For accuracy & truth Trump it should be, “I could” (direct someone) “to stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” Trump is a dangerous mob boss, he must be detained until trial. 

It’s unprecedented to allow a defendant to threaten prosecutors, judges, witnesses & jurors. U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan should put Trump in custody for his threats. 



Legal AF Host Karen Friedman Agnifilo reports on a recent Utah raid by the FBI explaining why it all links back to disgraced Former President Trumps' dangerous rhetoric.

Frank Figliuzzi: Utah man fatally shot by FBI made threats comparable to 'stochastic terrorism'



"Hours before President Joe Biden traveled to Utah on Wednesday, FBI agents shot and killed a man in his home in Provo as they were serving an arrest warrant. According to FBI documents, the man had threatened to kill the president and other government officials, most of whom he apparently believed to be mistreating former President Donald Trump.

The FBI affidavit in support of the search warrant request describes the alleged conduct and threats it attributes to Craig Deleeuw Robertson, a retired steel and welding inspector. Those threats reportedly include Robertson’s social media posts indicating his desire to also harm the FBI agents investigating him and kill Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who leads the New York “hush money” case against Trump.

No one should be surprised by this development. In fact, I’d be surprised if we don’t see more violent threats against government officials, given the incendiary rhetoric from Trump and his supporters. Robertson’s threats against those officials appear to be an end result of stochastic terrorism, generally defined as the public vilification of a particular group of people that randomly and unpredictably leads to violence against members of that group...


As for his reported threats on Biden, the Utah man allegedly posted, “I HEAR BIDEN IS COMING TO UTAH,” before saying he was preparing his sniper rifle.

Reportedly, Robertson made threatening posts that mentioned U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, New York Attorney General Letitia James (who is overseeing a civil case against the Trump Organization), Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

You need not be clairvoyant to have predicted those reported threats. While Trump and his GOP have a long record of publicly denouncing the FBI and the Department of Justice, those verbal assaults are now even more heated. Since Trump has been indicted in a state court in Manhattan, and by federal grand juries in Florida and Washington, D.C., he has responded with vile and dangerously inciteful rhetoric. In posts on Truth Social, he’s called special counsel Jack Smith “deranged,” referred to former Vice President Mike Pence — a potential witness against Trump in the latest federal indictment — as “delusional” and claimed he could never get a fair trial from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who was randomly assigned to that case.

If it seems to you that you’ve seen this kind of thing before, you’re right. Trump used similar provocative and accusatory language after he lost the 2020 election. Then, on Jan. 6, 2021, many of his supporters violently attacked police officers, breached security and tried to stop certification of the Electoral College vote.


I supplied information about local Coatesville characters to a USA prosecutor & local Chester County prosecutors. Watching & on rare occasions testifying in court I’ve developed a respect for prosecutors & our justice system. With the assistance of Republicans Trump is attempting to destroy our justice systems. In doing so Trump is attempting to destroy our democracy. We must stop him.

 The hand wringing political machinations over convicting lifetime criminal Donald J. Trump’s one man crime spree is infuriating. 

Trump is a common criminal who happened to chose the Republican Party in his quest to be the biggest criminal of all time. He chose the Republican Party as his criminal yacht because the Democratic Party would not accept him.
