Threatening the president is a federal crime, right?

Maybe they can kill two birds with one stone - visit him about this threat to the president, and quickly check in the hidden room that they missed during the mar a lardo search warrant.

Oh they didn’t miss it… they chose not to check it.

Why

Member how the entirety of the DCI’s TLDs did sweet fuckall about Trump while he was in office? Even after Mueller found there was significant cause to charge him? Well, that’s not because they’re incompetent necessarily.

Consider Officer Sicknick was a Trump supporter.

And a metaphor.

I think they politely enquired as to whether there was anything they ought to see in the hidden room. When Trump confirmed that there was not, they accepted that claim at face value, because trump would never lie... right ?

With prosecution, if he wins an election?

Maybe. But he’s not outright threatening assassins in the night. (They’re too incompetent for that. They’ll show up in the day and ask the secret service for directions to his office.)
