"Those who target federal employees should know that we will investigate and prosecute these offenses..."

[KTB2025]

"Those who target federal employees should know that we will investigate and prosecute these offenses to the fullest extent of the law."

That is what Lindsey Halligan said yesterday. She was referencing a threat made against Richard Grenell who is a Trump buddy and guy of questionable ethics, but who certainly does NOT deserve to be threatened with violence (absolutely nobody deserves that).

So Lindsey Halligan is actually RIGHT on this one.

But will she keep being right? Maybe by going after that right-wing guy who, earlier in the year, made those "Watchlist" websites? Remember them? They were websites with the personal info of career civil servants and the word "TARGET" above their headshots.

Hard to target federal employees any more explicitly than by putting the word "TARGET" above their pics.

Or, hey, just write, Lindsey because I'm sure she is on this - her newfound commitment to protecting federal employees would certainly extend to those being harassed by extreme, right-wingers...

Separately, Happy New Year to our nation's federal employees. We sincerely appreciate your service during what has been an impossible year. By following the law, you are the last line of defense against a Trumpist takeover of the state. We hope your 2026 is better.

About the threats made in furtherance of the Jan 6th attempt to overturn the election.
