'Going To Slaughter Your Whole F**king Family!' Blistering New Jack Smith Filing Blames Trump Rants For Threats

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : June 14, 2024), ECF No. 11 at 3.
54% : Ex. 5; see Trump, 88 F.4th at 1010.
53% : Ex. 5; see Trump, 23-cr-00257, (D.D.C. Sept. 29, 2023)
49% : Nor should Trump receive any credit for merely complying with this Court's order to redact, given that he gratuitously included FBI agents' names in exhibits to court filings that he said should be public, see, e.g., ECF Nos. 262 (Motion to Compel) and 566 (Motion to Suppress), and opposed the Government's efforts to redact them, see, e.g., ECF Nos. 261 and 312.
46% : Trump, for his part, has "repeatedly" made "threatening public statements," including a message of vengeance the day after his initial appearance in court in United States v. Trump, 23- cr-00257 (D.D.C.): "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!"
45% : On August 10, Shiffer posted, "When they try to make you fear, hold up a sign saying, 'We love Trump,' when they come for you, kill them."
34% : Deploying such knowingly false and inflammatory language in the combustible atmosphere that Trump has created poses an imminent danger to law enforcement that must be addressed before more violence occurs.
33% : Hours after Trump posted on his social media platform (Truth Social) about the search on August 8, see Ex. 3, Shiffer also posted on Truth Social, "Kill F.B.I. on sight," advocated "combat" against the FBI, and stated, "Trump showed us we could still elect," Ex. 1; see also Ex. 4 (spreadsheet of additional posts).
33% : Just last week, another of Trump's supporters was charged with making threats by calling the cell phone number of an FBI agent associated with the Hunter Biden case and claiming that, if Trump does not win the election, FBI agents will be "hunt[ed] down" and "slaughter[ed]" in their own homes, after which "[w]e're going to slaughter your whole fucking family."
29% : Much like Trump's motion to suppress evidence from that search (ECF No. 566 at 4), which misleadingly omitted the word "only" before "when necessary" in describing the FBI's policy on the use of deadly force, his response (ECF No. 622 at 8-9) selectively quotes his statements from the assassination allegations, hiding the part of Trump's statement where he directly and falsely accused "Biden's DOJ" that "they're just itching to do the unthinkable" and downplaying the falsity of "locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger."
13% : The filing also refutes Trump arguments like his team's claim that the agents involved are already sufficiently protected from threats:Trump suggests (ECF No. 622 at 7) that the agents in this case face no danger since their names are currently redacted from public filings.
