FBI says it’s investigating after reports of violent threats to Colorado judges in Trump case
The FBI is working with law enforcement officials in Colorado in the wake of threats made against state Supreme Court justices who ruled last week to remove Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot.
“The FBI is aware of the situation and working with local law enforcement,” FBI Public Affairs Officer Vikki Migoya said in a statement provided to CNN on Monday. “We will vigorously pursue investigations of any threat or use of violence committed by someone who uses extremist views to justify their actions regardless of motivation.”
A spokesperson for the Colorado Judicial Branch would not comment on reports of threats to the justices, and a message left with the Denver Police Department was not immediately returned Monday afternoon. Master Trooper Gary Cutler, a spokesman for the Colorado State Patrol, said any threats against judges would be handled by local authorities.
In addition to the federal response, state and local law enforcement officials and non-government research groups have been monitoring rhetoric on extremist online forums for signs it might translate to tangible threats to public officials.
I hope they round up these right wing terrorists. They've been a plight on this country for too long. Getting away with too much. Worse yet, others have spent decades trying to both sides everything, and now we can see how wrong they were, and still are.
I hope they (somehow) manage to do it before they can vote in the next presidential election. It's the time of year to ask for a miracle, right?
Cops and Fancy Cops™ aren't going to round up themselves
There's only one way to deal with feral hogs...
How to win at life: death threats to supreme court justices. Like wtf? Who even considers that an option, ever?
Brain dead conservative cult members
Terrorists*
Self-declared, at that
Same thing
I think you're right. People say I use the word "terrorist" too much, but this fits the definition in my opinion.
People whipped up into a frenzy by bad faith media and demogaugs.
People with the emotional maturity of a 2 year old, entitled and raised to attack anything they don't like, were never taught ethical principles, nor how to cooperate with others in society, whipped into a angry, rabid frenzy by their religious and political platforms run by wolves who only care about advancing their wealth at the expense of positive progress that will actively help said people and other people in society and limit the overreach of corporations and runaway capitalist exploitation
All because "Joe is a traitor" and "I miss the good ol' days", and often outright -ism (across a myriad of protected categories, race, sex/gender, etc.)
People who think they're anonymous behind a social media username.
I don't want to see news about the FBI saying it's looking into this, I want to hear about indictments
Presumably one part of the purpose for the press release is to try and prevent/reduce additional threats.
"Hey assholes, we are actually watching you."
Narrator: In the end, they never called them terrorists.
Throw the book at these fucking traitors to the constitution
Do you think they're helping local law enforcement with their spelling on the death threats?
Yeah, I’m sure they’re totally on that
