Reactions to #Trump post, "If you go after me I'm coming after you!"

Weissmann: This is the kind of thing DOJ alerts court to w respect to any defendant out on bail (in this case, in 3 criminal cases, also is a threat in civil cases like E Jean Carroll). Not addressing this will only cause it to metastasize w undue deadly risks.

2/2 Joyce Vance: Free speech is 1 thing, but this is over the line. As a prosecutor, I'd be sorely tempted to make a motion to revoke Trump's pre-trial bond & put him in custody. Let him explain it to the judge.
@GottaLaff Any sense whether the judge will do so?
@PamelaBarroway She’ll issue a warning. If he keeps it up, a fine. My guess.
@GottaLaff even as a Free Speech Bro ™️ i'd have to say that this sounds actionable to me. you can't just threaten people, especially in an active court case, and especially especially when you're actively running for the most powerful office in the world where you'll have the opportunity to follow through!

@GottaLaff

Let this pass. Trump will do it again, only worse. Then we can unambiguously throw his ass in jail.

@GottaLaff And he's picked the wrong Judge to mess with: she's been exceptionally tough on the J6 insurrectionists.
@GottaLaff Enough is enough. Some looney cultist with an AR15 will take this seriously. LockHimUp FFS!

@GottaLaff

Everyone knows this is incitement to violence by his proxies. No one wants to address it. Where does free speech end? I thought that was only in reference to political statements, not a free for all.

@GottaLaff he’s a freaking psycho and one of the judges has to draw a red line.

#Trump, today: "If you go after me I'm coming after you!"

Trump, March, 1993: "Most people stayed with me in the bad times, but I had some people who were disloyal. And those people I'm going to destroy. Just for the sake of destroying them. If I ever have the opportunity."

@fluxed @GottaLaff
"I believe strongly in getting even. If somebody was out to hurt you, I really believe you should do a number on them. Now I have the opportunity to do a number on those people and I have to tell you, I'm having a lot of fun with the opportunity."
-- Donald Trump
