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 hope they are doing their best to track each one of these terrorists down and throwing the book at them. All the better to have these thugs wrapped up in the justice system with trials, prison time, etc…give them something to occupy their time, esp. if some other big event calls them (like J6), they can stay away due to serving time or having to show up to trial, etc…
I’m sure justice will be as swift and harsh as it was for the January 6 insurrectionists. Which is to say, they’ll slow walk it and hand out insultingly minor sentences when they absolutely have to do anything at all.
Federal judiciary doesn’t take kindly to threats. Neither does the FBI.
I sure hope they start taking this all very seriously before the orange blob (or a proxy) is able to seize power.
They won’t
FBI is part of it but the us Marshalls oversee Federal courts, they’re not super politically biased and will fuck some people up if given a reason. Don’t fuck with the federal Marshall service.
