A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 others for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand juror’s purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, Inc., a non-partisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting on other social media sites the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors.
— Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were “using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur” in posts online.
I thought that was mighty convenient verbiage when I saw it too. Donald Trump is the deified god-incarnate of every 14 year old internet edgelord. Unfortunately that also represents the political desires of roughly (30%) of the electorate.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Heh, they themselves would be the literal "rigger"s here, by doxxing the judges in an attempt to sway the judgement
