If I was in charge of the New York Dept of Public Safety, on Monday I'd announce arrests of people who've been threatening witnesses, judges, prosecutors & their families.
I'd charge them with witness tampering. obstruction of justice &, if it is done over social media from others states, interstate threats.
I'd provide the media with mug shots of MULTIPLE people who have made threats.
I'd repeat the EVIDENCE of the scale & scope of the threats against the Judges, prosecutors & their families.
@spocko Imagine on the eve of your criminal trial you attack a main prosecution witness blatantly violating a specific order not to do so in a display of legal and personal contempt for the Court having earlier attacked the family of the judge. You'd go straight to jail. Not Shitler. Why make these gag orders? What message do empty threats send to his cult?
@nf3xn Great point. MY POINT is law enforcement needs to show arrests of all the OTHER people who have made threats. The media can report on THEM. Those people aren't Teflon. They don't have the legal resources #Trump has.
We can't deter Trump? Deter his followers. Here is Chris Hayes talking to Lisa Rubin about the threats to #JudgeEngoron's law clerk.
What we still didn't see are the faces of people arrested for those threats.
The Trump cult needs to see that those people have been arrested.
