NEW: A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze federal funds. Then the harassment began. Pizzas sent to his home in the name of Judge Esther Salas’s murdered son, Daniel. Six credible threats to his life. More than 400 “vile” calls to his chambers—including this voicemail:
The voicemail was played aloud during an event hosted by Speak Up for Justice. The recipient—U.S. district judge John McConnell—publicly detailed the harassment he has endured in recent months. “It’s the one time that actually shook my faith in the judicial system and the rule of law,” he said.
We have a massively funded new police force, maybe they could expend some effort protecting those who defend justice. Only problem is they respond to Trump, and he has no interest in that.
Most of those officers are loyal to Trump. BLM tried to warn y'all! Your conservative neighbors, bosses, family members will be the ones turning you into Trump's SS when the time comes White people let evil rot amongst their friends and family for so long, and now y'all's friends/family are Nazis
Nuremberg trials saw a German Judiciary/Justice system hide behind, we were only following German Law. Why? They were intimidated and replaced with loyalists! US 2.0 fascism.
And Nazism didn't rise among "the government," it lived within the hearts and minds of ALL conservative German citizens! Your conservative friends and family members will be the ones who turn you onto ICE when the time comes, watch.
WTF?
At the event, McConnell was joined by several fellow members of the federal judiciary—marking a rare instance in which sitting judges publicly address the threats and harassment they have faced.
This also happened a lot w Judge Xinis
Maybe Clarence and Alito could join and discuss their support?
Lmao
Judge Robert Lasnik said he also received pizzas that were sent under the name of Judge Salas’s murdered son “Two of my adult kids, who live in other cities on the West Coast, received pizzas that they did not order, and we received one at our home in Seattle. All three were in the name of Daniel.”
Hunt down the MAGAs that did this. @vanhollen.senate.gov @democraticags.bsky.social
So sick!
Such sick people.
Why can’t people just be normal! Where are all the normal people FFS 😭
Surprising how many vicious hateful evil and cruel humans live in this country. I was totally unaware!
Mob behavior is being promoted and rewarded by the highest levels.
Sick
To Judge Lasnik, the message was clear: “We know where you live, we know where your children live, and they could end up dead like Judge Salas's son did. That's a pretty cruel thing to do,” he said.
And Kash Patel’s FBI is going to get right on that… oops he doesn’t care about terrorism that supports Trump
Heartbreaking.
Jesus!! I hope they get these people! Somehow the people that put in the orders had to pay. I hope someone gets their asses before someone else ends up dead! Scary!
This also sounds organized. Not just lone wolves.
"Stochastic terrorism" is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual... stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.
Judge John C. Coughenour, who in February blocked Trump’s executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, said that he and his wife had been “swatted.” “The local sheriff's office received a call saying that I had murdered my wife, and they arrived at my house with weapons drawn,” he said.
The local sheriff could've called the judge and checked before invading his home with a posse, but he didn't feel like it.
Very typical sheriff behavior
I thought that, too. Do these judges have to go to every pizza parlor in town and tell them not to deliver at their addresses?
What would you say to a sheriff who received a report that a man murdered his wife & the sheriff decided to call the man before responding? To ask what? “Did you just murder your wife? No? Ok, goodnight.” I am no defender of LEOs, but the problem with swatting is it puts them in a terrible situation
You make good points but it would be odd if he and the sheriff didn't already know each other.
He is a federal judge. They might not know each other. And that doesn’t really change anything - the sheriff’s department still needs to take the call seriously.
Yes, they do, and I did see the stupidity of calling up officials when they are accused of crimes but cops need to be more savvy about swatting before more people are killed. I know they don't want to be party to murder. Judges are harassed a lot and the sheriff knows that.
They should probably take such calls seriously by being aware that swatting is a frequent problem and that there is a substantial likelihood that they are being made a party to a conspiracy to murder a federal judge. But, you know, that might not let them pull out the tacticool equipment.
In every post please include a reference to the Epstein Files
Amerikkka.
Judge Coughenour continued: “Looking back at what happened in Germany, my good friend Judge Lasnik said, ‘Where were the judges? Where were the lawyers?’” “We need a call to action in this country from our lawyers and our judges to say ‘not in our country, not on our watch,’” he said.
We are there, at the 'murdering judges and other elected officials' stage, but by weaponized psychologically vulnerable people. Avoiding the 'nothing to see here' stage requires accurate and public documentation, not sympathetic coroners calling deaths 'accidents', because that's the transition.
Where are they? Taking checks from compliant white shoe law firms
Will Roberts and crew be willing and able to stop this madness?
Able? Maybe Willing? Probably not
Maybe they could, but sure doesn’t look like they have any desire to do so. But interesting to think of district court judges rising up. These folks are brave. I only hope there are many others as well
Nope
Based on this, I think we know why SCOTUS is rolling over.
Not likely, given that their rulings instigated this madness, and they cannot acknowledge it in any way without shredding the shared reality of the right wing universe they inhabit.
