Is a United States Senator making criminal threats against the @ProjectLincoln? It sounds like it. @JohnCornyn. The first Ammendment is out shield and our sword. The people who locked kids in cages, orphaned them, lied about a deadly pandemic that has killed hundreds of thousands

Senator John Cornyn

Doxing is illegal. These guys better check with their lawyers unless they want to spend their windfall gains on criminal defense lawyers:

The Lincoln Project, a well-funded political group, wants to make it easier to cancel Trump alumni. https://wsj.com/articles/the-lincoln-blacklist-11610494450?reflink=desktopwebshare_twitter… via @WSJ

2. I don't completely understand "doxing" and I doubt Cornyn does either.

[Klaralven]

9. I doubt whether doxing is generally illegal either

I think it depends on the situation and intent.

Besides, everyone knows that "security by obscurity" is a failed strategy.

3. Lol! These guys just have no concept of any aspect of the law, do they?

5. Also thedon't understand government, civics, rule of law, basic manners.

I hope the LP goes after Cornyn.

4. Quick Cronyn....start a Senate Investigation.

There's nothing else going on...

6. The WSJ carried an op-ed against the Lincoln Project today.

That's where Cornyn's getting his info. Apparently the op-ed accused LP of doxxing Trumpers. LP doesn't dox anybody , they just use publicly available information on donors etc.

7. He's just spouting talking points

that are being pushed in the alternate universe. LincolnProject doesn't "doxx".

They still haven't learned their lesson. More big corps. need to shut off the funding.

8. I think that's the kind of response Rick Wilson loves

Does this bother you? OK, we'll do twice as much.

10. Oh, John. Do you really want to go there?

[Gothmog]

11. Where did the Lincoln Project dox anyone

Identifying GOP contributors is not doxing
