Alex Jones' threat to Rep. Adam Schiff - there were at least three posts here yesterday

about it. So I googled again this morning to see if the story has "legs", and no, not really.

I called Rep. Schiff's office a bit ago, and the nice woman who answered said she had not talked to Rep. Schiff about it, so she has no information about it.

I called the TX Attorney General's office - the woman I spoke with gave me the number to the FBI office that covers Austin, where Jones has his headquarters.

So I called the FBI at 512/345-1111 and reported Jones' terroristic threatening of a Federal official. The young man took my name and phone number, I explained why I was calling, and he said he had not heard of this threat. I was hoping I could email him the text of jones' threat. Nope.

A DUer or two, as of last night, said they had tweeted the FBI about this - so, that's "something"!

I guess I want a big uproar, and I want this jones arrested, at the very least. If anyone can point me towards even a petition to sign, I thank you in advance!

Anyway, here's what jones said - 3 days ago now?:

Alex Jones' threat to congressman may be a felony

Law enforcement officials are not saying whether they will charge broadcaster Alex Jones, the right-wing conspiracy theorist ally of President Donald Trump, for publicly threatening to “beat” Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and telling Schiff to “fill your hand”—a reference to taking up a pistol. 

But, says an attorney with expertise in federal law, Jones’s threats appear to break a federal law, U.S. Code Title 18, Section 115, which makes it illegal to threaten to assault a U.S. official and provides a penalty of up to six years in prison.  

“I do think that the combination of Jones’s comments would amount to a threat,” says Amanda Berman, director of legal affairs with Lawfare Project, a consortium of experts on national security law. “It seems to be a clear provocation. Ultimately, the question would have to be put to a judge or jury, but I think there is a legal basis for a conviction based on Jones’s threat, which was made ‘with intent to impede, intimidate or interfere’ with Congressman Schiff’s exercise of his duties as the ranking member of the committee investigating the connection between the Trump campaign/administration and the Russians.”

“I’m not against gay people. OK. I love them, they’re great folks. But Schiff looks like the archetypal cocksucker with those little deer-in-the-headlight eyes and all his stuff. And there’s something about this fairy, hopping around, bossing everybody around, trying to intimidate people like me and you, I want to tell Congressman Schiff and all the rest of them, ‘Hey, listen, asshole, quit saying Roger and I’—and I’ve never used cussing in 22 years, but the gloves are off—‘listen, you son of a bitch, what the fuck’s your problem? You want to sit here and say that I’m a goddamn, fucking Russian. You get in my face with that, I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch. You piece of shit. You fucking goddamn fucker. Listen, fuckhead, you have fucking crossed a line. Get that through your goddamn fucking head. Stop pushing your shit. You’re the people that have fucked this country over and gangraped the shit out of it and lost an election. So stop shooting your mouth off claiming I’m the enemy. You got that you goddamn son of a bitch? Fill your hand.’ I’m sorry, but I’m done. You start calling me a foreign agent, those are fucking fighting words. Excuse me.”
