A new court filing has revealed ā€œhundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemiticā€ threats made to Judge Arthur Engoron, who is currently presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York and trying to get the gag order he imposed against Trump reinstated.

Trump already violated Engoronā€™s gag order twice, costing him $15,000. An appeals court paused the order last week, citing Trumpā€™s ā€œconstitutional and statutory rights.ā€ But the threats have caused serious security concerns for Engoron and his staff, especially his principal law clerk Allison Greenfield.

One voicemail, according to an affidavit filed by court officer Captain Charles Hollon, stated: ā€œTrust me. Trust me when I say this. I will come for you. I donā€™t care. Ainā€™t nobody gonna stop me either.ā€ Another said: ā€œResign now, you dirty, treasonous piece of trash snake. We are going to get you and anyone of you dirty, backstabbing, lying, cheating American. You are nothing but a bunch of communists. We are coming to remove you permanently.ā€

    I mean, his rights? Isnā€™t the point of the judicial system to strip away some rights when you do something illegal?

      in this case its all about the drawn out appeal. trumps famous not for winning, but for dragging cases out so long it doesnt matter anymore.

      in this case, hes already guilty hes just literally throwing tantrums to create noise that might allow for an appeal. and its a longshot, as no one appears to be giving him an inch of appealable activity.

      its painful to watch, but its all about the appeal avoidance.
