In reply to the discussion: Judge Merchan just hit TFG with a gag order. [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,412 posts)12. NYPD "logged 89 threats against the district attorney, his family or employees of his office in 2023"
The New York City Police Department had only logged one threat against the district attorney and his office in the 15 months before Mr Trump rallied his supporters in protest of this investigation and indictment, the filing states.
But the agencys threat assessment unit logged an extraordinary surge in threat activity that began on the very day Mr Trump began targeting him and other New York officials, they added.
That unit logged 89 threats against the district attorney, his family or employees of his office in 2023, the first of which occurred the same day that the former president called on his supporters to protest and take our nation back, the filing states.
Police reviewed 600 threatening phone calls and emails in March of last year alone, as the office prepared to indict the former president.

And yet, according to CNBC, Trump has been allowed to continue to rouse the rabble against Bragg himself:
Merchans order still allows Trump to speak out about Alvin Bragg, the D.A. prosecuting the former president on charges of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Trump has, since Jan 6th 2021, been inciting violence against representatives of the USA. And a judge won't stop it, because Trump has the backing of one of the 2 established parties in his intimidation and treason.
