goodman defending gangsters by enforcing the law.
How many of his lawyers have been complicit, prosecuted, and convicted already? That should tell you what kind of people they are.

So I do blame the lawyers.
