Threat Made Against Sen. Marco Rubio: Report
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is receiving police protection at his West Miami home and in Washington D.C. after he was the target of a credible threat, according to his office.
[snip]
U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Lt. Kimberly Schneider confirmed to NBC 6 that there is an open investigation into the threat and said they are working with law enforcement in Miami to investigate. She declined to comment further citing the active investigation.
Hmmm...I wonder if this has anything to do with these two letters to Rubio from an angry birfer named Robert Quinn, posted at
http://giveusliberty1776.blogspot.com/2 ... orida.html. The relevant quote from the first letter:
Robert Quinn wrote:
Must someone put a bounty on you or perhaps one of your family members in order to force you to realize the treasonous and destructive path you have been following by surrendering your constitutional duty over to a man whose eligibility documents are very likely forgeries?
A follow-up letter to Rubio from the same guy starts with:
Robert Quinn wrote:
Finally, it appears I have gained your attention. When it is only I fearing for the safety of my family, country and my grandchildren it is of no concern to you but when you think the situation is reversed and it is you or your family being threatened you apparently see things much more in line with the way I do. Welcome to reality.
The nice gentleman I spoke with from the Capitol Police had no difficulty understanding my questions to you and seemed to be quite well informed as to Sheriff Arpaio's law enforcement verified evidence probable cause exists that Obama's so called birth certificate and selective service registration form are both forgeries.
I can't say for sure that this is the threat that the media is reporting, but it sure looks like this guy threatened Rubio and the police took it seriously.
