(28,979 posts)5. The FBI Is Investigating Trump Supporters For Threatening 1/6 Prosecutors
Link to tweet
Ryan Reilly of HuffPost told MSNBCs Rachel Maddow:
I think the threats more broadly are getting more attention as we go. I can report that there were some prosecutors who were working on the January 6 case that have received threats, and that is something the FBIis looking into and urging anyone to communicate when they receive those sort of things.
But because there is this huge political movement bubbling up on the right, in fact, someone who is formally on Trumps campaign is organizing this movement and this rally next month to sort of gather in support of people who have been locked up ahead of trial. The people locked up pre-trial at this moment are some dangerous folks. Overall they are caught on video committing violence against law enforcement and believe in these delusional conspiracy theories about a stolen election, and in many cases have expressed their desire to continue fighting this battle.
