WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice did not want to discuss why the agency refuses to investigate alleged harassment and death threats toward Electoral College voters in states that went for Donald

The Justice Department seemed concerned about protecting voters from being intimidated at the polls on Election Day. It deployed 500 monitors to 67 jurisdictions in 28 states to watch polling stations this past presidential election cycle.

I guess you're just too damn lazy to look stuff up yourself. Easy google search:

Banerian filed it with the Bloomfield Hills Police Department, and they are investigating. I trust you understand that the Bloomfield Hills Police Department is a local entity and the Department of Justice is a federal entity.

Well if you had done even a little work you would have found out that the GA Secretary of State is named Kemp and to quote him
“Our office has received numerous reports of individuals hurling insults and threats at Georgia’s Electors because they are unsettled with America’s choice for President of the United States. This is absolutely unacceptable and those participating in or encouraging these efforts should stop. The electoral process in America has worked, and everyone – Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and others – should respect the will of Georgia’s voters and the Electors who represent them.”

To quote you "Unless threats are reported to law enforcement, I'll assume they're embellishments or outright hoaxes. I'll treat them the same as allegations made by the left to reporters and not law enforcement.

You didn't say that they had to report it to FEDERAL law enforcement. You just stated "law enforcement".

I trust you understand that the Georgia Secretary of State is not a law enforcement agency. I also trust you understand that the Georgia Secretary of State is a state agency and not a federal one like the Department of Justice.

You do understand these things, don't you?

Please note the title of this thread: DOJ Declines To Comment On Why Agency Won’t Investigate Threats To Electors

The point of this thread is to understand why the DoJ isn't investigating alleged threats.

The entire justice department needs to be disbanded. It’s useless, unless you are part of that small group known as “just us”.

Regarding Banerian, I don't believe there is a prosecutable crime here. Banerian has been telling reporters that he was "threatened" for the past two weeks. It is difficult to explain the delay in reporting the alleged "threat".

In order for a threat to be prosecutable, it must be a "true threat". "True threats" exclude threats made in jest (e.g. saying "I'm going to kill you" when you find out you've been the butt of a practical joke) and crude, offensive political statements (see: Watts v. United States). Given that Banerian spent two weeks making political points about the alleged threat before reporting it to police, it seems Banerian recognized the alleged threat as a political statement and not a "true threat" against his safety.

Also, notice that Banerian told the Detroit News that he doesn't fear the threat makers. This is additional evidence that the alleged threat is not a prosecutable "true threat".

After almost 8 years of a rabble-rousing, America-hating, mentally-deficient, Marxist moron defiling the White House...I expect no less.

Have faith, morning is coming 01/20/17.

The Obama regime of liars and thieves must be put out and than the injustice done by the injustice dept. of morons will be back to stopping criminal behavior that they perpetuate. Our first black President is a monster and a thief and a liar and has so much blood on his hands, Jesus Christ will judge the fool.
