The latest doxxing attempt fits into a pattern of threats against people who speak out against former President Donald Trump.
The addresses and phone numbers of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s family members were posted to a doxxing website after presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in connection with a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election.
Cohen, Trump’s former “fixer,” played a key role in the plot to keep adult film actor Stormy Daniels quiet during the 2016 election and testified against Trump at trial. According to Cohen, Trump said the revelation of Daniels’ story of an affair would be a “total disaster” and “catastrophic” for his 2016 campaign.
Trump, who has denied an affair, was convicted of falsifying business records related to Cohen’s hush money payment to keep Daniels from telling her story. “What I was doing was at the direction of and for the benefit of Mr. Trump,” Cohen, who served time in prison, said at trial.
The person who gave testimony against one of the most dangerous people in the world just had the whereabouts of their spouse and children leaked, and your response is 'wow, look at the tattletales, how childish"
That’s fair. It’s also fair to say that appealing to the Supreme Court isn’t begging. I was using similes to liken their tantrums to childish behavior. See, I did it again.
I didn’t mean to minimize the impact, but ridicule their behavior.
