I’m also wondering why, since she’s the wife of a sitting senator, it wasn’t immediately a federal case...
Why was there even discretion on the part of the Cochran campaign about this? Looks to me like there would have been only one recourse, and that was to call in secret service or whoever handles this type of threat against a sitting senator’s wife.
Did they contact the secret service in a timely fashion?
I think it would have been the Capitol Police, not the Secret Service.
