The judge should have given this shithead 15 years and one day.
Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump's envoy for special missions, said Wednesday he was rattled while giving a victim impact statement in court before a man convicted of sending a threatening message to him was sentenced to prison.
Scott Bolger, 33, of McLean, Virginia, was sentenced to 15 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty in February to transmitting threats in interstate commerce.
Grenell said that on Dec. 23 he answered a telephone call from Bolger, who called him a "coward," according to CBS News. Bolger then sent Grenell a text message through a Google Voice account that read, "Step on U Street and get a bullet put between your eyes, loyalist pig skin [expletive]."
But government attorneys said they were unable to trace the anonymous calls to Bolger.
The Google Voice account used by Bolger was registered using a fake email address to evade detection. After receiving a call that displayed a phone number and hearing Bolger call him a "coward," Grenell notified the FBI.
In his statement, Grenell said he is accustomed to criticism from both sides as a gay conservative, but he described Bolger as "unhinged," and said his actions crossed the line.
Grenell told the court, "I don't want there to be a victim like my friend, Charlie Kirk." He said he forgives Bolger but added that he is "fearful of the day he gets out."
After the hearing, Grenell told CBS News about the experience of being in the same courtroom as Bolger.
"I was surprised that you walk over, and you're steps away from the guy who wants to kill you," Grenell said. He also said that he thought the 15-month prison sentence was adequate."

And of course, the media is playing down his political affiliation, blaming it on a "personal instability."
"While he has a Democratic voter registration in West Virginia, both the prosecution and those close to him indicated that his actions stemmed from personal instability rather than a political agenda. Bolger was sentenced in June 2026 to 15 months in federal prison for the threat."
