A deep unease trickled through Jacob Glick’s entire body. He had started a virtual deposition of Jim Watkins, the large, scruffy QAnon conspiracy theorist who runs 8kun, a website filled with hateful, racist content that included calls for violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Glick, then an investigative counsel for the House select committee probing the Jan. 6 attack, made the customary introductions of his colleagues. Watkins jotted down all the names.
“It already felt creepier — and I’ve been in some creepy ones,” Glick said.
Glick was among the staff on the now-disbanded Jan. 6 panel who say their work exposed them to threats, raised doubts about their safety and required additional safety precautions. Their experiences, recounted in interviews, serve as a high-profile example of concerns among Capitol Hill staffers about whether their work could make them a target for political violence.
At one point during the deposition, Watkins told Glick that his website typically got 300,000 to 3 million visits in a day, but it would spike the day of the deposition. Glick asked why and got a chilling response.
“Because they know I’m talking to you,” Watkins said with a grin.
Glick calmly responded, “Got it.”
...
“As a gay Jewish lawyer who works for Jamie Raskin, am I all of the sudden going to become this linchpin of QAnon?” Glick said.

Members of the select committee and staff were exposed to a unique barrage of threats as they were conducting their work. The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., had a police officer stationed outside of his home and still travels with security.
“Obviously since Jan. 6 and my tenure on the committee it has continued to escalate,” Thompson said. “There’s a constant beat of threats.”

They did not “staff a J6 committee”, they ran a coup.
What a poofter-snifter.
More like a Star Chamber.
“As a gay Jewish lawyer who works for Jamie Raskin, am I all of the sudden going to become this linchpin of QAnon?” Glick said.
Justice in the good old USA, from Raskin and his commie cohorts.
Now they’re playing the victim. It’s amazing.
Nothing said about the scores in jail for years for walking around a building
This whole article is one big scare quote.
While these people were worried because they’re being called stupid, J6 defendants were in a DC Gulag being beaten and starved.
“A deep unease trickled through Jacob Glick’s entire body.”
I imagine he pretty much lives with that feeling 24/7.
I hope they never forget the members of that committee or the people that worked for the committee. That was the coup. Those people who formed an illegal committee and destroyed the evidence. They lied to the American people. There was no crime they did not commit, even murder. These people are heinous. I hope some day justice in the form of imprisonment happens to them. I don’t understand why they should get protection when Kennedy does not. These people aren’t sort of evil. They are pure evil. The kind that does not even realize how evil they are, like many NAZIs. Psychopaths, every one. Like there were NAZI hunters there should be hunters of the J6 committee members and staff.
What threats? 🤷
Nobody ever makes these fake victims prove it.
So Bennie gets police protection, but SCOTUS justices who get assassination attempts do not.
Lesson for the day kids:
Don’t become a Morally Bankrupt Ethically Corrupt Lying POS doing the bidding of Pure Evil people who only have lust in their hearts to have complete control over their fellow man, and things like this will NEVER happen to you.
“A deep unease trickled through Jacob Glick’s entire body.”
AS he was bent over a chair by Jamie Raskin.
They deserve all the threats that are delivered in their direction, as far as I am concerned.
Those who weaponize government forfeit their right to life, liberty, and happiness
Why are people still in the Gulag?
They should not be able to step outside, much less walk about unmolested.
I personally don’t like that anyone on our side is threatening someone on the other side. But I certainly don’t lose any sleep when it happens either.
Such activity lets the target know that some folks have differing opinions and are not as restrained about it as I may be. Consider also that when the target sees a significant number of disagreeing opinions being voiced, it may cause him to re-evaluate his position.
In any case, anything that causes a leftist to lose sleep is OK by me.
Mostly, IMO, because there is, for all intents and purposes, no opposition party.