This is what fascism and intimidation sounds like. JFC - Just horrific stuff to listen to! I hope this person is found and prosecuted. Dump has turned this country into a hateful place. My god.
As a matter of fact, the Nazis went after judges and lawyers early into Hitler’s chancellorship. Many were beaten to death by brownshirts. Others were imprisoned if they tried to oppose Hitler. Most of those who weren’t beaten or arrested decided to toe the line.
The judges and lawyers were conservative and paved the way for the Nazis. Sort of like a lot of them are doing now.
Please share this
I understand how scary it is, but our lawmakers and judges need to stop cowering in fear of right-wing harassment and instead use this as inspiration to crack down on Trump's lawlessness even further.
They should deal with Trump and his thugs like with Al Capone and his mafia. They are absolutely the same
LITERALLY the same
Capone at least had the civic consciousness to fund soup kitchens. They're not the same, because Trump and thugs are worse.
Putin will send kitchens instead. Military ones.
Sure, and they need the support of the public too. I just wish I had a solid way to provide it.
@50501movement.bsky.social @5calls.org
The biggest issue, which these judges did not point out, is that the Supreme Court majority is part of the problem.
There are plenty of lawyers and judges saying exactly that. Unfortunately, there are six judges on the supreme Court that are all in for the Nazis to be in power and their names are Alito, Kavanaugh, Roberts , Thomas, Coney-Barrett, and Gorsuch.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." --Dick the Butcher, Henry VI Part 2
I recently re-watched Judgment at Nuremberg. It it too asks: where were the judges?
For those who would like to watch it, it’s an excellent movie. youtu.be/J1LLDr-BoRs?...
SS and Gestapo were untouchable like ICE and KGB now
The federal judiciary (with 6 exceptions at the top) has been nothing short of heroic in standing up for the rule of law. They can't do it alone. A quarter of the population is contemptuous of the law; another 40% or so is willing to rationalize or look the other way. Judges alone can't fix that.
A fair point. There have been other exceptions, but I imagine Judge Cougenhenour would agree that many have acted with integrity and courage.
There are a lot that are complicit~~
It doesn't help when over half of the highest court in the land seems pretty cool with the current state of affairs (while simultaneously having the audacity to call themselves "originalists")
Judge Esther Salas also spoke at the event, choking back tears as she reflected on the 5-year anniversary of her son Daniel’s murder by a man who had appeared before her in court. She described the pain of hearing how Daniel’s name has been “weaponized” to intimidate other judges.
Judge Salas called on “political leaders from the top down” to “stop fanning these flames.” “Stop demonizing us, stop villainizing us, because what they're doing when they do that irresponsible rhetoric is they are inviting people to do us harm,” she said.
SCOTUS too. The high Court has belittled district courts in its shadow docket reliefs it provided to Donald's regime. youtu.be/Pq1fSsJJzc4
Judge Salas should work at the new york times. Bothsiderism to disguise what's actually happening. "Political leaders from the top down" is categorically misleading
GTFOOH, shithead.
Sweet fuck, sort yourself out, what the hell?
@skyview.social unroll
There's only one problem with the outrage. It lets them know the idea to harm you and others stochastically by egging on any inflamed follower to kill you or your family is working. These acts are no accident or mere Republican stupidity. It's a deliberate plan. Now what?
The cruelty of bullies never abates just because you don’t react
“The facts are that we have political leaders with large social platforms—political leaders with power, right?—calling us ‘deranged’ and ‘idiots,’” Judge Salas said. “That is the inflammatory rhetoric that I think caused the judges that are on here today to come forward.”
@unroll.skywriter.blue Unroll please, thxs
Bone chilling. Thank you for speaking up for justice. How difficult with this corrupt mob in the White House.
@unroll.skywriter.blue
Until these officials have the courage to call out Trump BY NAME then I'm not holding my breath. There is one person behind the inflammatory rhetoric. It's him, stop pulling punches on the Turd.
Remembering the waning days of the 2024 race when Repubs trolled Dems with calls to ToNE dOwN tHe RhEToRiC. When Repubs lied that Biden called Trump supporters garbage, and that it put their lives in danger(!). And of course the old 8647 scandal. Repubs are truly a violent, domestic terrorist cult.
Americans are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism or communism. Our advantage is that we learn from their experience. Now is a good time to do so. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.
We have ONE political leader doing it, the rest are following and getting greased by crypto to do it, ask them
Thank you, Anna.
Thank you for this compelling account of this appalling pattern.
They should make a formal appeal to Roberts, he literally has thrown them all under the bus, @judgeluttig.bsky.social has been furious with him over that! "UNFORGIVABLE"!
With the psychopath-in-charge and his ever-growing brainwashed team implementing their Project 2025 agenda: ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, it’s hard to imagine how this is able to end without a coup d’état.
Before DT, most of the people making these threats didn’t even know a single judge’s name, unless it was Judge Judy🤬
Meanwhile Chief Justice John Roberts...
