Law enforcement in Fulton County, Georgia, are investigating threats to members of the grand jury that returned the indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 other associates after the grand jurors’ personal information was shared online, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.

    If I was a very smart guy…

    I would leak a memo of fake jurors (Undercover FBI Agents), and cast my line and start fishing to see who was dumb enough to try something stupid.

    Or

    I would leak the memo of real jurors (Covered by FBI Agents already) , and cast my line and start fishing to see who was dumb enough to try something stupid.

    Moral of the story: don’t try something stupid.

      Sure, but it’s expensive to protect the former grand jurors 24/7 so it seems rather likely they’ll be targeted and find themselves without adequate protection.

        True…

        But,

        If I have 30-80 agents on salary, what else are they supposed to do with them? Sure they could sit behind a desk, maybe operate separate sting operations that might net 1-2 maybe 3 criminals over the course of weeks - months.

        Or I could pile everyone that wants to overthrow democracy into a few easily observable areas and wait to see who drives out to take the bait?
