Readers yesterday will note that I alluded to an earlier comment from John Henry Ryskamp (see my blogpost “Enough”, 1/8/14). I do not hide from those who want to post derogatory material about me.

However, I was obliged just now to delete John Henry’s comment, as I received the following e-mail. As I telephoned the sender and obtained oral permission to post it here, I will do so, in extenso.  I suggest it as a caution to those who wish to vent their spleen; no incitement, please.

Comment: Mr. Lew Taishoff,

The United States Marshal Service (USMS) has the responsibility of 
safeguarding the United States Federal Judicial process by providing
protection to U. S. Federal Judges and other members of the 
Judiciary.  The USMS is able to fulfill the Court Security mission 
by investigating all reports of threatening and inappropriate 
communications directed at USMS protected persons.
On March 21, 2014 I was informed of a threatening statement which 
currently appears on your firms website at 
https://taishofflaw.com/2014/01/08/enough/#comments. 
See below 
“Since the Appeals office serves as the trial court (this by the way
is the reasoning of the dog Mark Holmes, who ought to be executed, 
the Notice of determination etc…”  
The statement dated 21 January 2014, 1400 at hrs. bears the 
signature John Riskamp.  This investigation has disclosed the 
existence of a John Henry Ryskamp who is a litigant appearing before
the U.S. Tax Court.  My present interpretation of the statement is
that it is a violation of 18 U.S.C.  2385 Advocating the overthrow 
of the government of the United States.  The statement may also fall
with the realm of 18 U.S.C. 115 Influencing, impeding, or 
retaliating against a Federal official by threatening or injuring 
etc…
The U.S. Marshal Service has the immediate protective interest in 
requesting the removal of the statement from your web site.  I 
appreciate your attention in addressing the security matter.  
Please advise if additional information is required to facilitate 
the request.
 
Thank you,
