Keller from the DOJ's Election Threats Task Force But death threats are not debate Death threats do not contribute to the marketplace of ideas. Death threats are not First Amendment protected speech Death threats, and any threats of violence, are condemnable criminal acts & they will be met with the full force of the Department of Justice.

   My answer to 2nd question, What can be done?"

   Make it a priority & provide $$$ & resources to law enforcement & prosecutors.

   Reuters' Linda So showed us local cops & DAs do NOT make this a priority. It takes skill, time & money.

   DOJ's Election Threats Task Force was created to provide resources to prosecute.

   They have had successes. BUT THE DON'T PUBLICIZE THEM, so there's no awareness for deterrence for threateners.

   Teach:
   Death threats are NOT 1st Amdt protected speech!
