Law enforcement officials were investigating threats related to former President Donald Trump’s election interference probe in Georgia, after the names and addresses of grand jury members were shared online, the local sheriff’s office said.

“Our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in Fulton County and other jurisdictions,” the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Thursday.

    I mean, about time? The death threats and bomb threats at schools and libraries, and against election officials have been running rampant for at least a year. Dude attacked an fbi office, dude tried to murder pelosis husband with a hammer, sniper dude wanted to take out biden. Feel free to add to the list…This is the first Ive heard of enforcement.

        Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’.

        Ah yea, where the hell was the secret service and why were they not removing bodies from the highway after that incident? Ex congressman, vice president, and presidential candidate being directly attacked by a mob of thugs. Didnt we all think in that sort of scenario the secret service would have mowed down everyone with uzi’s? And in the same vein what in the holy f*** happened on january 6th?

    An indictment in Georgia that is available as a public record includes the names of grand jurors but not their addresses or any other personally identifiable information.

    I have a very unique name. I only know of one other person in the US that shares my first & last names & middle initial. He’s a distant relative about 20 years older than me. I would definitely not want my name shared this way as it would be fairly easy for nitjobs to track me down thanks to Google etc.

    It’s so rare that I get to be proud of my home state, but for once, Georgia has been doing it all right.