This is MAGA. If people can blame any random activist on the internet on the Democratic party, then MAGA has to own the freaks that send death threats to judges for upholding the law against Trump's administration.
Maybe the Judges should be asking the Supreme Court Justices, especially Chief Justice John Roberts, what they will do to stop the threats and intimidation.
None of this will stop no matter how you explain or plead your case of safety until Trump is gone. It is a fact. Trump's thrill in life is getting even with people he dislikes. Trump is a man with no morals, no values, no principles. He has surrounded himself with the same kind of people.
this will only embolden them
So start finding these assholes in contempt and throwing them in the brig. Without food and water like they're holding every brown person they come across. Quit whining and take action.
When the Supreme Court undercuts its own judges, striking down their authority in a case where they refused to even opine on the merits, handing a victory to Trump...it has lost its way.
Well they aren't going to stop, so fucking so something about it. The lack of consequences is why they keep doing it, so write up some fucking arrest warrants or whatever you need to so that you can start putting these idiots in jail.
"Politicial leaders" Democrats dont incite violence against judges. Thats Republicans.
Attention, Pamela Jo Bondi.
Bondi will do nothing.
💔😭💔 That's so horrible!
💔💔💔
The cruelty...
Thank you for posting. It’s SO crucial. I had the privilege of also hearing Judge Salas speak of this. We must protect the bravest / most principled / most vulnerable among us!
Tragic
It will never happen because they are mostly cowardly chicken shits
I feel rage that this is happening to them and HOPE bc ppl with power are speaking the fuck up. US District Court judges may lead the resistance. I’m so here for it. Thank you for posting this!
Maybe judges Coughenour and Salas should have a talk with John Roberts and Clarence Thomas, for starters.
If people studied more about people's behavior in Germany before the war, they'd be much more worried about what's happening here. Makes my blood run cold.
I find it hard to believe that they can't trace these swatting calls. I'll bet if an 'illegal' called it in ICE would be at his side arresting him before he ended the call.
I've recently been rereading accounts of The Night of the Long Knives. I don't know that we are there yet or will necessarily get there, but I strongly recommend brushing up on that particular chapter. That was the moment of transition. The moment that sealed Germany's fate.
The night of long knives was when hitler consolidated his power by removing perceived enemies within the nazi party. Are you saying the MAGAs will turn on each other?
Likely! These people are inherently antisocial and tend to hate each other
It’s tough when the Supreme Court green lights everything TFG does.
Yada yada yada
Fuckin A...
Maybe they're waiting for their bribe money!
Watch the film Judgment at Nuremberg with Spencer Tracy to see what happened to the judiciary!! @SCOTUS
It was back in April that David Brooks, of all people, called for a national civic uprising to oppose the Trump crimes against the Constitution
And “where are our police officers?” They better be arresting the traitorous creeps who are behind these actions.
They might be the ones
This should start at the top with the leaders of the federal judiciary: John Roberts and the Judicial Conference
I believe the judge who sentenced Hitler for the beer hall putsch liked him.
I’ve been asking about federal judges, lawyers. - hoping they have a backbone . SC is dead. Congress is dead. And masked men kidnapping innocent people- concentration camps in America. Where the fuck is anyone that can stop this cruel madness from pedo republicans. Repulsive.
(and thank you for your reporting, Ms Bower)
💯
I know of six people who dgaf.
They have also failed us along with the media and universities.
Just re-watched Judgement at Nuremberg & Inherit the Wind…lessons to be reminded of in these times
The idiots in the sheriffs' offices need a list of addresses of public figures, so they'll figure out that there's a near 100% chance it's a fraudulent call. Also, the telphone system needs to be able to nail down where a call is coming from to hold these scum callers accountable.
Just awful! Time to move!
OMGFG!!
Terrible
That’s so fucked up!
And we don’t know who is really behind it.
It's a pretty Mafioso thing to do
Ugh . . . Judge Lasnik is a great human being. I worked with him on statewide high school mock trials. I didn't realize he and his kids had been threatened like that.
The GOP is driven by fear. When Trump is gone, what do they think will happen to them?
And these are the flames that Trump is fueling. For some insane reason he thinks that it makes him look powerful. He cried for months when someone nicked his ear but doesn’t care that his followers are threatening the judiciary with extreme harm. He wants a Nobel. Yeah right, for extreme stupidity?
When you're stealing a Country,a few murders here and there are a small price for others to pay.
That’s mafia level crappery.
Trump has always been a mafia level guy so this kind of viciousness is going to happen as long as he thinks he's the mafia king of 'Murica.
Weird how the christofascist SCOTUS justices coddle the guy who is directly and indirectly responsible for threats to judges and their family members.
Will someone ask the President to condemn this behavior?
You mean give him a platform to make another damaging statement about the judiciary, profer his own replacements and evade the question. Wise up, for gods sake, wise up.
He didn't even say anything about the Democratic state senators from Minnesota that were actually assassinated. He's fine with this, it's actually the plan. Intimidation.
