"This certainly sounds like a threat against prosecutors and/or witnesses," he wrote.
National security attorney Bradley Moss also chimed in.
"Pre-sentencing report, Exhibit #4,288," Moss wrote upon sharing the post from Trump.
The New York Times writer Maggie Haberman simply wrote, "Make 2024 2020 Again."
Former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann also mentioned the threat: "This is the kind of thing that DOJ alerts the court to with respect to any defendant out on bail (in this case, in 3 criminal cases, and also is a threat in civil cases like E Jean Carroll)," he wrote. "Not addressing this will only cause it to metastasize with undue deadly risks."
