https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-indictment-kick-long-term-security-nightmare-rcna76155NEW YORK A grand jury indictment of former President Donald Trump over the hush money payment made to Stormy Daniels could set off an unprecedented security challenge for law enforcement, according to law enforcement and security analysts.
There are the practical logistics, of course, involving security around the courthouse if Trump makes an appearance an event that could draw crowds of supporters and detractors. An indictment would spark long-term issues, like responding to possible threats against law enforcement and judicial officials, as has occurred in other cases involving Trump.
The security challenges came into sharp view on Friday, as the FBI and the New York Police Department investigated a death threat and white powder sent to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose office is leading the Trump hush money investigation. The DA's office said that the substance was not determined to be dangerous, but, according to law enforcement sources, it accompanied a letter that read, "ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Police this week set up bike rack barricades the same kind that a pro-Trump mob dispensed with in seconds on Jan. 6, 2021 around the New York courthouse where a grand jury is deliberating and where the indictment could come down. Capitol Police, who were overwhelmed by the mob on Jan. 6, also said they are on the lookout for threats and told staffers that they may see an increased law enforcement presence, as NBC News previously reported.

prosecuted. Injustice angers many people.
Stop pandering to the MAGATs.