He did actually. He condemned it
Can you point me to a video where he actually said something? A post on social media doesn't count in this situation. Biden actually showed up to the funeral.
www.nbcnews.com/news/amp-vid...
I know. But will someone put him on the spot about it or is it fait accompli?
Sure, they should ask, I guess. But that will probably piss him off and he'll say they have behaved very badly, treated him very badly. He's a psychopath, no empathy for other people.
No words for this one. My god.
Pigs
It seems like the senders of the pizza would be easy for the U.S. Marshals Service to track down these senders since they had to pay for the pizza. Are they looking?
I think so. We do not , however, have the “law” on our side anymore in bizarro opposite world!
Probs not
What God awful depravity this.
So very sad
That is so far beyond cruel.
Beyond the beyond….monstrously evil is better!
Dispicable!! Sounds like a Putin thing to do. 🤔
Mob rule
Credit cards?
Deplorable.
💔
Where’s the outrage in Congress?
Where is the outrage and orders from John Robert’s to provide security for our judges and to arrest all these people threatening to harm.
Protect them💙🙏🏻
How is it possible to order a pizza, send it to a judge without providing identifying info.
We need new state laws on intimidation of judges with heavy-duty consequences attached. Assault on the structure of law can’t be tolerated.
Horrible
#TargetedIndividuals are upstanding Americans who have been used, for decades, to develop the technologies and methods to 'neutralize' a target via an unrelenting, tailored program of harassment. #TIs have reached out for help from #LawEnforcement, the justice system, politicians and others... 1/2
2/2... with authority, to get targeted individuals their lives back. Nearly 100% of the 1000s of targeted individuals are not believed or worse- told that they are schizophrenic and are imagining things. The judges will see that the targeting never stops. Moving to a foreign country doesn't help.
Gee, I wonder what Mitch said?
McConnell - the self-proclaimed Grim Reaper- should come face to face at long last with the real thing
My question is, how come this is the first and only time I've heard of this, but I've heard about Sydney Sweeny's jeans commercial like 50 times in 2 days?
Yes. Same here.
A lot of people get their news from social media, which pushes extremes, outrages, anything but reality. The legacy media is trying to compete, so there's a lot of "clickbait news". Good book on social media: The Chaos Machine (@Max-Fisher.bsky.social).
💙🙏🏻
Sounds like a little punk trying to be a tough guy. The repeating of MF so often shows he’s immature and trying out the worst word he knows.
Wrong. See #TargetedIndividuals
I think it is a grown man unfortunately.
…I’m sorry, the ONE TIME? Does this man not pay attention to the judiciary outside his own little fiefdom?
I feel you and I think we give him a break. We can’t treat everyone who was complicit as a war criminal. Ivy Leagues? Maybe. Dem Senators? Maybe. But judges who speak up? No. They are not supposed to speak publicly. It’s a BFD. I think we have to welcome ppl into the fold when they see the light
It's almost as if some corrupt political official was afraid of the judiciary exposing his corruption so he started baselessly attacking them. On the flip side, the highest court is actually corrupt, so these poor judges have nowhere to turn.
To be clear, the harassment is directly the result of John Roberts’ court deciding a monarchy would be nice and legal if a Republican was king
Bullshit! The harassment is the result of evil conservatives! Stop infantilizing conservative people! The Holocaust wasn't committed by "the government" or Hitler, it was committed by MILLIONS of German citizens! ALL conservative people are fucking evil.
Yet they say they have to protect Ice thug’s identities. The Pedo in chiefs calls on his magats to attack these judges and their families
Our own government at work folks. Zero chance any of that was not directed by or done directly by our own government. It's the same kind of thing Putin does, paying people to shit on your car, and forcing you be extra sure your windows are double locked.

He might not be able to afford to fix the exhaust leak on his rusted out 1976 Ford Fairlane, but he has 7 assault rifles that he polishes every day, a crate full of ammo, and a serrated hunting knife with blood channels.
Infuriating little POS! This makes me so angry! Judges are the only thing trying to keep the trump regime in check.
This has been happening to judges and lawyers for eight years. Nobody took their warnings seriously.
How much was his bail?
Law enforcement in the state where this judge lives needs to take action. If Trump had received those kinds of threats there would be hell to pay, yet he incites violence with zero consequences.
Based on that part of the list I just read, I'd say that many of the threats w)ere posted by the same person(s).
It’s likely Trump directed federal government agencies are behind the terror. We need to hunt them down and prosecute them. In international courts if necessary. @democraticags.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov @raskin.house.gov @ec.europa.eu @maddow.msnbc.com
These hick's are not particularly bright are they? Send a threat with your name and phone number?
They can do it because under Trump they won't be prosecuted.
They'll be hired for the deportation secret police.
Yup. We’re seeing political violence utilized by one side with just enough separation to deny accountability.
In normal times those responsible would be tracked down by the FBI and held accountable. But with Patel & Bondi at the FBI and DOJ, that won't happen.😠
The fascist cult can get away with anything. Notice how the corporate media isn’t freaking out about this. The cult leader can send his members to attack judges and the media will just move on as if it’s normal.
