The acting U.S. Attorney in Washington already had confirmed plans to review threatening words by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to members of the Supreme Court.

Schumer had said, if they did not vote the way he wanted on an abortion case, "You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you!"

A report from the Gateway Pundit reveals that the prosecutor, Ed Martin, now is adding Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., to the investigation because he advocated for bringing "real weapons" to be used against Elon Musk, who heads President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

The report explained Martin's "Operation Whirlwind" is a "sweeping investigation into Democrats who have made inflammatory statements that could be construed as threats against public officials."

Martin has made his plan clear: "Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees. We are in contact with the FBI and other law enforcement partners to proceed rapidly. We also have our prosecutors preparing."

The report noted the "reckless statements" by both Schumer and Garcia now are under review.

Garcia's comments came in an interview on CNN when he said that Musk is "harming the American public in an enormous way."

He added, "What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk to this bar fight. This an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country."

That prompted Martin to write that he would like Garcia to explain what "sounds to some like a threat to Mr. Musk – an appointed representative of President Donald Trump who you call a 'd—' – and government staff who work for him. Their concerns have led to this inquiry."

Martin explained to Garica that "threats against public officials" are taken "very seriously."

"I look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry after request. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please respond by February 24, 2025. Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call my office or schedule a time to meet in person."

Schumer's comments came during a pro-abortion rally at the Supreme Court.

He named Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh and said, "You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won't know what hit you!"

At the time, Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Schumer for his "dangerous" and "irresponsible" comments.

The report said now Martin's team is even looking into whether Schumer's rhetoric contributed to the attempt assassination of Kavanaugh when a left-wing activist was caught outside the justice's home, armed with weapons.
