Lawyers for Luigi Mangione, charged with killing UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive, are asking for details about a reported meeting between the White House and an executive with the insurer.
Lawyers for the man accused of assassinating the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, asked a federal judge on Friday to let them investigate whether the Justice Department and company officials have cooperated to “malign and prejudice” their client.
The request is the latest turn in a festering dispute that began after Trump administration officials said repeatedly that the man, Luigi Mangione, is guilty. The judge in the case has said the comments may violate her order prohibiting the parties from making statements that could affect Mr. Mangione’s ability to receive a fair trial.
“We don’t care if he didn’t do it, we gotta make an example of one of them”
I really think there’ll be a mistrial and trump intervenes and either imprisons or outright executes Luigi anyways.
I don’t want that to happen, but right now it’s the most likely way this shakes out.
I just hope if it does, it finally wakes people up at least.
“Never trust an Italian, folks, that’s what I say… ever see the Sopranos? I knew Tony Soprano. Well, not personally, but we were in the same circles. Big man, strong man, he came to me, tears in his eyes…”
I wish that this didn’t sound so plausible.
Yup, dumpf will call for a court martial or some other batshit insane “solution” and his enablers will try to enable it.
Huh, was about to say hell yeah, good on them. I thought I remembered seeing something weird about United Health and Peter Thiel earlier this year, but when I tried to find it, instead I came across this, which somehow completely escaped my attention until now:
Alleged CEO killer praised Elon Musk and backed Peter Thiel in social media posts
Luigi was antiwoke?
Other posts Mangione shared lamented “wokeism” in society, and he also responded to one post that claimed God had been replaced by people “worshipping at the DEI shrine, using made-up pronouns like religious mantras and firing professors for saying men can’t get pregnant.” In response, Mangione shared a link to an article from the Daily Telegraph newspaper in the UK which railed against an anti-hate crime law introduced in Scotland in 2021.
By the 1990s, the Mangione family owned golf resorts, country clubs, a nursing home company, and three conservative talk radio stations, sometimes sparring with city and county officials as the family patriarch, Nick Mangione, expanded his business empire.
It’s very rare that one person is right all the time.
Yeah, it’s just kinda weird that he’s become the face of the radical left if he believed wokeism was destroying America.
His family’s conservative radio connection seems especially weird. There’s so much that seems weird about the shooting itself, and him somehow getting away unnoticed in NYC after shooting somebody on the street like that. Then getting caught loitering in a McDonald’s in the same clothes. Idk kinda gives off patsy vibes.
I know it’s not very woke of me to judge someone based on looks, but… I mean… It’s kind of obvious.
That he’s antiwoke or a patsy?
Does it matter which one? It fulfulls both.
I guess it depends on what’s actually true about him, but if everything I recall being blasted about him is true, he would be an antiwoke bi revolutionary.
At this point, Idk why, but I’m always a little surprised when people support propaganda that at it’s core is directly opposed to their own existence. I guess it’s just easier to pretend the rules would somehow be different if the propaganda became policy bc you’re “one of the good ones.” Although, I guess that common error in judgement also lines up pretty well with how patsies historically find themselves turned into a public scapegoat.
If that’s the case, that does actually make sense, bc how else do you explain somebody being smart enough to walk away from a very public murder without getting caught immediately, yet writing a full ass manifesto about hating greedy CEOs, while somehow idolizing tech CEOs?