All of this is happening bc MIKE JOHNSON has given up power of the purse. Mike Johnson has decided Trump gets to control OUR TAXPAYER money and be a dictator
This is what happens when fascists don’t get their way.
The judiciary is the only thing holding the country together and it's about to fail. The "administration" is ignoring judicial rulings and no one is doing anything about it.
I wish they would publish their names. Public shaming and being pelted with rotted vegetables and eggs are ready for a comeback.
These are the people I am told again and again and again that we need to reach out to and hear their side.
Know their are people who support your decision. Stay strong!!
Domestic. Terrorism.
There’s always a trail, no matter how much these vile Brownshirts attempt to spoof their numbers / email addresses / signal chat groups. Expose and doxx these cowardly motherfvckers.
This genius left his name and number.
Trump is a clear and present danger to the United States of America.
You would think a real leader would tell his followers to stop. But he won’t because he likes this kind of thing.
this right here is representative of the republican base/ a third of the country, basically. mix in self absorbed, selfish and/or power hungry fucks and welcome to to the USA in 2025. only blind fools don't see it for what it is at this point.
I don't know why the caller's name & number get blanked, if they are real then reveal them. Full consequences. Just as he says.
Disgraceful ignorant hunans!
The war on our having a constitution at all…
But there are fine people on both sides!!
not feelin it
Doesn’t the FBI have methods to find these guys? Oh. Never mind.
The modern GOP has spent decades manipulating the ignorance & hate of its base for the sake of power. Your life is lousy? Blame everyone but the people who are actually screwing you over - Us! This is the inevitable result.
A bunch of purely sick people
We need to reverse this BS. If current directions remain unchanged we will see the following; *Corruption and lawlessness without access to redress *Massive income inequality *Further loss of rights, particularly for women *Environmental abuse & neglect *Widespread poverty It has begun.
I wonder, morbidly: do these abusive callers make scripts? Do these inarticulate motherfuckers have to call multiple times when they misspeak? “Someone needs to wipe his ass - I mean wipe his ass - wipe his ass out. Shit. Lemme start over. I’ll call you back.”
And the crooked Cunt in the department of justice will do nothing
Just like Trump, these people are beyond mentally ill and should be in a mental health facility.
None of these people are mentally ill. NEVER give a fascist or a terrorist the out of mental distress, because truly mentally challenged people rarely act with such focus to destroy the lives of other people. Psychopathy and sociopathy are not mental issues. They're personality defects.
We can’t even send this to the FBI anymore because they’re not listening.
This is not only vile behavior toward these judges fulfilling their duty - it is an assault against ALL Americans. This is OUR judicial system, imperfect, but working, and without it we are lost. There would be no playing field with rules - just chaos and violence.
😡
This is who Trump Followers are!... Nice!... Huh???? ... Unbelievable!!
And nobody will do anything. Law enforcement doesn't care. Hey friends, I promise someone will care if something happens to you.
What horrible, miserable excuses for human beings we now have running the country.
Mofos real comfortable threatening people's lives online when they anonymous. Wild...
Yall better than me because that wouldn't have been me. I'll leave it right there lol
Trace the calls. Make examples of every single one of these people that we can
Trump’s America, and he’s only getting started.
Awful treatment for people trying to do their job properly, It's probably happening to anyone who mildly opposes Trump right now.
I would normally say "I hope he enjoyed his visit from the FBI," but is the FBI investigating domestic terrorism any more?
Most likely not if the fascist regime's DOJ doesn't like the targets of these domestic terrorists. The FBI reports its findings to the DOJ ...
Any comment from John Roberts on this shit or nah?
Nah.
C
He seems to approve.
And we also know folks like James ho and Kyle Duncan won't say shit
Thank chief Justice roberts
Fish rots from the head down. This is because of the Trump administration.
Domestic Terrorists threatened Judges, politicians, and citizens all last term. Including hitlists by Flynn's team. But no Justice, for anything.
Never has a Supreme Court, in the control of a Republican majority, issued a Landmark decision removing a President from personal immunity for unlawful acts in violation of the Constitution, or personal criminal acts as a citizen. The most corrupt SCOTUS in the history of the United States 🇺🇸
Absolutely. Although, it wasn't just Trump, and the Insurrection. We must do better in the future.
Gotta say, it's not looking good for USA, I think you folks are past the point of return and falling rather comfortably into fascism. Seeds were planted years ago, the leadership that could have done something were too comfortable in their cacoons. Their ignorance has cost you.
Trust me that it's anything but comfortable for us.
Why should anyone trust us? We allowed this to happen, in fact we voted for this to happen. All the purity bullshit from 2016 to now ushered this shit in.
Just wait til’ ol’ Clarence retires and Bove gets in there! Oh boy are we cooked. 🙄
Give me that number.
Who made the call?
