SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – U.S. District Judge Sue E. Myerscough today sentenced a Rochester, Ill., man, Randall E. Tarr, to serve two years of probation with a requirement that Tarr complete mental health counseling and treatment after he pleaded guilty to leaving a voicemail message in which he threatened to shoot U.S. Congressman Rodney Davis. In addition, Tarr, 65, was ordered to pay a fine of $2,000.

The government, in consultation with the victim, and in joint agreement with defendant’s counsel, recommended to the court that Tarr serve two years of probation with the additional condition that he be required to participate in mental health counseling and treatment as directed by the U.S. Probation Office. Tarr was also ordered to have no contact with the Congressman, his office, and members of his family.

In July 2020, Tarr pleaded guilty to calling the Decatur, Ill., office of Congressman Davis in the early morning hours of Nov. 25, 2019. Tarr then left a profanity-filled voicemail message in which he threatened to shoot the congressman.

According to court documents, the voicemail message was forwarded to U.S. Capitol Police, in Washington, D.C. Through caller ID, police identified Tarr as the alleged caller and U.S. Capitol Police contacted the Rochester Police Department to ask officers to contact Tarr. Rochester police officers made initial contact with Tarr on Nov. 25, at his residence, and FBI special agents subsequently interviewed Tarr.  

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanner K. Jacobs represented the government at today’s hearing. The U.S. Capitol Police, the FBI, and the Rochester Police Department conducted the investigation.

THat’s what the criminals are wondering. It’s an ongoing investigation and the DOJ aren’t signalling what they are doing and the traitors still remaining are trying to find out. Some in the FBI are corrupt so it’s likely election investigation is directed from within the DOJ but shielded from remaining FBI traitors by outside Federal investigators.

True.

I guess it’s about distinguishing the rant from the precursor.

YEP...

This guy was sure lucky he got probation for threatening to shoot a republican congressman. If he had threatened to shoot a Democrat, he probably wold have died "resisting arrest."

HE FACED FIFTEEN YEARS and would have had a wonderful time in prison based on his fashion sense:

"Randall E. Tarr, 64, is accused of threatening Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., in a profane voice mail in which he says he just saw Davis on TV, according to a criminal complaint. Identifying himself as an eight-year military veteran and "sharpshooter," the Rochester, Illinois, resident said he would like to shoot Davis' "head off," the complaint states."

Your poster should be pasted over those stupid “Love Trumps Hate” signs. It demonstrates who the haters are.
