Ryan Reilly of HuffPost told MSNBCs Rachel Maddow:
I think the threats more broadly are getting more attention as we go. I can report that there were some prosecutors who were working on the January 6 case that have received threats, and that is something the FBIis looking into and urging anyone to communicate when they receive those sort of things.
But because there is this huge political movement bubbling up on the right, in fact, someone who is formally on Trumps campaign is organizing this movement and this rally next month to sort of gather in support of people who have been locked up ahead of trial. The people locked up pre-trial at this moment are some dangerous folks. Overall they are caught on video committing violence against law enforcement and believe in these delusional conspiracy theories about a stolen election, and in many cases have expressed their desire to continue fighting this battle.

One day, the trump thing will die off (either metaphysically or physically), and these boneheads will be just your ordinary everyday criminals doing time or living the rest of their lives with a record.

All bluster and no prosecution. You'd think threatening career service government employees would be a crime of some sort, wouldn't you?
Get something done or shut up about doing something. Along that line, don't go by what people say, go by what actions they take.

There continue to a high level of threats made to elected officials in DC. By no coincidence, they primarily target Democrats. More, we are seeing threats made to school board members. People need to be prosecuted and face real consequences.
