Charles Turner Habermann Arrested For Death Threats of Congressman Jim McDermott

Copycat or patsy? As Congress talks about stricter gun control laws on both sides, an arrest has been made of a California man. Authorities claim Charles Turner Habermann made threatening calls to Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA). Authorities claim the calls centered around Habermann upset that a chunk of his $3 million trust fund was going to be taken away in taxes.

Habermann admits to making phone calls to Habermann but says he would never have threatened the Congressman because he would risk losing the trust fund. OK, it's not cool to threaten Congressmen with violence. Make no mistake, violence is not the answer to deal with your political discourse. I want to hear audio of the threats.

You have to wonder about something here. The calls took place over a month ago. Why did it take until now, after the Tuscon Safeway tragedy, to arrest this man? Are the feds trying to make a statement after last Saturday's tragic shooting?

If this Congressman's life was in danger when these calls were made over a month ago, why did the Feds wait so long to bring this man to justice? Just an observation...
