DOJ Opens Investigation into Chuck Schumer For Threatening Supreme Court Justices
2025-02-03
*Happy sigh* Sooooo much winning, and it’s only the beginning of the third week. What is this country going to look like 206 weeks from now? Because I lack the imagination to imagine it.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.16247 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
for threatening Supreme Court justices.

According to The Washington Post, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. is looking to scrutinize Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials.

Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump's Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would ''pay the price'' for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.

''I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,'' Schumer said at the time.

''You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.''

''We take threats against public officials very seriously,'' Martin wrote Schumer in a letter on January 21st. ''I look forward to your cooperation.''

#2  Ask the court to gag any comments on the investigation by Schumer. What was good for one pol is good for another pol.

#1  IIRC he did it on the steps of the Court, thus not the protected speech on the Senate floor.
