A Democrat donor was arrested this week for allegedly threatening to murder six U.S. Supreme Court Justices and some of their family members evidently due to his hatred of people with differing opinions than his.
Panos Anastasiou, 76, sent over 465 messages to the Supreme Court via a public website run by the court, the Department of Justice announced Thursday. These messages were sent from March 10, 2023, through July 16, 2024.
The situation “escalated to messages intending to threaten harm toward the victims,” the DOJ said. “The messages contained violent, racist, and homophobic rhetoric coupled with threats of assassination by torture, hanging, and firearms.”
Court documents said the threats were “intended to intimidate Supreme Court Justices 1-6 and retaliate against them for official actions Supreme Court Justices 1-6 had taken in their official capacity as federal judges.”
While prosecutors did not name the justices who were targeted, and six of the nine justices are conservative, and Anastasiou is a Democrat donor, my money is on the conservative ones.
The would-be murderer was charged with nine counts of making treats against federal judges and 13 counts of making threats via interstate commerce. He faces up to 155 years in prison if convicted: 19 years per count for threatening judges and five years per count for making threats via interstate commerce.
“We allege that the defendant made repeated, heinous threats to murder and torture Supreme Court Justices and their families to retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with,” said Attorney General Merrick Garland in that whiny, irritating voice that he has. “Our justice system depends on the ability of judges to make their decisions based on the law, and not on fear. Our democracy depends on the ability of public officials to do their jobs without fearing for their lives or the safety of their families.”
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records state that Anastasiou had donated 82 times to various left-wing causes and Democrat candidates dozens of times on the Democrats’ fundraising platform ActBlue, proving that there is something wrong with him.
