Police were dispatched toward Smith’s residence but were called off when they learned it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the prosecution of former President Donald Trump in two federal cases, was the target of an attempted swatting at his Maryland residence on Christmas Day.
According to two law enforcement sources, someone called 911 and said that Smith had shot his wife at the address where Smith lives.
Montgomery County Police dispatched units toward the home but were called off when the Deputy U.S. Marshals protecting Smith and his family told police that it was a false alarm and that everyone inside the home was safe.
No arrests have been made in connection with the incident.
You know what, fuck it, you’re all right. Nothing the poor little US Gov’t can do against the mighty hackers, because they’re behind 9 proxies. “New” technology which has existed for decades doesn’t have ANY regulation, what there is doesn’t count because fuck me is why, and if there’s a crime committed using said technology it’s not illegal yet because the law doesn’t specify the kind of modem that makes the act a crime 🤦
You lot are fucking bonkers, “lemmy” tell ya.
