LOS ANGELES – A San Pedro man who called the Washington, D.C. office of United States Representative Maxine Waters and threatened to kill the congresswoman pleaded guilty today to a federal felony offense stemming from the threat.
Anthony Scott Lloyd, 45, pleaded guilty to one count of threatening a United States official.
Lloyd entered the guilty before United States District Judge Stephen V. Wilson, who scheduled a sentencing hearing for July 16. At the time of sentencing, Lloyd will face a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.
According to a plea agreement filed in this case, Lloyd called Rep. Waters’ office on October 22, 2017 and left a voicemail laced with expletives and epithets. The message used the words “dead” and “kill” a total of four times.
Lloyd admitted in the plea agreement that he “left this recorded message with the intent to impede, intimidate, interfere with, and retaliate against Congresswoman Waters, while she was engaged in and on account of the performance of her official duties.”
This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which received assistance from the United States Capitol Police, Threat Assessment Section.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jake Nare of the General Crimes Section.

Is the Law truly equal in it’s application… or is it selectively applied?
Can Maxine Waters be charged with the intent to impede, intimidate, interfere with, and retaliate against the President, while he is/was engaged in and on account of the performance of his official duties?
And what about her recent calls to confront and harass political opponents? Is there any law here that she can be charged with? Free speech is free speech but this is like yelling fire in a crowded theater…. irresponsible !
Shame on you Maxine!
I got hope she dies of gagging on her own shit she spills out
