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€

    Considering what happened to the January 6th insurrectionists, even if theyā€™re caught, theyā€™ll get a slap on the wrist.

        Iā€™ll have to find a tracker, but I think most of the insurrectionists received a very mild sentence, if anyā€¦

          I think the only big punishment for them was taking away their guns since theyā€™re felons now. Though I doubt that will stop them

        Maybe the ā€œregularā€ people, but show me one of the GOP members who has been put in prison? Especially the orange stain himself.

          Thatā€™s not what the conversation is about. The Jan 6th insurrectionists are what weā€™re talking about.

            Exactly, and who instigated, motivated, and coordinated it all? Where are the Turning Point people with busses to bring folks to DC? What about the congressmen who were tweeting the location of other representatives?
