In reply to the discussion: Colorado judge who sentenced election denier Tina Peters to prison receives threats [View all]RTT
(18 posts)Maybe tied to Ivan Raiklin's ongoing efforts to incite violence. (?)
For years, Raiklin has repeatedly, publicly given out complete contact numbers and addresses of Courts, Judges, and urged his QAnon/MAGA militant followers to target & protest at those locations. Including 12/2023, when the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from appearing on CO 2024 Gen. Election Ballot. (Of course, SCOTUS rejected that, so I find it even more unsettling that Leo/Koch donors appear to have just rewarded Raiklin with funding (tax-free) to continue his work (see below).
Per his Twitter account, Raiklin was instrumental in being the liaison between Trump & GOP lawmakers at key times, like 12/2022 - 1/2023 when Trump/Raiklin threatened McCarthy to drop out of Speaker quest. In fact, some of those Tweets indicated Trump planned to be Speaker of the House, himself.
Raiklin has also been a main actor in the "complete campaigns" to threaten, incite Trump Cult followers to threaten key Govt. staff/officials handling COVID, etc. Raiklin has an infamous video where he got a seat in a Hearing for Dr. Rochelle Walensky, right in front of where she was to speak. He had someone video the encounter (video still available). As Dr. Walensky walked up to her seat, Raiklin walked up to her, as if it was a professional courtesy, shook her hand and said, " I really look forward to you testifying about your involvement in murdering 38,000 Americans (during COVID)." At first Walensky graciously smiled, and shook Raiklin's hand, having absolutely no idea who he was, or that Raiklin was instrumental in her "tribunal." What Raiklin said obviously wasn't the truth, but is an example of how Raiklin is involved in the complete campaigns that have the effect of the far-right "tribunals." Raiklin has also urged followers to video live swatting raids of Trump's perceived enemies.
Raiklin and his son, similarly sat behind Dr. Fauci, and when Fauci testified that he and his family received death threats, Raiklin's son started making faces behind Fauci's back and started laughing. It is my understanding that, never before in the history of Congress in our country where private citizens can make a mockery of Congressional business like this. If there are other examples, please let me know.
It is also believed Raiklin's brother is still a Russian citizen, living in Russia.
It seems Raiklin has been "rewarded" for all of his campaigns to spread dangerous lies, and causing tribunals of govt. officials doing their job by being appointed as a Board Member of Mike Flynn's non-profit America's Future Foundation (EIN Presswire, 6/27/2024). Per Source Watch, Talent Market is a Project in America's Future Foundation, which was a LCC vehicle of donor funds (Donor's Trust) for Koch brothers and Leonard Leo for many years before it became a non-profit for Mike Flynn. Oddly, EIN Presswire, who initially posted the article pulled the non-profit's press release.
According to their website, America's Future Foundation also accepts public donations.
What I find sickening about the continuation of threats to anyone in the way of the Trump Int'l. Mob is the fact our Justice system/Financial systems (or Congress) have had absolutely no interest or effect to stop the insane money trail that flows from/to Leonard Leo & violence. These Board appointments, using non-profit Mob funding seem like an Int'l. Mob rewarding Flynn & Raiklin. How can GOP even consider this ongoing Mob activity to even resemble contributing to our country?
I also think this could be where a lot of GOP money is going to -- to efforts for a violent coup. Possibly GOP knows the Pres. race is close, so if they divert $'s to the violent coup planners, it would be money well spent (for them at least) to have Trump take over by a violent coup.
