Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg offered a private retort to Donald Trump’s message Saturday urging supporters to protest his expected indictment, telling office employees in an email that “we do not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” according to a copy obtained by POLITICO.

“Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office will be fully investigated and that the proper safeguards are in place so all 1,600 of us have a secure work environment,” Bragg wrote, adding that the office has been coordinating with the New York Police Department and Office of Court Administration, the administrative arm of the court system in New York.

Bragg added that “as with all of our investigations, we will continue to apply the law evenly and fairly, and speak publicly only when appropriate.” In his email, Bragg didn’t identify Trump by name, referring only to the “public comments surrounding an ongoing investigation by this office.”

11. NY City Cops ARE MAGA Republicans

Never met one here that wasn't.

13. so your saying they are not likely

to shoot the former President if he goes nuts in the court room.

14. Funny that they all support Magamaniac

When he just shits all over them. He only uses them for his own gain with no benefit to them. Stupid!

16. What is really mind blowing is the fact that the so called " Christian evangelicals " support this

MONSTER . Jesus is preparing a hot place for these hypocrites .

2. This email from Alvin Bragg to his office reflects that Trump's post was interpreted as a threat

10. I

absolutely would take that as a threat!

I think in General Discussion today there was a "Patriot" (paraphrasing now) calling for his brothers to join him in a human shield down at Cheeto's residence. Wants to have as many people as come to the Hadj. Mr. Bragg has every right to read what the turd wrote and see it as a threat.

15. I don't think a judge will like this reaction from Trump. He is so stupid that he doesn't know what

to say in a situation like this.
You're supposed to say "I look forward to vindicating myself in court against this politically motivated prosecution."
then you stfu

3. Good! Not taking any shit off of Trump or his violent MAGOTS from the get-go

[Ligyron]

4. It will be wonderful if his calls to protest basically go unanswered.

At least as far as them doing so en mass in the NYC area and just one or two show up and are laughed out of the area in embarrassment by a flash mob from Cornell or arrested if they try something stupid.

Or if by some miracle enough show up at the DA's to pose a threat, in a new attempt at even handedness by by New York's finest, I hope they get the same treatment BLM got out in St Louis, i.e., they get the shit beat out of them.

IDK, failing that, maybe a deranged one will assault a Starbucks or something elsewhere in the country and get their ass handed to them.

Whatever, at any rate, this is going to be the very start of the festivities.

7. I am really hoping for a weak, pathetic showing. n/t

[jvill]

5. NYC Police..?

Having interacted with them many times over 25 years, I’d be careful counting on NYC to offer much resistance to local MAGA protestors. They prob know each other well. The Manhattan/Queens/Brooklyn population is NOT the same as the police force that mostly comes from Staten and Long Island.

6. well that could be problematic. Good observation

[paleotn]

9. I think even they can handle 5 or 10 idiots.

This isn't Jan 6, 2021. Donnie the Dumbass no longer has the panache you think he does.

[paleotn]

8. If a few knuckle heads want to take on the power of the US government, go right ahead...

Reminds me of the ass hat who "assaulted" the Cincinnati FBI office. Didn't work out quite the way he planned it. One less moron clouding the gene pool in my mind.

12. At this point,

Make America Great Again means arresting TFG, and putting him away for a good long time.
