From Hackwhackers:
In a “60 Minutes” segment last night on the attempted assassination last July of Federal District Judge Esther Salas, in which her son was killed and husband seriously wounded in their own home, the crisis of security for Federal judges was explored. Over the past 5 years, coinciding with the Trump era, there was an increase in threats against Federal judges of 400% according to the report, to some 4,000 last year. The report noted that the FBI found evidence that the killer involved in the Salas murder was also targeting Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
An ominous revelation, but one which shouldn’t surprise us, involved the case of Federal Judge James Robart. After issuing a temporary restraining order against white supremacist autocrat Donald “Mango Mussolini” Trump’s anti-Muslim travel ban, Trump attacked the judge twice on Twitter, resulting in thousands of threats against the judge.
