Trump Appointee Judge Lets Florida Man Walk After He Threatened To Murder Four Female House Democrats

The Associated Press reports:

A federal judge sentenced a former Trump supporter to three years of probation and a $7,000 fine for sending an email threatening to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and three other congresswomen.

David George Hannon, 67, also must undergo mental and substance abuse treatment and have no contact with Omar or Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

“He was doing that because Trump told him to,” his daughter, Elizabeth Hannon Dillon, told the judge during the hearing on Wednesday. “He was a Trump supporter and now he regrets it.”

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Mizelle, a graduate of Covenant College, was appointed by Trump in August 2020. 

The American Bar Association rated her “not qualified” ahead of her Senate confirmation hearing, noting, “Since her admission to the bar Ms. Mizelle has not tried a case, civil or criminal, as lead or co-counsel.”

The Senate confirmed her in a 49-41 vote.

A member of the Federalist Society, Mizelle clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas.
