And yet all these people calling in threats will never face consequences.
Eventually they might.
Our justice system is ridiculously slow, so by the time this stuff goes to court, there's 100 others that have happened.
It might take years before court.
And if Trump wins, they could all be pardoned anyways.
Yeah, just like last time, when he didn't ghost pretty much everyone grabbing at his shitcaked boot heels. 🤣
He didn't pardon anyone for 1/6 because they failed...
If they keep him out of jail, and he shortly after assumes office, he'll pardon them to encourage it.
Imagine the chaos of 10 threats a day every day of every trial of a trumpet.
We literally couldn't investigate them all, and some would actually do it. Not a lot, but some would.
That's a shit ton of power for one orange idiot, and trump isn't quite dumb enough to not see it.
Fuck, I just hope he suddenly shits out his own intestines and deflates into a soupy pile of lard and makeup. Now would be nice, but I'll take next week, if not.
If they remain anonymous, then no. If any identifying information can be found, they will bring down the Hammer of Thor. This is one of those things that basically all government types will get behind regardless of political views.
So why is this?
Because half of the FBI are Trump Sympathizers. It is why a lot of the bs happening doesn't get checked when it needs to.

Half the judges too.
Well, we know for sure Cannon and Thomas are, and are willing to do pretty much anything they can get away with.
But Trump isn't getting everything he wants in court in most cases. The DC Appeals court is absolutely done with his bullshit at this point.
I don't think SCOTUS has jurisdiction over this trial anyway. Especially since it's now in the penalty phase, something Trump apparently hasn't grasped yet, which is why he wanted to give closing arguments.
And that's because a lot of them were appointed by trump because the Senate Republicans under Obama in his last term (when they got control of the Senate) held those seats open until the next Republican president was elected
Which they will do again if Joe Biden is re-elected. Although he has managed to get a decent number of judges on the Federal bench.
*If he's reelected and control of the House and Senate doesn't land in Democrat's hands
But these people are also very self-serving. They will look out for their own class, which is judges in this case. Even if they think that this particular judge is horrible, they will definitely back taking action to protect judges in general.
There has been evidence of this, especially during the police protests a couple years ago. There has also been a great deal of cleanup performed here. I don't think it's probably as bad or common as you fear, but I fully understand why you feel that way.
Because in some cases they are coming from out of the country and in other cases the call has been made via VOIP behind multiple proxies and a VPN and is basically untraceable.
In either case, nothing is going to happen in the same week that the crime occurred. It will take that long to investigate & determine if they can even issue a warrant.
The dumbest criminals do get caught.

You can pay a guy in another country to call in bomb threats using an untraceable VoIP number. It could reverb be a foreign adversary doing it just to stir the pot.
Same reason we get so many spam calls and the phone companies won't do anything about it. It could also be the CIA trying to get more privacy invading laws passed by stirring the pot.
Your logical fallacy is both infantile and uncreative.
Nothing is untraceable, just difficult to trace. There are logs in all the points bounced between and you can follow the trail back if you find the right bit of metadata. In the case of the spam calls, the FCC is working on it, but it's not as dire a thing as trying to kill a judge, so not too much attention is paid to any specific instance of a spam call.
The odds are very high it was a local MAGA dumbfuck calling from his office desk phone.
Is it possible to do it relatively untraceably? Sure. They absolutely did not do that. They are fucking idiots.
which is why the good guys should be doing the exact same thing. they think they can intimidate us. we should intimidate them.
Right-wing mass shooters get Burger King. Left-wing activists who didn't shoot anybody get murdered in their beds by police.
There's a reason why the good guys can't retaliate in kind to what the bad guys are doing.
Lemme guess, it was antifa not a well adjusted law and order maga republican doing it right?
That's crazy, though. No one mentioned anything like this at the last antifa meeting, and we talk about everything together. How else are we supposed to get half of our list done, across the country? The Illuminati and The Masons take notes, FFS. (And, drink all the coffee, the mooches.)
Exactly right... but if they don't drop all charges it'll happen again and be justifiable, because consistency.
Is it just maga yokels or is this Russian agents?
explain the difference
One is a set of fascists and the other is a set of particularly stupid fascists.
Which one is which?
Yes.
He should really have secret service protection at this point.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nassau County authorities on Thursday responded to a bomb threat at the house of the judge presiding over the civil fraud trial of Donald J. Trump.
A spokesman for the Nassau County Police Department confirmed that there was an investigation at the house of the judge, Arthur F. Engoron, who in several hours is expected to hear closing arguments in Mr. Trump’s case.
The threat came the morning after Mr. Trump again attacked Justice Engoron on Truth Social, his social media site, saying that the judge and the New York attorney general, who brought the fraud case, were trying to “screw me.” And it came just days after the police in Washington were called to the home of the federal judge overseeing Mr. Trump’s election interference case.
Mr. Trump originally planned to speak in his own defense at closing arguments Thursday.
But Justice Engoron said he would have to abide by rules that apply to lawyers giving closing arguments and refrain from delivering a “campaign speech.”
A lawyer for Mr. Trump, Christopher M. Kise, said that the conditions were untenable, and, after unsuccessfully requesting a delay because of his mother-in-law’s death, Mr. Trump appeared to back down from speaking.

They’ve already been threatening him and his staff since the trial started.
