July 31, 2024 Crime, Politics

From the Justice Department:

Sean Patrick Cirillo has pleaded guilty to transmitting interstate threats to injure U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Threatening to kill a public official is reprehensible,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “Our office will not tolerate any form of violence, threats or intimidation against public officials. The prosecution of individuals who threaten the lives and welfare of public servants is a top priority for our office, as well as for our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.”

According to U.S. Attorney Buchanan, the charges, and other information presented in court: On three occasions on November 8, 2023, Sean Patrick Cirillo called the Washington, D.C. office of U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and spoke with her staffers.

During the calls, Cirillo made multiple threats, including the following:

•“I got a bead on her. Like a sniper rifle. A sniper rifle. And I’m gonna kill her next week. I’m gonna murder her;”

•“I’ll kill you too if you want;” and

•“You’re gonna die. Your family is gonna die.”

Sean Patrick Cirillo, 34, of Atlanta, Georgia, pleaded guilty to one count of transmitting interstate threats. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.
