'Put a stop to it': Ex-prosecutor demands Trump be jailed after latest threats

Donald Trump should be jailed for sending an ominous “signal” to his supporters to target the Maine secretary of state who kicked him off that state’s ballot, a former federal prosecutor said.

Trump last week posted a link to the bio page of top election official Shenna Bellows, the day after she ruled the Constitution’s 14th Amendment disqualified the former president from appearing on the ballot.

And legal expert Glenn Kirschner said it was clearly a “signal to his supporters” to carry out action against her.

Soon after Trump shared the link to Bellows’ page on the official Maine government website, she told CNN she started receiving “threatening communications."

Then, on Friday, her home was the target of “swatting” — a false emergency call that sent a SWAT team to her home.

Speaking on his Justice Matters YouTube channel, Kirschner referenced similar attacks Trump has made to prosecutors, officials and their families — resulting on him being hit with several gag orders.

"How many times are we going to watch this movie?" he said. His comments were also reported by Newsweek.

"There actually is a way to stop this movie from running on an endless loop. That endless loop involving someone acting in accordance with the law, in accordance with their oath of office, in accordance with their sworn obligation, someone acting to hold Donald Trump accountable for his misconduct for his crimes, and Donald Trump then immediately posting something that is clearly designed to send the signal to his supporters: 'get them.’"

“The law provides that when somebody is on pretrial release in a felony case, Trump is on release in four felony cases, if he poses a danger to the community or any person in the community, he has to be detained pending trial. The law has a way to stop the same old movie from running. Put a stop to it. Apply the law of pretrial detention as it was intended to be applied."

Bellows told the Associated Press that the target on her has made her feel in danger.

"It is extraordinarily dangerous for the rhetoric to have escalated to the point of dehumanizing me and threatening me, my loved ones and the people who work for me,” she said.