You would think these sorts of threats would land yourself in jail. Here in Australia it's considered a serious allegation of intent to cause harm, and penalties are attached. Wacko.
Before Trump, this was a crime here too.
it’s a death cult
Heartbreaking 💔
These people are sick.
The number of people in this thread who actually believe that the caller used his OWN name and number is...something
God damn that is not good
Has the man who left the voicemail been arrested or charged with anything?
Truly horrible what the Republican Party has become.
The caller sounds like his mother and father are brother and sister.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. Wait until mid-terms and the 2028 election- Trump & Co. will plan and execute events that will make J6 look like child’s play.
I am sorry and afraid you’re right..
Why is the name redacted?
Make sure John Roberts knows what his right wing friends are doing to judges. He claims to care about the judiciary.
So the caller gave his name and phone number, has anything been done about it? If so, why isn't that in the news? We hear about the threats to public officials all the time so why don't we hear about the follow up to the story? Come on media, do the rest of the fucking job!!
Unbelievable!
These are organized crime tactics.
We simply can’t continue to coexist with MAGA people. They can’t be allowed to live in society anymore.
It's that kind of behavior that proves to me that MAGA fanatics are the worst scum of the earth.
Remember when everyone thought calling these guys deplorables was a bridge too far...?
"basket of deplorables" is a weird, consultant polished description. She should have just said bunch of assholes and never again given a shit about the outraged responses.
These are the people who think Yrumpnis just great. These guys and PDFiles.
The Caller merely exposed his/her own ignorance by using such vile and crude language. When ones' position or argument can only be voiced with vulgarity same is automatically negated and not worth listening to. Threatening anyone aptly affirms a persons' lack of basic human decency. Despite the 1/
Caller claiming he/she would confront the Judge in person people of that ilk tend to share a number of common traits, one of which is cowardice. 47 et al and the Republicans are purposefully endangering those in the judiciary who oppose their egregious acts. Such blatant incitement is yet 2/
another act of treason 😡.
Why isn’t this prosecuted as terrorism?
Well, that seems utterly unhinged. Did this MFkr get arrested, PLEASE??
Trace the call and ARREST them!
Who? This fascist regime's FBI sure won't.
Try some local authorities. Don't forget that Minnesota was able to still arrest Vance Boetler.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this is Trump's phone ringtone.
The phone call is from Trump's "base." If his personal attorney Bondi or his FBI stooge Patel aren't too busy blacking out Trump's name from Epstein files maybe they should have a discussion with the " tough guy."
Klan tactics directed by the administration because they have the same mission and same leadership.
Yet judges don't hide their faces like the ICE goons. I know who the real heros are.
I guess Judge Jeanine Pirro gonna be all over him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3-7...
Jesus
Double dare you? The vile POS talks like a child. A very stupid one. But that is a MAGAt for you. Impotent white-boy bullies.
Wow. Speechless listening to this. Absolutely ignorant individual and I certainly hope he was held to highest penalty enforced by law.
…then Tяump will give him a pardon.
Has the caller been arrested and charged with anything?
If you're asking whether the police did anything, I think we all kinda have an idea what the answer is.
Weird how selective they are at going after those who threaten government employees
I've been a government employee my entire adult life. Nobody ever stood up for me. Those firefighters that got killed in Idaho? We constantly had to deal with shit like that. We're putting their meth trailer out, they're spiking trees and rolling on fire stuff down hills to try to kill us.
This caller needs psychiatric care. Way too much kool-aid.
This lady has no idea how unhinged she sounds.

Bullies always gonna bully and especially when the orange one gave them all the go ahead waaaayyyy back in days leading up to first election.
The guy left his name and number in the voicemail —- no charges? No calls back? Nothing? If nothing was done then more of this will continue.
The quality of supporter is as expected. Bet he fucks children also.
Has the creep cult member been arrested?
I am sure all the conservatives who cried about the threats to Kavanaugh will decry this behavior, right?
Too bad we no longer have an FBI or DOJ who will protect this judge....
Sturmabteilung always waiting in the wings.
Watched without audio; read the whole thing in the Ken Kaniff from Connecticut voice.
This is so wrong!
And this is exactly what will happen to Scotus if they don’t start slapping taco and his fellow Nazis down. The January 6 thing was just a preview of coming attractions. Even the Nazi judges could swing from a tree.
It should be possible for the police to run down these threats to their point of origin. The problem is that point of origin is the Trump White House. SCOTUS Roberts gave Trump immunity & that ... remains the problem.
Release this guy to the public
Wait, Slim Pickens is dead. And why was his name and number removed? Cough it up people.
SCOTUS enabled persecution. Betrayal of oath, betrayal of jurist ethics, betrayal of decency.
FOTUS and the MAGA/GOP are a bunch of corrupt, self-serving, anti-American traitorous thugs.
and if they were a conservative supreme court justice congress would be falling over each other to increase security oh wait, they did that. crazy double standards
And this is what makes Donald Trump smile. His minions doing the dirty work for him. He knows there are many of them who would kill for him. And Trump is counting on it..
