Report: DOJ May ‘Release Whirlwind’ on Schumer Over 2020 Threats to Conservative Justices
Back in March 2020, Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) engaged in what many would view as incitement to violence when he issued threats to two conservative Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
“I wanna tell you, Gorsuch. I wanna tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!” Schumer declared at the time during a pro-abortion rally that was held outside of the Supreme Court as arguments were being made in front of the court’s justices on a Louisiana abortion law case (June Medical Services LLC v. Russo).
That same day, Schumer earned rebukes from Republicans in the House and Senate, with some — including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and several other Republican Senators —introducing a resolution to censure Schumer.
Chief Justice John Roberts also issued a statement, which read in part “…threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”
Laughably, Schumer tried to walk back his threatening statement the next day, claiming on the Senate floor that he was actually talking about Senate Republicans and President Trump “paying the price”— at the ballot box:
“I should not have used the words I used,” he said. “They didn’t come out the way I intended,” he explained, and added “my point was that there would be political consequences for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices stripped away at a woman’s right to choose.”
But now, nearly five years after Schumer uttered those words, and two and a half years after a deranged leftist was arrested and charged after attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh shortly before the ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade was handed down, we have learned that President Trump’s Dept. of Justice may be getting ready to release a whirlwind of its own on Schumer over his infamous remarks.
Tucked into a report on Trump’s DOJ dismissing the January 6th federal prosecutors was this little intriguing nugget, courtesy of the Washington Post:
And he appeared to set his sights on scrutinizing the nation’s top elected Democrat, sending what he called a “letter of inquiry” to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) about his quickly walked-back statement in a March 2020 rally that two of Trump’s recently nominated Supreme Court justices, Neil M. Gorsuch and Brett M. Kavanaugh, would “pay the price” for a vote against abortion rights.“We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote Schumer in a Jan. 21 letter obtained by The Post.
That he got the letter one day after Trump’s inauguration was a chef’s kiss.
As for the leftist/media outrage that undoubtedly will ensue once they learn of this news? Well, the words “you reap what you sow” come to mind:
While we’re at it, maybe it’s time for Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) to get a DOJ letter, too?
There is, of course, much more from where that came, but Schumer and Waters are good places to start.
Your rules, Democrats. Your rules.
