It would not be criminal in my mind very vague, no opportunity and no means to do any harm.

They said on Fox this morning that it wasn't criminal but dangerous. I just wonder what would happen if joe shmo said it on social media. Would he be investigated?

The main stream media has their backs on anything they do or say. But, when the POTUS or a conservative makes a comment, they're all over it. They only report the parts of the news that supports their liberal agenda.

Freedom of speech. He is not directly threatening them.

Its a Democrat so the double standard applies here, they can say whatever they want and its OK, Trump says something, the media will twist it or out right lie about it and cry that Trump should be impeached.

I guess what gets me is he said if the Justices keep making awful decisions, they will pay the price. That sounds like a threat to Fed judges and not a comment a Senator should make. If a Republican Senator said it, Katie barr the door lol.

Wasn't that long ago he was running his lips about the danger of trump remaining president.

This country will never move forward until trash like him are no longer in power. Those people care nothing about us, only about maintaining control/power over us.

Would you say the same if someone of your political party said something similar about someone on the other side? Free speech is free speech, even if the guy doing it is someone I don't care for.

I would not make a complaint as I know someone will but I still would know its wrong

He's doing some explain g today. Lies, but what else would you expect from him?

There has been a lot worse statements made here on this site about plenty of individuals just puffing his feathers.

Ok, if I said to you, you keep making post like that on here and I'll see to it you pay, what would happen? Either Paul or one of the mods would give me a time out or shun me forever, like they should. This is a Senator who imo, crossed the line. I am all about free speech, big time. However, where is the line from protected free speech and yelling fire, at a picture show?

Straight from Wikipedia.....Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. Threatening the President of the United States is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, punishable by up to 5 years of imprisonment, that is investigated by the United States Secret Service.[1] Threatening other officials is a Class C or D felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes, that is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When national boundaries are transcended by such a threat, it is considered a terrorist threat.[2]

When a threat is made against a judge, it can be considered obstruction of justice.[3] Threatening federal officials' family members is also a federal crime; in enacting the law, the Committee on the Judiciary stated that "Clearly it is a proper Federal function to respond to terrorists and other criminals who seek to influence the making of Federal policies and interfere with the administration of justice by attacking close relatives of those entrusted with these tasks."[4]

There are three elements of the offense of making an illegal threat: (i) there must be a transmission in interstate commerce; (ii) there must be a communication containing the threat; (iii) and the threat must be a threat to injure the person of another.[

What are you saying goose?

That the Senator from New York isn’t going to be charged with a felony.

My bad big rob, I didn't get the memo that says you speak for not only goose, but everybody.

Just trying to be helpful is all...

Can you let me know again that Mike is out, I enjoy hearing it.

I really look forward to November when the media gets to whine and begrudgingly announce that Donald J Trump is re-elected President of these United States of America.