📌
We are way beyond the pale, maybe it’s time to be likewise.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but why is the name/phone # of the harasser, which they freely gave, bleeped out of this?
The recording was already redacted when it was played aloud by John McConnell at the event. I don’t know the identity of the caller. I can’t speak to why it was redacted but my guess is that there could be an ongoing investigation, the guy could be impersonating someone else, etc…
Thanks!
Probably because until they're convicted, they're just an "alleged" criminal. Revealing the information would expose them to harassment, which is still illegal, no matter how much of a criminal POS they are.
They could very well have provided the name and number of someone else; this could itself be swatting
I didn’t even think of that possibility!
I mean yeah they’re really brazen but even I pause when they state their name and phone number
Buh buh but…. Dem durty libs held up signs in front of Alito’s house! OH the HUMANITY!
Sick of this shit too. I mean, really?
He sounds lovely! Disgusting!
Why censor the number? Why censor the harasser’s name? This person made a phone call and gave it out freely. What protection does this violent, fascist goon deserve?
Fear of lawsuit probably
My thoughts exactly, why give that KKKracy man cover,post his name and number,I'd love to give this guy a call and let him feel terror like he thought HE had the right to do. Why are ANY addresses or phone numbers of officials publicly listed? Here I am,come get me.🙄😒😮💨🤢🤮🤯🫥😶🌫️
well for now you can take solace in the fact that he left his name and number in a message threatening a judge. i presume he has been visited by men with badges and faces potential criminal prosecution.
Let's hope.
the men with badges likely congratulated this terrorist
yeah that's a good point.
You think any law enforcement did anything? How many J6ers were in law enforcement?!?
yeah that's a good point.
The felon in the White House sees nothing wrong with this. How dare any judge rule against him? The lying press secretary will feign indignation at the temerity of any judge who would question the unchangeable dictates of the felon. All but saying these judges have it coming.
Domestic terrorism?
📌
The inevitable result of electing a mobster president. Expect mob tactics.
Sounds like the Klan to me
Where‘s the FBI? Just smirking?
You shouldn't censor the name and phone number.
Say it with me: American Sturmabteilung
Know what happens in 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 countries when their democratic governments go rouge? Military coups! Sometimes it's bad, like Egypt in 2011, Argentina in 1976 and Chile in 1973, sometimes it leads to a cooling down period and a return to democracy like Pakistan. Why don't Americans consider this option?
The judges getting these messages need to forward them to the Supreme Court. Sure SCOTUS isn't trustworthy but they need to be alerted over this.
And EVERY SINGLE media outlet.
Trump's America
What childish behavior
Aren't there still left leaning HIT MEN in this country?
If this crap was happening to Republicans they'd be arrested for terrorism! America needs to get a grip, or get some good meds in the water to calm these people down. This is some sick shit!
When the threats are coming from inside the regime, (radicalized extremists) it impacts everyone, including a sitting USA judge. Recall Fiona Hills’ threats/harassment stories prior to giving testimony, she described same potentially crim behaviors at her residence. Prior history is informative.
Here is the link for the public to file a complaint against Bondi www.dcbar.org/attorney-dis...
How can anyone expect anything different. The majority of voters reelected this POS in the WH and empowered MAGA.
I know this isn't the important part, but how would a judge "put charges on Donald J. Trump"? This deranged man has no idea what a judge even is.
They're the people who made it possible for him to be President. Trump doesn't care about the little judges - Roberts wants him to rule us like a King. Roberts is to blame for every single one of those threats in my eyes.
Jail won't be enough for these ghouls
When you publicly invite people to do other people harm, isn't that inciting violence? And if so, isn't that a crime? And if so, why is it not being investigated?
Traitors need guillotines pronto. We are way way past due
We need to take our country back and charge them all with terrorism.
It is truly disgusting what Trump and his MAGAt supporters have unleashed in America.
This next episode of Star Wars starts out real weird
These aren't random Trump lovers doing this; it's Trump's actual minions, an organized, coordinated psych op, using swatting methods to terrorize federal judges into complying. It's a burning cross on the lawn or a horse head in the bed. They know the cops will dismiss it & media ignore it for them.
FLEE THE FAILURE
Welcome to how authoritarianism works
When you elect a leader who operates like a mob boss, you get the mob.
"Suthi'n I do declare? What a surprise"
Has anyone tried putting people in jail? We still do that, right? Seems like people let the conservative nutjobs get away with things out of fear... and I get the fear... but who's doing something about it? This is the kind of shit the Klan would do.
Nobody did anything about the Klan either, because they were just the terror arm of the rest of the system, same as here.
The Klan never stopped. The Klan were never stopped!
Please stand strong, Judge!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Why is this redacted? So lame, completely unbelievable
Man, Lindsey Graham needs to calm down.
Horrendous
So I wonder if Kash Patel’s FBI will investigate this credible threat. The person left their name and phone number.
