Poor, poor Kathy Griffin. She hired lawyer Lisa Bloom in order to defend herself from that mean old Trump family who has been “bullying” her. I mean, all she did was pose with the bloody prop head of Donald Trump? Why on earth would his family get all upset about it?

Proud to announce that I represent Kathy Griffin. We will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning. Here's the details. pic.twitter.com/1FejPNGzoV

Oh, and in case you’re wondering where she found her lawyer… Lisa Bloom is the daughter of infamous ambulance chaser Gloria Allred.

This press conference was a joke. First of all, Bloom started off by calling Griffin “one of the funniest human beings on the earth,” so it started off with a gut-buster.

Bloom’s defense of Griffin is this:
– Griffin was offended on behalf of Megyn Kelly (Bloom is insisting that Trump owes Kelly an apology without ever mentioning Kelly’s name)
– Other male artists have done the same thing
– The Trump family tweeted out how upset they were

"Kathy has endured the most powerful man in America and his family using their power to target her," lawyer says https://t.co/T5uqoA85rO pic.twitter.com/y0iSiiyP9i

– Tweeting about Ken Jennings is also bullying
– CNN fired her because of the bullying (Bloom now calls her firing “censorship.”)
– The Secret Service has contacted her, so Griffin has *gasp* had to retain a criminal attorney

"[Kathy Griffin] never imagined that it could be misinterpreted as a threat of violence … that was never what she intended," lawyer says pic.twitter.com/VpSdvghfGA

Ergo, Bloom sees this as a personal attack on Griffin’s “art” by the entire world, spurred on by Twitter. Because FIRST AMENDMENT.

Of course, Griffin has a right to mock the president. Here’s the problem – ISIS-style beheading images aren’t found particularly funny by the Secret Service. You see, there is protected satire, and then there are implied threats. When both Keith Olbermann and Chelsea Clinton think you have crossed the line, then maybe – JUST MAYBE – you’ve crossed a line.

Griffin’s entire excuse was “I’m a offensive comedian, I just wanted to be funny, I admit I screwed up, BUT MY CAREER IMPLOSION IS TRUMP’S FAULT.”

Oh, and that Barron Trump was upset about this? That’s his parents’ fault for letting him see it. And even when confronted with her own quotes about Barron, Bloom’s defense was “she didn’t say that within her ‘art’.”

Especially since #KathyGriffin bragged about "beat down of Barron" months ago…she is the ultimate bully claiming victimhood-from Vulture pic.twitter.com/ozwtlzxC7O

And it doesn’t seem anyone is buying her excuses. And there are many, many excuses.

Kathy Griffin broke down, claiming that her career is pretty much finished. Well, she’s right about that. Good thing she’s paying Lisa Bloom so well to laugh at her jokes during this press conference.
