Summary
Georgia poll worker Nicholas Wimbish, 25, has been charged with mailing a bomb threat to local election officials and making false statements to the FBI.
After a verbal altercation with a voter, Wimbish allegedly sent a threatening letter impersonating that voter, warning of physical and sexual violence against poll workers and concluding with a bomb threat.
If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. The case is part of the DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force, which aims to protect election officials from intimidation and uphold election integrity.
Federal crime. 5 years in an orange jumpsuit
Unless an even more orange asshole instructs AG Sean Hannity to drop the case
Or just pardons him
By all accounts, that would be Cannon’s job you’re talking about.
This is in GA, Cannon’s district is South Florida. I haven’t looked to see if there is a MAGA asshole in that GA district, though.
Federal charge. Federal DA, not Georgia.
Yes, and Cannon is a Federal judge in the Southern District of Florida. GA is divided into Federal District courts, too. They all are.
There is a rumor that she’d be Trump’s Attorney General.
Of course there is. If that happens, at least we can laugh whenever he calls her “General Cannon”.
My money’s still on Hannity for AG, though, and Giuliani for Secretary of State.
Funny stuff right there.
He is a republican. Best DOJ can do is 1 week house arrest.
He’ll be speaking at future GOP conventions.
Maybe he’ll attempt forced crying while testifying.
Musk will promote him to chief fluffer.
25, not 5. I hope he gets the maximum. Aside from juts the threat, if his plan had worked he might have gotten an innocent person locked up for a quarter century.
The poll worker or their family could have also been injured or killed in a police raid. They were basically SWATed via mail.
The poll worker is the one who has been arrested. He sent the bomb threat to himself to try to make it look like the voter he had an altercation with sent it.
The context is “if his plan had worked”.
