The U.S. Attorney in Philadelphia released this statement today. The text of an accompanying affidavit is also below.
PRESS RELEASE
PHILADELPHIA - Today, a two-count complaint and warrant was filed charging Norman Leboon with threatening to kill United States Congressman Eric Cantor and his family, and threatening to kill Congressman Eric Cantor, who is an official of the United States, announced United States Attorney Michael L. Levy and FBI Special Agent in Charge Jan Fedarcyk. As set forth in the affidavit to the complaint and warrant, in or about late March, 2010, Leboon created and then transmitted a YouTube video to Google over the internet, in which he threatened to kill Congressman Cantor and his family. No harm came to the Congressman or his family as a result of Leboon's threats.
"The Department of Justice takes threats against government officials seriously, especially threats to kill or injure others," said Levy. "Whether the reason for the threat is personal or political, threats are not protected by the First Amendment and are crimes."

I’m not going to read this article. I’m going to watch the report on CNNMSNBCCBSABCNBC. Or, maybe, I’ll just sit back and watch Rachel Maddow discuss it tonight.

Obama to blame?

Very much.
There goes that damn MSM inciting violence again
Norman Leboon
Sheesh. Sounds like a Freeper screen name.
Between this and the situation in Michigan, things look bad.
Much like the bullet that hit Cantor’s office last week, I’m sure this was just a “random” threat.
Who shot at Rep. Cantor’s window?
This idiot made the threat on You Tube.

Might as well turn off the TV. This story will be buried within the hour.
“Disabled” yet he had over $500 to give Zero.
This is obviously a false report. No Muslim would ever kill anyone. Obama told me so.
You’re good!
The lawsuit alleges that Verizon constructed a dedicated fiber optic line from New Jersey to a large military base in Quantico, Virginia, that allowed government officials to gain access to all communications flowing through the carrier’s operations center. A former consultant who worked on internal security will later say he had tried numerous times to install safeguards on the line to prevent hacking on the system, as he was doing for other lines at the operations center, but he was prevented from doing so by a senior security official. One of the allegations against Verizon in the lawsuit is made by Philadelphia resident Norman LeBoon, who says after he read of the alleged surveillance of US citizens, he began asking Verizon if his landline communications were being shared. LeBoon says he eventually spoke with “Ellen” in Verizon customer service, who told him, “I can tell you, Mr. LeBoon, that your records have been shared with the government, but that’s between you and me.… They [Verizon] are going to deny it because of national security. The government is denying it and we have to deny it, too. Around here we are saying that Verizon has ‘plausible deniability.’” [Truthdig, 8/9/2007]My source is here. He's only mentioned in the Truthdig article, but apparently he was part of the suit. A moonbat in good standing, this one.
bump
Did I miss CNN and MSNBC announcing an ALERT to watch out for Islamic Militia type folks???
Religion of Peace (TM) alert!!
Cue the bacon!
wait a minute. This makes no sense. I thought it was Republican tea partier types that were advocating violence against Democratic politicians? Cantor is a Republican and this guy was obviously a Democrat. How can this be possible?
