Phone Call Threatens Obama’s Niece

Source: TDB/USA Today

Authorities tightened security at the Princeton-Maryland NCAA tournament women’s basketball game Monday night, after the University of Maryland’s athletic department received a phone call threatening the life of President Obama’s niece. In the eight-minute voicemail, a woman said a man driving on campus with a Glock handgun was directly connected to the appearance of Princeton freshman Leslie Robinson, the daughter of Michelle Obama’s brother. Robinson was not notified of the threat, but undercover security officers were called in while Secret Service officers were also in the area for Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, according a person who was not authorized to speak publicly because of security issues. President Obama had attended Saturday’s game between Princeton and Wisconsin-Green Bay.

The secret service literally has nothing to do with the Supreme Court Justices.

how much their security has been beefed up over the last three years. As it should be.

That's a lot to work with, I would think. Hope they catch the perpetrator, and soon.

RW idiot? Or a prank? Eight minutes on phone? No way to track? The racial diversity of this society has really been under attack by the modern nazis and racist(s) that reside here in "the land of the free, home of the brave".

My POTUS got a whole lot of these hidden roaches and snakes scampering from the woodwork and swamps to spread their disease(s) and poison(s) of hate, ignorance and stupidity. 6 years of this shit. American as apple pie.

And isn't speaking publicly when you're not authorized to "because of security issues" a security issue?
