Schumer committed 2 felony counts of 18 U.S. Code § 115.
This law was put in place to protect federal judges from the mafia.

He has a “D” next to his name, that’s immunity.
I would not hold my breath waiting on the DOJ to do anything.
nothing will happen to chucky. this will fade in the wind in a matter of days.
Putting it another way, here’s what I heard from Schumer:
“If you don’t vote the way I want, we will do to you what we did to Antonin Scalia.”
