Each page yesterday took him just a little more than a minute, so this will take >30 mins.
Between that & the testimony readbacks, also expected to take >30 mins, there will likely be >1 hour this morning w/the jury in the courtroom, not actively deliberating.
Fmr DC Metropolitan PD Officer #MichaelFanone’s 78-year-old mother was the victim of a #swatting call hours after he spoke outside the criminal #TrumpTrial in #NewYork.
During the #insurrection on #Jan6, Fanone was nearly killed by #Trump supporters while protecting congresspeople & staff inside the Capitol building.
Eine Gruppe Cyberkrimineller belästigt ihre Opfer seit Jahren mit massenhaften Pizzabestellungen. Dafür nutzt sie nach Recherchen von Kontraste und Spiegel offenbar eine eigene Computeranwendung.
This is a #travestyOfJustice. This #British guy made a fake call to a US #terrorism hotline with the intention of "#swatting" a fellow #gamer in America. The #SWATteam actually showed up and shot the intended target in the face resulting in permenant disfigurement. The #UK court sentenced him to 2mo in jail, and £1000 in compensation to the victim. That's nothing. That's not even a slap on the wrist for the lifelong damages he caused.
Recherche zu Internet-Trollen: "Sie wollen Menschen kaputtmachen"
Eine Gruppe von Internet-Trollen begeht seit Jahren organisiert Angriffe auf Live-Streamer. Das belegen Recherchen von Kontraste und des Spiegel. Ein Datensatz zeigt: Die Gruppe "NWO" macht auch Jagd auf Politiker. Von D. Laufer.
In #Georgia, #FultonCounty Superior Court Judge Scott #McAfee, who is presiding over a #Trump#criminal case involving allegations related to overturning the 2020 election results, has also faced #threats, including a #swatting incident at his #Atlanta-area home in Jan. A spox for the responding local PD said the investigation had been turned over to the #FBI.
#TFG emboldens #swatting, inciting #deaththreats, bullying, witness intimidation... Mobster tactics have been normalized by Republicans bc they saw how TFG gained wealth & influence.
Tomlinson has refused to cave despite the ongoing threats to his life, & he & his wife suffering from PTSD & chronic insomnia.
Rather than relocating or going into hiding, he said he'd invested in a top-of-the line security system & bought a “small arsenal of weapons” to protect himself.
“As a result of Schumer's push, the FBI announced it would finally begin tracking swatting incidents nationwide. Hundreds of law enforcement agencies and police departments now rely on an FBI database to share information on #swatting incidents.”
It's been over 3 weeks since the #SWATTING attempts against #JudgeChutkan#JackSmith & #JudgeEngoron but no arrests.
Hey @alanfeuer could you update this story?
Why is this not urgent?
Can there be charges of obstruction of justice as Glenn Kirschner has suggested? Witness tampering? Terrorism?
Good news!
17-year-old alleged ‘serial swatter’ charged
Alan Filion threatened a mass shooting at the Masjid Al Hayy Mosque in Sanford, Florida, in a May 2023 phone call to law enforcement. Police say he made threats throughout the country
In the article you'll see it took months to find him & charge him. He "created several accounts on websites offering swatting services and “various IP addresses connected to these accounts” led to his home address."
Nikki Haley targeted in '#swatting' incident at her home
Authorities responded to the South Carolina home of Republican presidential candidate #NikkiHaley last month after a man claimed to have shot a woman & threatened to harm himself at her home, acc/to town records obtained by Reuters.
The previously unreported “swatting” incident is among a wave of #violent#threats, #bomb scares & other acts of #intimidation against #government officials, members of the #judiciary & #election administrators since the 2020 election that have alarmed #law enforcement ahead of this year’s U.S. presidential contest.
#Swatting cases have surged over the past two months, targeting mainly those who have opposed #Trump….
"A California teenager who allegedly used the handle Torswats to carry out a nationwide swatting campaign is being extradited to Florida to face felony charges, WIRED has learned."
The fact that Trump supporters have resorted to #SWATTING the Trump Prosecutors and Judges is proof that they are losing.
The more desperate they get, the more ridiculous it will become.
Shows you that even the Trumpers are starting to see that he's going down. #MAGA
Is there any doubt that the Republican Party is no longer a political operation, but instead has moved into domestic terrorism in support of #DearLeader?
I predict that there will come a day in the not-too-distant future when the #GOP is referred to in the same breath as any other international terrorist organization.
"Swatting increases in a declining democracy because it is what chaos agents do: it is the equivalent of the information warfare tactic of 'flooding the zone with shit,' to quote Steve Bannon."
"The goals are to debase the truth (is this a real emergency, or a fake one?), expose the swatter’s targets to psychological duress and possible physical harm; smear their reputations; and exhaust the resources of law enforcement officials, who are distracted from other operations and investigations."
#Trump won’t make his own closing argument in his #NewYork civil business fraud trial after his lawyers objected to the judge’s insistence that the former president would stick to “relevant” matters.
Judge Arthur Engoron rescinded permission on Wednesday, a day ahead of closing arguments in the trial. #legal
@GottaLaff now might be a good time to address all of the threats that judge Engoron's clerk got.. Have there been any arrests? Also, what about the #SWATTING threats to Judge #Chutkan? I expect threats coming towards he 3 appellate judges.
These are examples of failures of the justice system to protect the community.
Here's the #MAGA scum taking things even one step further than political criminal and mobster Roger Stone: A #swatting call against special counsel #JackSmith on #christmaseve, do these deplorable bastards have any decency left?
Swatting calls have seen deadly endings in the past repeatedly as in the US the police tends to soot first and ask after. So I would rate this as an attack on Smith's life, not just his privacy and his christmas celebration. #UnitedStates https://thehill.com/homenews/4397405-special-counsel-jack-smith-targeted-swatting/
