Warning to LET: "Stop reporting on Virginia militia or your editors will be charged as felons."
Law Enforcement Today ^ | 12/18/2019 | LET Staff

Posted on 12/19/2019 2:00:10 PM PST by Tench_Coxe

But first – this message came in Wednesday:

“Your reporting about the growing numbers in the militia create a clear and present threat to America. As part of Congress, I’m giving you fair warning that this is the equivalent of shouting ‘fire’ in a movie theater. If your reporting incites violence, or can even be tied to it, we will make sure to charge your editors with felonies,” wrote the person.

It’s worth pointing out the message came in anonymously – so we’re pretty confident it wasn’t exactly a sitting congressman.

Obviously some are getting nervous about what is going on in Virginia. The threat was probably some Media Matters or Soros hack.

I am wondering if this is going to lead to a showdown, especially since it is happening so close to the DC cesspit.

I doubt this came from a sitting member of Congress. Since when do those pukes have indictment authority?

This came from a Democrat who thinks we’re stupid.
Threatening law enforcement with an indictment is pretty ignorant.

As part of Congress? What does that even mean? You’re a janitor in the building that Congress meets in?

When “olde” guys like myself were in school, we were taught that the letters “DC” stood for “District of Columbia”.
Today is appears to stand for “Den of Corruption.”
I kinda prefer the old way...more class.

This is what they do. They do it to Hallmark, they do it to you, they do it to everyone.

This is what PC looklike. (political correctness)

It is an effort to silence any opinion other than their favorite groups and their members.

Would love to see this person charged with blackmail. It was a threat, or else...

Never heard of this rag before.

Sounds like a clickbait hoax to me.

Law Enforcement Today reported on how Tazewell County, Virginia is crafting a militia to defend the Constitution in the state. And within hours, we were flooded with thousands of emails from people across the state – police officers, veterans, and patriotic Americans – who said they are joining.

The rabid left is like the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz, full of fire and smoke, but is being exposed as a fraud, a paper tiger, them fiddling with the MSM's volume controls, behind the curtain.

When the little folks stand up and are counted, the Left doesn't stand a chance in the fight.

Sounds like both the first and second amendments are involved.

Wait until they start getting phone calls from the FBI. That was a favorite Harry Reid staffer scam. I let him ramble on about threatening emails for a while until I explained the FBI did their business in person and he would find out since he was too stupid to block caller ID and I was going to report him for impersonating a federal officer. The backtracking,apologizing was epic,too much fun.

Apparently, when the Dems control the House, they claim to have supreme power in this country. If they demand testimony or documents from the Executive branch, the Executive must hand them over. Even going to courts is now an “obstruction of Congress”, an impeachable offense.

What it come down to is if the fascists don’t like what you say, they want you to shut the f-— up. This threat to free speech ought to confirm to any doubter what they intend to do if they get your guns. You can then kiss your individual liberties goodbye. They’re cowards and thugs as the message reflects. Things are going to get tricky because there will be Soros paid instigators and infiltrators in the mix (Antifa types) trying to stir the pot to create chaos. Take your cues from trusted, Constitutionally sworn law enforcement officials. The Richmond scum know they can’t do anything to control you without the aid of a weapon, which is why they want you defenseless.

Part of me wants to believe this article must have been written by Russian or Chinese trolls.

Another part of me says that the threat sounds just like what the ‘Rats would say.

And if the movie theater IS on fire they are supposed to be quiet?
Like the The Brooklyn Theater fire of December 5, 1876. Fire broke out back stage, but no one yelled fire UNTIL TOO LATE! Nearly 300 people died in that fire.

And Virginia IS ON FIRE!

There’s been a lot of talk about an impending CWII in recent years, and I believe that if it ever happens, the flash-point will be an attempt by government - whether a state government or the federal government - to confiscate legally-owned firearms from law-abiding citizens. Virginia seems to be edging towards that kind of scenario.
