NBC reports extremists have gone nuts in striking out against anyone who had a hand in Trump's NY case.
"Advance Democracy, a nonprofit that conducts public interest research, said there has been a high volume of social media posts containing violent rhetoric targeting New York Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, including a post with Bragg’s purported home address. The group also found posts of the purported addresses of jurors on a fringe internet message board known for pro-Trump content and harassing and violent posts, although it is unclear if any actual jurors had been correctly identified.
The posts, which have been reviewed by NBC News, appear on many of the same websites used by Trump supporters to organize for violence ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. These forums were hotbeds of threats inspired by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, which he lost, and that the voting system was “rigged” against him. They now feature new threats echoing Trump’s rhetoric and false claims about the hush money trial, including that the judicial system is now “rigged” against him.
"“Dox the Jurors. Dox them now,” one user wrote after Trump’s conviction on a website formerly known as “The Donald,” which was popular among participants in the Capitol attack. (That post appears to have been quickly removed by moderators.)"

Cohen's family information has been posted, including family names, addresses, and telephone numbers. Harassing calls, emails, and texts have inundated the family. The harassment included large numbers of pizzas showing up late at night.
Truth Social, Trump's site, has calls to hang and kill jurors, as well as police and others associated with Tump's violent rhetoric. No one is safe if they are tied to his reckless actions.
