Woman who posted about Trump slams door on Secret Service agent
January 14, 2019
After reportedly posting online about hoping someone would shoot President Trump between the eyes, a woman in Texas was shocked to see a Secret Service agent at her door only a few hours later. According to her, he attempted to intimidate her and enter her home but stopped when her nephew started recording. After stating that she wanted a lawyer, the woman got the agent’s phone number and then slammed the door shut without waiting for him to leave.

1. That LEO attitude is annoying

She asked him if she committed s crime and if it was mandatory for her to speak with him.

The answers are “no” and “no”.

I don’t see how it helps the goal of law enforcement to be as evasive as he was.

20. They like for people to think they have to talk to them

and have to let them in if they ask, and have to let them search their cars, etc. That's why they won't just say "no" when they're asked those questions.

2. Not everone agrees with their commander in chief

Poor fucking them!

SLAM!



But they will be back and it will get ugly. My guess is that they have already interviewed Rump about his threat to shoot Hillary.

3. What are they trying to achieve in this? Don't they have anything better to do with their time?

4. Sorry, but I'm with law enforcement on this one

Her post was out of line and could be seen as a threat. Not cool.

It needed to be checked out - they're doing their jobs.

6. Me too

I haven’t watched the video so I don’t know whether his behavior was uncalled for, but checking out a statement like that seems appropriate. We felt that way here when President Obama’s was in office, as I recall.

7. With them in what sense?

She doesn’t intend to kill anyone, and doesn’t need to spend her time talking to them.

Sure, they can ring the bell and ask to talk, but that doesn’t obligate her to engage them in conversation.

Objectively, the statement in question is not a threat. It’s not even a statement of intent of any sort.

I don’t advise people to engage in these “voluntary interviews” with law enforcement. If there is no probable cause, there is no probable cause. The point of the interview is to attempt to find some.

9. There are two issues here.

The first, that every threat on the president or a judge is investigated. That's routine.

The second, is how they go about doing that investigation.

I agree with the first action, and still waiting for details to judge the second.

11. I didn't say she was required to talk to them

But the agents weren't out of line as some here suggest for trying to interview her.

8. Agree.

[sharedvalues]

13. Me too. No threats.

19. I agree with you Effie ....

all threats have to be checked.

[triron]

5. Good for her.

[phylny]

10. The agent should not have intimidated her, should not have tried to enter her home.

Having said that, anyone threatening the President of the United States need not be surprised that the Secret Service might pay you a visit.

12. Had that statement been made about President Obama I would have wanted it investigated.

[triron]

15. Obama did not commit treason to gain the presidency.

[Lisa0825]

17. That is irrelevant in this situation.

All threats against any President should be investigated.

18. Which is why I want to see his @ss safely in jail for his crime. I threw up a little just typing

see his @ss

14. Geez

think what you may privately but do not publicize. How many cult45 followers say uncouth things about our Democratic leaders.
They send them pipe bombs and shit, plus we don't have guns.

16. This is precisely why DU should never tolerate overt threats against the potus at this board...

That goes from Day One. All of us detested BushCheney -- some with the heat of a thousand suns. Red Don is worse and even more dangerous.

Regardless, there is a line that should not be crossed on a public discussion board, both for decency's sake and because we'd like to keep from being shut down.

Not kidding here, Agent Mike.
Agents Boris & Natasha, otoh, can go to hell.
