A Thread for Threats to Judges, Prosecutors and Others Connected to Trump Indictments/Trials

[essentialsaltes]

I have a sense there may be enough such stories that it may be efficient to collect them together. In the past there have already been threats to Alvin Bragg and the judge in that case. The Utah man who pulled a gun on FBI agents and was shot dead was first contacted over threats to Bragg. And probably several more in the past. But fresh today:

Texas woman arrested after threats to Trump judge Tanya Chutkan​

Abigail Jo Shry, 43, allegedly phoned the court in Washington DC on 5 August and used a racial slur in her message for US District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
[ETA: the criminal complaint related to the OP says she started her message “Hey, you stupid slave [n-word]"]

In the call, Ms Shry allegedly told the judge, who is overseeing an election conspiracy case against Mr Trump: "You are in our sights, we want to kill you."
Prosecutors say Ms Shry added: "If Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you."

She allegedly also threatened to kill congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a black Texas Democrat who is running for mayor of Houston.

[She also made more general threats against all Democratic lawmakers in DC and the LGBT community]
[Story also notes that Trump supporters have been revealing personal details of the Georgia grand jury members, and there have been social media threats against them and Fani Willis]

Tuesday — after Trump posted on his social media website that authorities were going "after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!" — Advance Democracy said Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts.

You stay classy, MAGA-world!

This all is going to be more and more evidence that Trump absolutely should be put under a gag order in regards to these cases - He physically cannot restrain himself from encouraging others to "go after" those that "wronged" him.

Well, let us see how many Christians take up using the term 'rigger', I think there will be quite a few.

Escalation of threats as indictments rack up. This from Business Insider.

 

[wing2000]

"So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people indicated tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney," the former president posted Monday evening on his social media platform Truth Social.

Trump has used words like "racist" and "criminal" to describe Black prosecutors like New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump and his family-run business on charges of fraud last September, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who charged Trump with falsifying business records in connection with hush money payments to an adult film actress.

"He consistently refers to any prosecutor that is investigating him or bringing charges against him who happens to be Black, he refers to that person as racist," Clark Cunningham, a law professor at Georgia State University, told USA TODAY.

Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis vs. Donald Trump: His defense? Suggest she is racist

Fulton County DA Fani Willis is the most recent example of a Black judge, district attorney or prosecutor bearing the brunt of Trump's verbal attacks.

Tom Hartman has an opinion.

 

[wing2000]

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that it was investigating online threats against the grand jurors who voted this week to indict former President Donald J. Trump and 18 others, accusing them of conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.


There are also reports of juror's addresses posted on-line.....

Officials Investigate Threats Against Trump Grand Jurors in Georgia

Some of the jurors’ identities have been shared on social media, with suggestions that they be harassed or made “infamous.”

Here's an article from The Independent. Fulton County law enforcement is beginning an investigation into threats made to jurors.

 

[jayem]

I’m reminded of an old saying among lawyers:

“When you have the facts, argue the facts.
When you have the law, argue the law.
When you have neither, pound the table.”

Donald Trump has neither. All he can do is make noise. Unfortunately, he has worshipers of borderline sanity who might just act on his lies and provocations.

 

[wing2000]

The FBI has joined state and local officials in investigating the threats.

“It is our policy not to discuss details of ongoing investigations,” the FBI statement said. “However, each and every potential threat brought to our attention is taken seriously. Individuals found responsible for making threats in violation of state and/or federal laws will be prosecuted.”

In addition to statements targeting the grand jurors, there have been increased threats against Willis and other county officials in recent days, according to a person familiar with the matter. The courthouse building has been the subject of repeated bomb threats, this person said. Most county employees have been working remotely this week.

This one's kindofa pre-threat.

Defendant in Georgia election subversion case was previously charged with assaulting FBI agent​

Harrison Floyd, one of President Donald Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the Georgia 2020 election subversion case, was charged in May for assaulting an FBI agent who came to serve him a subpoena to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington, DC.

Floyd threatened two FBI agents who served him the subpoena at his apartment in Rockville, Maryland on February 23 by running after them and “striking” one agent “chest to chest,” an affidavit states.

Floyd, a leader of the organization Black Voices for Trump, is charged with simple assault on a federal officer.

According to the affidavit, Floyd told the [police] officers that the agents “were lucky I didn’t have a gun on me, because I would have shot” one of them.

Someone, as an intended compliment I think, likened Willis to James Earl Jones' character from Conan the Barbarian, with the shoulder-length hair and stern visage, and I can't unsee it.
