Humor me. Do you consider Schumer’s threat against the Republican appointed SC Justices only a ‘general threat’? And not a ‘specific threat’ that warrants investigation?

(IIRC Schumer at least apologized….)


Remind me what Schumer even said?

I'm sure it's not to hard to find a lot of politicians who made similar remarks over the years. Problem is, Trump chummed the water so much he actually produced the actual feeding frenzy.

While we wait for someone to actually post Schumer’s “threat,” didn’t Donny just post the Obamas’ home address recently and some deranged supporter got arrested for showing up with a bunch of weapons?

I am not defending Trump. I am just pointing out Schumer called out his minions in a similar fashion as Trump did. No specifics. Probably technically not even illegal. (Individual responsibility concept).

You seem bright enough to Google ‘Schumer threatens Supreme Court Justices’ all on your own. Or are you not?

I couldn't find anything specific on FBI cases, but police have discretion to arrest someone. Some people only get investigations started for threats not actual arrests. Or they arrest them on another threat made later.

I’ve thought about Trump’s multiple ‘arrests’ and the meaning of the word ‘arrest’. Outside of the legal arena ‘arrest’ tends to mean ‘stop’. Like “his growth was arrested when he stopped eating’.
In that sense Trump has not been ‘arrested’ from anything! He can still golf. Still campaign. Still blather on his Truth Social platform.
Has he at least had to forfeit his passport? Has he had to put up even $1 as bail? Does he officially have to alert any of the courts if he is traveling?


Lots of people get "arrested" and don't have to pay bail. At the very least, his freedom of movement was taken away for a few hours each time he went for processing and in front of the judge. He was not exactly free to go.

He's been "quad-dited" and he is under some form of court supervision.

Where's he gonna go? I guess that he could try to flee, but he'd have to get away from the Secret Service first.

They aren't too anxious to lose a protectee.

I don’t believe Schumer actually threatened anyone, so I thought it would be more fun to make you or kenarman post his “threat” and make that false equivalence to the nutbag who threatened Judge Chutkan.

If a cop ever says, "Do that again and I'm taking you in" he may already have observed a crime but is giving you a break. Or he may just be abusing his authority. But it's probably one of the two.

That sounds reasonably threatening when talking about any judge. Said in a courthouse I am sure you would be in jail for contempt.