Think Trump's little EO last week directing states to criminalize/institutionalize homeless, addicts & those w/mental health disabilities *might* just get a bunch of MAGAts swept up too! Let THEM feel the pain those being terrorized by ICE!
America is sadly morally bankrupt...any values, morals and compassion Americans once cherished went flying out the door in 2016. And for what, this imbecile?
This is a clear trend and I don’t think we need Sherlock Holmes to figure out who is behind it
And I'm sure that caller is a fine outstanding Xtian...
no one held accountable for these threats?? you know maga is not smart enough to use a burner phone, bought with cash, at a store with no security cameras.
These MAGA a-holes have been trained well. What we need is actual law enforcement to track these a-holes down and give them a come to jeebus moment. It might break them out of the cult.
What are the FBI and CIA doing to trace these calls?
I am so tired of fighting these monsters with both hands tied behind my back
They should NOT redact the names and phone numbers of these callers. Why protect their identities? They do not deserve to be protected.
Really wasn't expecting the racism at the end but I guess the Trump supporters are getting a little more equal opportunity with it
Used to have an FBI that would jump on this. Under Bondi, Patel and Bongino,we can’t count on that anymore.
Why did they redact that moron’s phone number? We can fight back!
Our judges need protection.
This is MAGA
Trumps ugly America that many of our friends and relatives voted for.
Trump has unleashed a world of people with mental and balances thinking it’s OK to do whatever they want wherever they want to whatever they want and the GOP simply doesn’t have the spines to ever say no to Trump
Why is
Wow, inbred pedocons all sound like little Hee Haw cousinfuckers
Predator Trump started this. And make no mistake. This is a war.
Think about it, six direct threats to a federal officer, and Trump’s DOJ and FBI have not been able to find a single one of those people? That sounds like someone didn’t look.
Like Hitler, Trump spews hatred, fear, and disinformation—promising revenge & retribution. He seeks to terminate the U.S. Constitution, corrupt the DOJ to indict any/all opponents, throw people in jail who disagree with him, and shut down all fact-based journalism—ending democracy & the rule of law.
Oh my God!
They harass people and judges because none of *them* have been killed yet. Until someone stands their ground, this behavior will continue.
These judges are braver than me. They are on the front lines.
When I was at my last job I got a judgment out of a court in Ontario saying that sending an unsolicited pizza is a credible threat of violence. The litigator who did the leg work, @dmschmeyer.bsky.social, can tell you more.
Stochastic terrorism does tremendous damage, to our civil fabric and to our democracy, and while the law has been somewhat to slow to catch up expressly, the common law of torts is replete with theory rendering it all sorts of actionable. We did good work here.
Serious question: I was making an argument in mid-2020 that assholes walking up to people wearing a mask and deliberately coughing in their face was assault and ought to be seen as such by the courts. Setting aside the odds of getting a conviction (seems poor); reasonable?
I think that's absolutely common law battery. Whether its assault out of a penal code depends on the code, but conceptually, yes, reasonable.
Fair, I should keep the variance in state codes more in mind. Thanks. 👍
If I was holding a hammer and saw a person doing that, that person would look more like a nail than anything I had ever seen.
Putting someone in apprehension of getting an infectious disease is absolutely assault in Washington.
Hate being so numb to this. Finally listened to the call. The racists calling my Grandmother (when trying to harass my Great Aunt) had far more detailed threats against me. Wish I knew of you back then! Couldn't afford you but I'd try. My good detective got promoted then I had no help with TPS.
Hopefully there won’t be a next time but if there is: the judgment we got was in Ontario, and I can dust off my Quebec license and put on the robes once more.
📌
This is how trump gets everyone to do his bidding: threats to them & their families. People are ALWAYS going to capitulate when their families are threatened. Easier to let harm come to 340,000,000 people who are faceless to them.
Bove's orders?
If a judge wants peace, they should just rule in favor of the King.
Why censor his name and phone number? He popped it off freely, don't protect his stupid inbred ass...
FBI investigating?
Unfortunately, the DOJ is part of Felon tRump's fascist regime...and so is the FBI. "The FBI is one of several federal law enforcement agencies within the DOJ. The DOJ oversees the FBI's operations and provides support, while the FBI investigates federal crimes and reports its findings to the DOJ."
Yet ice agents are allowed to wear masks and not identify themselves because they might be harassed/doxed.
And government attorneys have been permitted to have their identities anonymized in immigration court too
Um, did this sad Leslie Jordan knockoff give his actual name and phone number while making threats? And was he arrested?
Shameful. I don’t want to hear from the “free speech” crowd, this is NOT free speech, that redneck needs to be sent to CECOT.
The pro-Trump terrorists need to go to jail. Too bad he pardoned so many already, but we know how to write new charges.
Epstein.
If there was only one thing I wish an AI app could do it would be to reverse engineer the scammer and threatening phone calls and emails. We could find these people and send them to El Salvador. Or Hell.
Y'all better get rid of this regime by any means necessary.
Somebody loves the MF word
Nazi America
