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.”
I guess when the judges start dying, we’ll think about taking this seriously, but not really.
it also sounds like a few hundred people need investigating.
Yes but it’s hard to investigate right-wing terrorists when you can’t seem to take off these damn kid gloves.
Not to mention a lot of the terrorists being the the same people as the cops who would look into “it”.
Never forget “We have investigated ourselves and have found no evidence of wrongdoing” might as well be the motto of US policing.
Just going to leave this here… 🙂
Every Single House Republican Voted Against Investigating Neo-Nazis in the Military
Yeah, they are going to need those guys when they attempt their coup.
If the gloves fit, you must acquit?
Here in the UK we had a member of Parliament straight-up murdered for having the “wrong” opinion on Brexit and the whole shitshow still rumbles on. We’re in a very bleak chapter in history.
