Police officers are guilty in that county and should be investigated

[davidclark]

Why isn't Trump in jail. There is more than enough to put him away.

[billmiller]

Just imagine what Trump did on Jan 6 that we don't know about yet. No wonder he's trying to block the release of his records. Buckle up !

[cottoncandy]

So the cops really knew who was behind this, so did nothing. Sounds like a mafia threat with the cops keeping quiet.
Ruby and her daughter deserve a medal, and compensation. There is no doubt that the supposed pop star was trying to score points from the x45 Potus by sending his publicist or whatever her job was, to threaten this lady. So blatently too.
This is beyond disgusting.

[davidatkinson]

I've worked in law enforcement for 20 years and it's absolutely reprehensible that no investigation was opened or a report done on the threats Ms. Freeman received. I would've done a report on every threat she received until someone was arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

[crustycobs]

Coercion, threats, intimidation, slander, obstruction. WHEN will they be punished for this, if ever?

[AndyM_YYY]

Of course there was a Young Black Leadership Council. Thing is, it had only one member. To be fair, that meant a large proportion of black Trump supporters were on it.

[olddoug]

THE LACK OF SUPPORT AND PROTECTION FOR HER AND HER FAMILY IS DISGUSTING.

[paulwolstencroft]

What I want is for celebrities and all good people with any influence to come together and speak out strongly against the trump madness and GOP. I understand that celebrities dont want to be caught up in the ugliness of the current political madness, but Democracy is at stake here, freedom is at stake, everything is at stake, AMERICA IS AT STAKE. Something radical must be done.

[azarisLP]

Subornation of perjury? Witness tampering? Also the cops seem to be involved in this racketeering operation, which means the Feds need to get involved in a civil rights violation investigation.

[DrRtimy]

This is beyond comprehension. How can a decent person carrying out a civic duty be exposed to these bullish and frightening behaviour and the law of a country as great as American will not protect her by making a scapegoat of some or all of them. The world has really gone mad.

[EfrainAvelar]

These people should be arrested and PROSECUTED now

[kbone]

I will simply vote AGAINST each and every single candidate that has NOT
openly denounced the Trump movement. That said, I will vote FOR any
person who has the GREATEST CHANCE of defeating that candidate. This is
an all out battle at the ballot box for our country in its existential
threat from autocratic rule by insane people with zero heart and soul. I
recommend you do the same. ***HELP: Does anyone know how to design an
app that helps VOTERS at the polls in different states understand which
candidates are BEST to vote for? I understand that confusion and
pressure will be maxed out during that time, and it is hard to pay

[biloki]

It never ceases to amaze me how evil the Trump administration was.

[robbesrh]

This story should have been told to the public back when it happened. It’s positively sinister and if anything more disturbing than the storming of the Capitol. Also why hasn’t this publicist woman been arrested for intimidating a poll worker with crazy, insidious lies. What this election worker has been put through is just mind numbing.

[greggchambers]

We knew this would happen. We knew there was going to be more dirt, because nobody fights for basically a whole year trying to hide stuff if they're clean.
Republikkkons, you had your chance to stand up and denounce the former guy. You didn't do it. It's time to face the music.

[judybargenquast]

The threats are bad enough but the fact that she supplied all that evidence and they didn't investigate is chilling.

[JoaoSoares-rsec]

I was under the impression that threats were a serious crime by itself.

[geniodiez]

If this doesn’t end up someone in prison I don’t know what will.

[reginaruff]

This story is insane! But yet the method behinds it works. Who wants to volunteer or work elections now?
