EXCLUSIVE: J6ers Reported Threats Against President Trump To The Secret Service — Nine Emails Later, Still No Answer

Guest Post by WeTheJ6ers.com

For years, someone mailed taunting postcards to January 6 defendants in prison. Now the threats reach their families, arrive daily, and target President Trump.

On September 12, the U.S. Secret Service asked WeTheJ6ers co-founder Barry Ramey for evidence of threats against President Donald Trump. He sent it within 80 minutes. Over the next 25 days, he sent nine more emails reporting seven new threats. The agency never wrote back, and neither it nor the FBI has called or visited him.

“We don’t expect the Secret Service to get involved when it comes to threats toward us,” Ramey said. “But when they’re making direct threats toward the President, which we can prove, something needs to be done about that, and immediately.”

It started in prison

While Ramey and other J6ers served their sentences, postcards arrived again and again, all postmarked in Orlando, Florida, and all in the same distinctive wording. Most bore the home address of a sitting U.S. senator or member of Congress, a signal that the sender knows where lawmakers live.

Most J6ers shrugged off the hate mail. That changed when the cards began threatening their families. Behind bars, the men could do nothing to protect them.

Now it reaches their families

Release didn’t stop it. The postcard above arrived at the home of Ramey’s mother: “Please rest assured we’re all praying fervently that Mary Ann Ramey will have a slow, painful, lingering death. Then she can go to Hell where you all belong.”

Ramey and his mother are very close. “That crosses a line,” he said. Still, he doesn’t expect anyone to act on her behalf. What he can’t accept is the same sender threatening the President while the agencies charged with protecting him stay silent.

“Kill Trump”

Ramey has logged more than 109 threatening or taunting messages through the WeTheJ6ers.com contact form, and new ones still arrive multiple times a day. Zach Rehl, Robert Morss, Tim Hale, Shane Jenkins, Colton McAbee and many other J6ers are targeted too, including through GiveSendGo, the crowdfunding site many of them use to rebuild.

Several messages target the President directly, all signed “Otto Kuntroll”:

“Safeguard our elections: kill Trump.”

“Somebody needs to shoot that grifting [expletive], Trump.”

“He won’t stop until someone puts him down like the mad dog that he is.”

Ramey believes one person is behind both the postcards and the online messages, based on identical wording. Investigators have not confirmed that.

Records only law enforcement can get

Bandzoogle, which hosts WeTheJ6ers.com, and GiveSendGo both keep the IP addresses behind these messages, and both release them only at the direct request of law enforcement. Ramey told the Secret Service this in his first reply on September 12. He has seen no sign the request was made.

“Is there anything being done to pursue who this individual is?” he asked the agency on September 22. By October 7, he called reporting more threats “pretty much futile.”

What the law says

Threatening the President is a federal felony. The messages may violate:

• 18 U.S.C. § 871: threats against the President, up to 5 years in prison
• 18 U.S.C. § 875(c): threats sent across state lines, including online, up to 5 years
• 18 U.S.C. § 876(c): threats sent by mail, up to 5 years
• 18 U.S.C. § 2261A: stalking by mail or internet, up to 5 years
• 18 U.S.C. § 119: exposing officials’ home addresses to intimidate, up to 5 years

Whether a message is a prosecutable “true threat” is for prosecutors to decide. That’s exactly why Ramey went to them.

“Our goal is simple,” he said. “We want law enforcement to act on the threats against the President.”
