Secret Service Aware of Threats Lin Wood Has Made Against Pence On Parler

Secret Service Tells Mediaite They’re Aware of Threats Lin Wood Has Made Against Pence On Parler

The United States Secret Service confirmed to Mediaite on Saturday night that they are aware of the threats made by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood against Vice President Mike Pence on Parler.

“We are aware of the comments and take all threats against our protectees seriously,” a USSS spokesperson told Mediaite Saturday evening regarding Wood’s threats.

“Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST,” Wood declared on Parler early Thursday morning, which has since been taken down by the alternative social media platform.

Asked by Mediaite about the threats he directed at Pence, Wood attempted to backtrack on his online remarks.

“I made NO threat,” Wood told Mediaite on Saturday night. “I do not believe in violence. I do believe in the rule of law. I have reliable evidence that Pence has engaged in acts of treason. My comments were rhetorical hyperbole. Any journalist should understand that concept. If my information is accurate, law enforcement will address what punishment, if any, should be administered to Pence as they do with all criminals.”

Further asked by Mediaite if he was contacted by the United States Secret Service, Wood said he had not been.

“I have not been contacted by the Secret Service nor do I expect to be. I am a man of God and believe in the rule of law,” Wood stated.

My theory is that Tech is working closely with the FBI to curtail coordinated efforts for more violence over the next few weeks. They won't be able to catch it all but will prevent most of it going to the general public. One of the Crazy Congresswomen asked on Parler to day for folks to post their names and phone numbers so she can keep a list. So they may move to texting. (Sorry I don't recall her name and I'm too exhausted at this point to search for it again) I'm off to bed....

The leap of logic there could span the Grand Canyon
