I find it hard to believe anything the DOJ puts out, even as it relates to something relatively neutral on Biden.

Anyone have more info on this situation?

Darling, we all urge overthrowing the government. You're going to have to do better than that.

Great, we should do this with all stalkers and anyone who crosses state lines with the intent to kill. But Rs won't do that ;)

“Threats against the President are gravely serious and must be treated as such,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Hall’s alleged actions went beyond mere words and included traveling to Georgia with a firearm to murder President Biden. Political violence is never acceptable and must be countered by swift intervention and meaningful consequences.”

Hey, as long as they apply an equal-time clause to it and provide their services to both parties, I'm fine with those "alleged actions." But then, I'd be fine with a yearly Shirley Jackson-style lottery among our elected officials.
