A new court filing has revealed “hundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemitic” threats made to Judge Arthur Engoron, who is currently presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York and trying to get the gag order he imposed against Trump reinstated.
Trump already violated Engoron’s gag order twice, costing him $15,000. An appeals court paused the order last week, citing Trump’s “constitutional and statutory rights.” But the threats have caused serious security concerns for Engoron and his staff, especially his principal law clerk Allison Greenfield.
One voicemail, according to an affidavit filed by court officer Captain Charles Hollon, stated: “Trust me. Trust me when I say this. I will come for you. I don’t care. Ain’t nobody gonna stop me either.” Another said: “Resign now, you dirty, treasonous piece of trash snake. We are going to get you and anyone of you dirty, backstabbing, lying, cheating American. You are nothing but a bunch of communists. We are coming to remove you permanently.”
In 2023, how are these threats not immediately traceable and punished? Even burner phones have to be registered these days, right?
There is a long history of law enforcement not taking threats of violence seriously, when they come from white conservative groups.
The Secrete Service might. As far as I know they take all threats to the president as pretty serious. But that only helps the president, not the rest of us.
Perhaps in the past, but at least as of a few years ago, the USSS was heavily infiltrated by MAGA fascists.
Carol Leonnig’s book Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service goes into great detail on how compromised that organisation has become.
That is because Law Enforcement groups and White Conservative Groups are the same group.
Considering what happened to the January 6th insurrectionists, even if they’re caught, they’ll get a slap on the wrist.
What? Many of them are in prison for over a decade.
I’ll have to find a tracker, but I think most of the insurrectionists received a very mild sentence, if any…
I think the only big punishment for them was taking away their guns since they’re felons now. Though I doubt that will stop them
Maybe the “regular” people, but show me one of the GOP members who has been put in prison? Especially the orange stain himself.
That’s not what the conversation is about. The Jan 6th insurrectionists are what we’re talking about.
Exactly, and who instigated, motivated, and coordinated it all? Where are the Turning Point people with busses to bring folks to DC? What about the congressmen who were tweeting the location of other representatives?
Again, that’s not who we’re talking about.
The cops and FBI are on their side, that’s why.
Hell, a decent chunk of the posts are probably from cops.
some of those who work forces, are the same that burn crosses
