More details from The Daily Beast: Woman Charged After Racist Tirade Threatening to Kill D.C. Trump Judge.
A Texas woman is facing federal charges after allegedly threatening to kill the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal case in Washington, D.C., in which he’s accused of conspiring to reverse his defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
A criminal complaint filed Friday outlines how Abigail Jo Shry, 48, called U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s chambers on Aug. 5, leaving “a threatening voicemail message.”
The caller began: “Hey, you stupid slave n—–,” according to the complaint. They then went on to threaten the lives of “anyone who went after former President Trump,” name-dropping ” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), “all Democrats in Washington, D.C.,” and “all people” in the LGBTQ+ community.
To Chutkan, the caller continued, “You are in our sights, we want to kill you,” and “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you, so tread lightly, bitch,” the complaint alleges. They threatened to target her “personally, publicly, your family, all of it.”
Investigators quickly traced the cell phone used to Shry. When Department of Homeland Security agents knocked on her door in Alvin, Texas, three days later, Shry admitted that she’d made the call to Chutkan. She told the agents that she had no plans to go to D.C. or carry out any of her threats, but added ominously that “if Sheila Jackson Lee comes to Alvin, then we need to worry,” the complaint states.
Shry is charged with transmitting a communication containing a threat to injure the person of another–a felony with a maximum prison term of up to five years.
NBC News: Trump supporters post names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online.
ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
NBC News is choosing not to name the website featuring the addresses to avoid further spreading the information.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office declined to comment. District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment, and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand jurors’ purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists,” Jones said. “The lack of political leadership on the right to denounce these threats — which serve to inspire real-world political violence — is shameful.”
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors on other social media sites. The posts asserted that the jurors had posted on social media in support of Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., former President Barack Obama and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The indictment issued Monday lists the names of the grand jury members but not their addresses or other personal information.

I’m still having problems with resizing images, so I’m stuck posting from Twitter. I’m hoping Dakinikat can help me with this before Caturday comes around again.
Looking more and more like a similar process to the Camp fire in California with the 85 (?) fatalities. Heat, dry, hurricane winds, and utility companies who didn’t turn off the power lines providing sparks.
(Some) people are idiots.
This will lighten up your day:
I think that it is pretty evident that since Trump became “king” the Fruit Loops have been coming out of the woodwork like an army of termites. They also seemed ready and eager to “punish” any all opponents to him from any means available.
Some of these nut jobs appear armed and loaded for bear and quite willing to create as much harm and chaos as possible to defend their “dear leader”. And be sure that “dear leader” approves wholeheartedly!
The stupidity of these people is pathetic. But let’s not forget the failure of the GOP in all of this current mess. As a party they have to
obligation to put an end to Trump but refuse to do so.
So as awful as the deplorables may be – and they are! – the majority of blame rests with the GOP itself who have defended, supported, and condoned his behavior which has electrified the armed unstable among us to rise up and threaten the rest of us on behalf of this sleaze ball conman.
It gets scarier out there by the day, more so because they feel justified by the silence of an entire party of traitorous morons.
And for me the loss of Hillary Clinton was and is still heartbreaking.
Trump supporters are scary. They are deranged and delude and hopped up on irrationsl anger.
