After Judge Emmet Sullivan said he wouldn't dismiss Michael Flynn's case just yet, 52-year Frank Caporusso of Long Island allegedly left him this scary voice mail.

LONG ISLAND
Feds, sources: LI man threatened federal judge who handled ex-national security chief's case

A Manorville man has been arrested and charged with threatening the life of a federal judge in the District of Columbia, according to court records.

Frank J. Caporusso, 52, was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Long Island after his indictment by a federal grand jury in Washington for threatening the life of the unnamed judge, court papers say.

Sources familiar with the case, however, say that the unnamed judge was Emmet Sullivan who has figured prominently in the news because of his role in declining to immediately dismiss the case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.

The court papers say that Caporusso was charged in August in Washington with threatening to kill the judge and making the threat in a communication in interstate commerce.
