CNN is reporting this afternoon that the Secret Service confirmed they have spoken with Donald Trump about his “2nd amendment people” comments from yesterday that many took as an implied threat ...

CNN’s Jim Sciutto reported there were multiple conversations about this.

I just watched the report. CNN commentator said the Secret Service was concerned about Trump's followers, that a deranged supporter might act on his words.

10. FBI Contacted As Trump Could Face Criminal Charges For Violent Threat Against Clinton

By Jason Easley
Aug 9th, 2016

The FBI has already been contacted after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called for violence against Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

The super PAC Democratic Coalition Against Trump has already contacted the FBI:

The Democratic Coalition Against Trump today reached out to high-level contacts in the Washington, D.C. field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to voice concerns about Donald Trump’s call for violence against Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and to argue that Trump should be arrested for attempting to incite political violence.

….

The Democratic Coalition Against Trump immediately reached out to senior officials from the FBI to raise alarms about this call to violence, and to demand that Trump face felony charges under 18 U.S.C. § 879 for making these threats.

14. The Secret Service Is Aware Of Trump’s Violent Threat And He Is In DEEP Legal Trouble

Trump claims he is the “law and order” candidate but he just violated a federal law that could put him behind bars until after Hillary finishes her first term as president. ...

According to 18 U.S. Code § 879,

Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon—
(1) a former President or a member of the immediate family of a former President;
(2) a member of the immediate family of the President, the President-elect, the Vice President, or the Vice President-elect;
(3) a major candidate for the office of President or Vice President, or a member of the immediate family of such candidate; or
(4) a person protected by the Secret Service under section 3056(a)(6);
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

Trump did exactly this by calling for gun owners to shoot and kill Hillary Clinton.

The Secret Service should arrest Trump right now for breaking the law. He should not be allowed to get away with this. If Hillary Clinton had said this about Trump conservatives would be screaming bloody murder.

The law is clear. Threatening a former First Lady with death or bodily harm is a felony offense and it cannot be ignored.

3. Trump betrays Secret Service by putting them in line of fire

The man is a traitor to everyone

[closeupready]

7. That occurred to me, as well.

[VWolf]

4. The next comment from Trump or Giuliani

will accuse the secret service of being "in the tank" for Clinton.

[MyNameIsKhan]

5. Now he will say USSS is cahoots with Clinton...

[totodeinhere]

6. Did they talk to Trump personally or to his campaign staff?

The link you provided said that they talked to the "Trump campaign." I think some clarification is in order.

[napkinz]

15. I agree, it needs clarification.

I switched from CNN to MSNBC. Waiting to hear more.

[napkinz]

19. MSNBC just reported that Trump just tweeted that he himself did not meet with Secret Service

[SunSeeker]

8. A new, historic low. Has the SS ever had to question a presidential candidate like that before?

In other words, has a major party presidential candidate ever made a potentially threatening comment about their opponent that provoked a SS investigation?

I can't think of any...

[totodeinhere]

20. Now it seems that the Secret Service did not talk to Trump about this.

Official: No formal Secret Service discussions with Trump camp on remark

9. In one ear and out the other - tRump is above the law

He's a spoiled fucking brat that's been coddled all his life. Consequences don't apply to him.

[napkinz]

16. time to start chanting ...

[lpbk2713]

11. I hope he got up on his high horse.

That would not have gone well.

"Hey, you can't talk to me like that."

"Come with us please, Mr Trump."

[randr]

13. If, God forbid, anything awful were to happen

I hope they informed him he would be charged with complicity.

[AliceSsquare]

17. Loser

America will be great again when trump is deported

[DesertRat]

21. He's an American citizen

To where would he be deported??

[Jim Dandy]

18. Trump doesn't care

He knows that if he is elected he can say anything he wants.

[raven mad]

22. Isn't tRump supporter and deranged a given?

Could have fooled me. Great post.

[salin]

23. Trump: There was no such phone call or discussion.

Liar has got to lie.
