Neither #LauraLoomer nor #Musk mentioned the #Judge’s daughter had left her job before #Trump’s inauguration.
Loomer continued her attacks with 9 more posts in the ensuing days – & >600 calls & emails flooded #JohnMcConnell’s RI courthouse, including #DeathThreats & menacing messages taunting his #family, acc/to a court clerk & another person familiar w/the communications.

#Boasberg & #McConnell are among at least 11 federal #judges whose #families have faced threats of #violence or #harassment after they ruled against the new #Trump admin, a Reuters investigation found.
The broadsides are part of an #intimidation campaign directed at federal judges who have stood in the way of Trump’s moves to dramatically expand #PresidentialAuthority & slash the federal govt.
