The Department of Justice announced that a former Voice of America employee has been indicted for making death threats against not only Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), but also directed at her family and members of her staff.

A press release issued Thursday from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Michael G. Sullivan of the United States Capitol Police said that the Maryland resident has been charged "with influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment."

"Seth Jason, of Edgewater, Maryland, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police and the Anne Arundel Police Department early this morning, July 17, 2025," the release read. "Jason will make his initial appearance this afternoon before a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court."

It went on to point out that the threatening calls were made inside the Voice of America headquarters.

About time someone was arrested. This BS has been going on too long, constant threats against Republicans especially against Trump, even by celebrities, and not one of them ever gets arrested except for the punk who tried to shoot him at the golf course.

This dork is just doing as instructed by dem leadership.
The call to violence is spread wide in hopes that it reaches those with the sickest of minds and the inability to act in a responsible manner.

Exactly, he’s an attack drone.

Democrats whip up the hatred to a frenzy level and hope some fringe lunatic comes out of the woodwork, its been going on for a while and no one is connecting the dots.

The bernie supporter attacks the Republican baseball practice with an AR.

2 psychos try to kill Trump.

ICE is being assaulted like never before.

Now this, and I’m sure I’m missing a few.

All because the left is yelling “hitler” “democracy is being threatened” “nazis”.

All designed to motivate some nutjob to take action and here we are.
