[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] And I thought 'Biden's an idiot' was going to get me in trouble!
The story detailed how Juncaj repeatedly told McElyea that she and her colleagues would be killed, according to her documentation of the calls, which were made on Jan. 7, 2021. After the threats, McElyea, a former U.S. Marine, called the Nevada Capitol Patrol and sent the state police agency a transcript of the calls, Reuters previously reported. An officer contacted the man, whom police would later identify as Juncaj. Despite Juncaj's multiple threatening calls, state police decided not to charge Juncaj, Reuters found. State detectives concluded that Juncaj's threats were 'protected' political speech and not criminal, because the suspect merely said he 'wished' election workers would die, according to a summary of the case. The Reuters report, however, contradicted the detective's assessment. McElyea's transcripts of the calls show that the man repeatedly told her she and her colleagues would be killed. Juncaj could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday by Reuters. He said in an interview for the September report that he 'didn't threaten anybody.' Following the Reuters story, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation into Juncaj, according to a Nevada state government source. The indictment is the task force's second case, and the third known federal charge overall for threatening election workers since the 2020 vote. In December 2020, federal prosecutors charged a New Hampshire woman with threatening a Michigan official. The Justice Department's election threats task force was announced last June, shortly after Reuters published reports documenting more than 850 threats and menacing messages to U.S. election workers. These included about 100 that legal experts say could be prosecuted under federal law. Almost all of the threats have been inspired by Trump's relentless false claims that the 2020 vote was 'rigged' against him, Reuters found. Justice Department officials say they are now investigating dozens of similar cases. The task force revealed its first arrest on Jan. 21, when it charged a Texas man with making violent threats against Georgia election and government officials. Prosecutors accused Chad Christopher Stark of posting a Craigslist message on Jan. 5, 2021 entitled, 'Georgia Patriots it's time to kill.' Reuters couldn't reach Stark, who will appear in court on Feb. 4. Federal authorities are also investigating an anonymous man who threatened Vermont officials, local law enforcement sources familiar with the probe told Reuters. That man's threats were featured in a November Reuters investigation. In response to that report, Vermont lawmakers are considering new legislation to make it easier to prosecute people who threaten election officials. Election officials all over the country are being threatened and harassed, and those engaging in this domestic terrorism must be held accountable, said David Becker, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research. |

| #4 Let us not forget the whole picture. "Despite Juncaj's multiple threatening calls..." The US Code 47 § 223 very clear on repeated threatening Phone Calls. |

| #3 'I hope you all go to jail for treason. I hope your children get molested. You are all going to (expletive) die' Sentence #1 (assuming the quotes are accurate, never trust blindly) is protected speech. #2 is just tacky and ill-mannered, but not a crime. #3 is a fact |

| #2 This in some ways may have a good side. The Fed's has now clearly established the current grounds for Verbal Assault type arrests. Think of all the threats we have Max Mouth, and others in congress saying to Trump supporters. Threats not made in the protect halls of steps of Congress? Think of all the ANTI-FA & BLM video taped remarks about killing or injuring elected, appointed or federal/state/Police workers. Remember Kathy Griffin's bloodied, decapitated Donald Trump head? Remember washed up actors Tom Arnold & Peter Fonda telling Democrats to attack / Kidnap young Barron Trump? I see a lot of people that need ARRESTING under the Equal Justice clauses of the US Constitution & US Code. Now regarding what the NV guy said. There is NO place for that type of behavior. We are NOT LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS, DEMOCRATS, ANTI-FA, or BLM. So having said that, If I were a police officer and heard him made the sames threats, I would have arrested his butt on the spot. |
