Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.

A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.

    A great example of how his followers just want to blow up and maim anything and everything that gets in their way…

      I wonder what’s going to happen when the swath of impeachments going on fails.

        They have no intention of following through on any of them, it’s all theater for the base to distract from Trump’s legal troubles. What the GOP do when their anti-Christ is sentenced should be interesting, do they just drop and distance from him, or do they choose a “disciple” to carry on his evil deeds and speak for him?

          They have no intention of following through on any of them, …

          That is probably true, but it’s elementary for them to say, “The rADiCaL LEfT has once again prevented us from rightfully removing these evil and corrupt officials from power!” (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, swatting and bomb threats at least)

            It’s all they got, they have absolutely no platform that any of them can agree upon anymore. It’s divide the country and confuse the base so they don’t catch on, and then grift like it might all end when Trump is convicted.

          He’s not getting sentenced for this, it’s a civil trial to assess damages. His business presence in NY will get sold off to pay the debt, and he’ll have to resort to grifting his political contributors to keep up his lifestyle.

            Correct, this one is civil and no charges, but I was talking overall when he is convicted in one of the criminal trials. And the GOP is using the fake impeachments/Hunter to distract from all of it, the criminal is going to put him away, but I feel like he is going to be fined BIGLY in NY and then almost certainly lose his appeal.
