Summary
Georgia poll worker Nicholas Wimbish, 25, has been charged with mailing a bomb threat to local election officials and making false statements to the FBI.
After a verbal altercation with a voter, Wimbish allegedly sent a threatening letter impersonating that voter, warning of physical and sexual violence against poll workers and concluding with a bomb threat.
If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison. The case is part of the DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force, which aims to protect election officials from intimidation and uphold election integrity.
On what appears to be his X, formerly Twitter, profile, Wimbish describes himself as a “graduate student, outspoken, avid traveler, follower of Christ, and loyal friend.”
Yup. Sending bomb threats is what Jesus would do
Hypocritical evangelical asshole MAGAt fuck?
I can see it.
No lie they would believe that Jesus supports them.
Religion would be classified as a mental illness if it didn’t have a special exemption.
Another problem with the “voter fraud is rampant” rehtoric is idiots like this think they too can get away with anything.
That’s why they have the retoric in the first place.
It’s a feature; not a bug!
Not a problem. They lose one voter (if the conviction sticks) and strengthen the fanaticism of their victimization narrative. To them, that says that the deep state just covers up for the antifa, and suppresses their voice.
Federal crime. 5 years in an orange jumpsuit
He is a republican. Best DOJ can do is 1 week house arrest.
If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison.
25, not 5. I hope he gets the maximum. Aside from juts the threat, if his plan had worked he might have gotten an innocent person locked up for a quarter century.
The poll worker or their family could have also been injured or killed in a police raid. They were basically SWATed via mail.
The poll worker is the one who has been arrested. He sent the bomb threat to himself to try to make it look like the voter he had an altercation with sent it.
The context is “if his plan had worked”.
Unless an even more orange asshole instructs AG Sean Hannity to drop the case
By all accounts, that would be Cannon’s job you’re talking about.
This is in GA, Cannon’s district is South Florida. I haven’t looked to see if there is a MAGA asshole in that GA district, though.
Federal charge. Federal DA, not Georgia.
Yes, and Cannon is a Federal judge in the Southern District of Florida. GA is divided into Federal District courts, too. They all are.
There is a rumor that she’d be Trump’s Attorney General.
Of course there is. If that happens, at least we can laugh whenever he calls her “General Cannon”.
My money’s still on Hannity for AG, though, and Giuliani for Secretary of State.

Or just pardons him
Sadly, not too surprising in a kind of unstable country that is partially under the control of Russia.
Oh wait, it’s the other Georgia…
Oh wait, it still kinda tracks…
FAFO, asshole
What the heck is wrong with people…jeez.
Sending good vibes to Georgia. Shit’s gonna get weird.
Early voted. WFH today. I don’t think I want to be out and about.
Smart
