(Maybe Schumer can explain what a ‘thumbs down’ hand signal means to most people when you’re discussing bad things that will happen to a particular person.)
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer for threatening Supreme Court justices.
According to The Washington Post, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. is looking to scrutinize Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials.
Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump’s Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would “pay the price” for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said at the time.
”You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
“We take threats against public officials very seriously,” Martin wrote Schumer in a letter on January 21st. “I look forward to your cooperation.”
Schumer never apologized for these remarks, despite a very public rebuke by Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous,” Roberts said in a rare public statement.
“I should not have used the words I used yesterday,” Schumer said at the time. They didn’t come out the way I intended to.”
“I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language. I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat.”
