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.”
Remember when hrc was lambasted for calling these folks deplorable?
I always thought she was right and she should doubled down.
She was proven right in polls about their attitudes soon after.
Unfortunately for her those deplorables vote.
Well, anyone holding deplorable positions was not going to vote for her, no matter what. All the pearl-clutching tone police seem to overlook that when they lecture her…
Perhaps, but I guarantee you some of them probably weren’t going to vote at all until she said it. Spite inspires a lot of weirdos. I think we’ve all learned that by now.
Unfortunately, being right doesn’t matter in a popularity contest.
I do wonder how things would have panned out if she’d won - I can’t help but think Trump would have been replaced by someone better able to overthrow democracy…
