MODERATORS
Always have been
FTA:
"These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," read one post on a pro-Trump forum in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News."
What about second indictment, Pip?
I mean, honestly, the FBI or relevant SBI needs to go dig these losers out of their trailer park and throw the book at them. We cannot tolerate traitors and fascists. These people are just begging for the FO stage.
Even just intimidating jurors is bad enough. Juries are the only thing keeping the courts from running roughshod through democracy is they chose to.
I'm sure after a year and a half Garland will allow the FBI to think about taking a look.

How did they even get this information? Shouldn’t this be pretty closely guarded? I assume there are maybe a few dozen people with their hands on it…
The names are public. Per Georgia Code Title 17. Criminal Procedure § 17-7-54 it looks like they're spelled out as part of the standard form that indictments take. Addresses aren't that hard to get once you know the name.
That's just fucked up. It's like nothing in the US is considering privacy.
You're just asking for mob bosses to start killing or threatening jurors.

Great way to prove your guy is innocent. Imagine if a democrat would have released this information about pending case against Biden or Obama. Republicans vilified the email lady just for being a woman.
Republicans would be lining up all the way to Russia to crucify a Democrat who did even a fraction of what Dullard Grump bragged about on television.

I understand you guys are frustrated by Republican hypocrisy but it is literally designed into/a selling point of conservatism.
Wilhoit's Law:
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Violence that results from citizens being doxxed for engaging with their civic duties should carry harsh mandatory minimum sentences. This is not the same as "protesting" against government officials. They are literally engaging in stochastic terrorism, and attempting to foment domestic terrorism in the process.
What the fuck is wrong with these people, and how do we deal with this in any other way than removing them from society so they cannot harm their fellow citizens.

What the fuck.
We know the names of the terrorists that have done it. Track them down, arrest them, 10+ years un prison.
Ruin their shitty little lives.
Make an exapmle out of them.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand juror's purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, Inc., a non-partisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting on other social media sites the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors.
— Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts online.

Those people need special protection now. Holy fuck this is bad.
They've already performed their duty. Silly boys can't even stochastic terrorism right.
I guess this is what the bloviating one was talking about when he twatted "if you come for me i'll come for you."
Little slow on the draw there, gordito.
It also acts as a threat that they'll do the same to jurors involved in the trial should it not go their way.

Who would have had access to this information? I bet this leak could be traced back to someone on Trump's defense team if we investigated hard enough

"Post names and addresses of jurors" is a really wordy way of saying "terrorism". Because that's what this is. Someone, or a small group, is trying to use fear to affect the decision making of our society.
That is textbook terrorism.
We need to start calling this shit what it is.
Morons probably don't even know how to use a VPN, so they're gonna get caught and fucked and Trump won't care.
