Summary

Georgia poll worker Nicholas Wimbish, 25, has been charged with mailing a bomb threat to local election officials and making false statements to the FBI.

If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. The case is part of the DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force, which aims to protect election officials from intimidation and uphold election integrity.

    This is in GA, Cannon’s district is South Florida. I haven’t looked to see if there is a MAGA asshole in that GA district, though.

      Federal charge. Federal DA, not Georgia.

        Yes, and Cannon is a Federal judge in the Southern District of Florida. GA is divided into Federal District courts, too. They all are.

          There is a rumor that she’d be Trump’s Attorney General.

            Of course there is. If that happens, at least we can laugh whenever he calls her “General Cannon”.

            My money’s still on Hannity for AG, though, and Giuliani for Secretary of State.
