The Department of Justice has been coming under fire from various fronts recently. Earlier this week, for instance, we reported that Senator Rand Paul vehemently expressed his outrage at the Mar-A-Lago raid, and said that he will be making various political moves to ensure the unprecedented raid would yield no fruitful results.
It was also reported that the Department of Justice has potentially illegally seized confidential materials from the raid that were supposed to be protected within the brackets of attorney-client privilege. Now, it seems that Biden’s Department of Justice is in for it again.
It is now being reported by the Post Millennial that:
A New York City man has been let off twice by federal prosecutors after he threatened numerous Fox News hosts, despite breaking an agreement drafted after his first encounter with prosecutors.
In 2021, Jeffrey Rodriguez of New York City was arrested and charged with cyberstalking and threatening interstate communications after sending hundreds of vile messages to numerous Fox News hosts.
He was given a pass under the condition that he adhered to a number of guidelines, however after breaking them, his prosecution was deferred yet again.
According to the New York Post, when Rodriguez appeared in court the first time in May, Manhattan federal prosecutors wrote a deferred prosecution, but made him promise to follow a list of conditions for the next year, including a ban on social media posts about anyone at Fox News, and mandatory mental health treatment.
Rodriguez went on to violate the conditions, tagging one of his alleged victims in a post on Instagram. He argued that he had stopped taking his medication at the time, but had since gotten back on it.
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses sought to commence with prosecution, however she was overruled by the US Attorney‘s Office, who decided to let Rodriguez’s actions slide yet again.
“You’ve been lucky thus far,” Moses told Rodriguez, adding that he “will not get another chance.”
After learning from Rodriguez’s attorney that his behavior may have been influenced by a drinking problem, Moses ordered that he be subjected to random breathalyzer tests.
As the Post reports, prior to sending threats to two unnamed Fox News hosts, Rodriguez was charged for stalking and harassing another, also unnamed.
The complaint against him states that “the rate of his posts, comments, and direct messages directed toward Broadcasters – 2 and – 3, as well as the severity of his threats, increased drastically” in the months following his initial arrest.
Rodriguez repeatedly threatened the hosts, whom he referred to as “Nazis,” saying he wanted to “skin [them] ALIVE.” He told one he would “split [their] top.”
From March 2020 to December 2021, Rodriguez allegedly sent hundreds of menacing messages and posts to the broadcasters, and allegedly threatened two of their families and exposed information about where they live.
So, the blatant political bias of Biden’s Department of Justice is becoming even more so. It must surely make the job of defending them much more difficult than it needs to be for those who are inclined to give the Department of Justice a charitable reading.
Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader in the US House of Representative has been ringing the bell on this as well. We reported earlier this month that he said that the Department Of Justice has “reached an intolerable state of weaponized politicization” following the already-infamous raid.
For his part, Trump has demanded that the FBI search warrant and property receipt used to search his Mar-a-Lago home be unsealed.This request to unseal, not unsurprisingly has been opposed by the Justice Department. Follow The Raging Patriot for more on this story as it develops.
