At a minimum
@Tom_Winter they have Aggravated Harassment -
They have him for the simplest count, I believe, for Threats in Interstate Communications. 18 USC 875
-
Minimum felonies are still felonies.
-
In local law, it’s only a Misdemeanor. I don’t know if the Federal statute is much higher.
-
He faces up to 5 years in prison.

Cheezus, these people are crazy. This is what trump has unleashed.
@GOP it's not trump that needs protecting, its the People who he lies about. He's unleashed a real violence upon the People of the US, especially those trying to tell the truth about who he is & what he's doing. -
Are you going to pay for the costs for body guard protection against trump and his cult of loons? These are the people that you are pandering to. You're now enabling a criminal conspiracy against the media. A lawyer needs to step up to sue the GOP for enabling violence.

They are the only ones that can stop this atrocity & they refuse. It's all on the
@GOP now.#CriminalCoConspirators

"enemy of the people"... where have I heard that before? Oh, that's right, Stalin! And Goebbels too. But it seems like it was sometime more recently that someone was calling the press that. Don't tell me - I'll figure it out

I knew this would happen as soon as I read the orange one's "enemy of the people" garbage. Actually, I expected more threats like this. Many of his base seems to have some type of cognitive impairment, if their tweets are an indication of their mental faculties.

Their votes are also an indication of their mental faculties.
