The Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an investigation into Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he allegedly threatened conservative Supreme Court justices. Schumer’s remarks have drawn sharp criticism from both parties after interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. quickly aligned his agenda with President Donald Trump’s political views. Since his appointment on January 20, Martin has directed top officials to review how prosecutions related to the Capitol riot were handled, particularly following Trump’s mass pardons, while cautioning subordinates against disclosing or criticizing his actions.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
In his letter, Martin warned Schumer that he takes threats against public officials very seriously.
Schumer acknowledged that he should not have made such threats, claiming that “they didn’t come out the way I intended to. I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in a strong language. I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat.”
Despite this, Schumer declined to apologize for his comments. Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts seemed to speak out on his behalf.
Guess he is reaping the whirlwind.
“Despite this, Schumer declined to apologize for his comments. Instead, Chief Justice John Roberts seemed to speak out on his behalf.”
Of course Roberts came to the rescue! Roberts is a member of the deep state.
Run Chucky Run!!!
Need to include any rhetoric of Chucky blaming Trump for inciting the insurrection based on his capital speech as rational for the investigation. If he stated Trump was responsible and should be punished than Chucky should be held to the same standard.
Yeah he’s an arrogant so and so and should be punished for treason.
Obviously.
Along with the Clinton crime cartel, Obeyme, Xiden and Nazi Piglosi.
Exactly.
“I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in a strong language.”
Trump is from Queens. He uses strong language. What’s the difference? Can’t have it both ways Chuckie!
Actually threatening a judge, juror, or prosecutor is a Federal Crime. At the time was shocked at the brazen nature of Schumer's threat. I thought that he should have been prosecuted at the time, but Trump was tangled up fighting off the Russia Hoax.
The DOJ is now employing six ways to Sunday on Chuck Schmuck.
It’s almost time for the media to unironically being to howl about this being politically motivated prosecution, and how it’s bad for “our democracy”.
Schumer forgot himself and opened his mouth.I think they got a conviction here. This was a court case under consideration. Bye bye, Chuckey!
lol 😂
Chuck Chuck WTF
In a row you should have your ducks
If you don’t you’re out of luck
Cluck cluck off to prison with you Chuck
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.”
I hope they have him schumering his drawers before long.
Ok, I'm an 11 year Veteran from mostly conservative So. Orange County, California and I say you are full of shit and should have died off many years ago. But I'm not making any kind of threat. However, I would be tickled red if you just die in bed.
the Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries just called for people to fight Trump in the streets.
According to what Democrats tried to charge Trump with, that is a call to insurrection and possibly a RICO violation to boot!
Did he say them on the Senate floor?
