AHHHHH, but he didn't "mail it" since it isn't on "paper" he thinks he can get away with it. TIME to upgrade the code.
18 U.S. Code § 871 - Threats against President and successors to the Presidency
U.S. Code
Notes
(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
If convicted of this offense, there may be additional legal consequences besides going to prison:
A fine up to $250,000.00. 18 U.S.C. §3571(b)(3).
A special assessment of $100.00. 18 U.S.C. §3013(a)(2)(A).
Supervised release after imprisonment up to 3 years. 18 U.S.C. §3583(b)(2).
If a resident alien, this crime is considered a deportable offense. 8 U.S.C. §1227(a)(2)(D)(ii).
Continued monitoring by the United States Secret Service, especially online activities.
A person can be convicted of this crime from speech alone. Federal prosecutors are not required to prove that the individual making the threat made any extra efforts to carry out the threat. It is not even necessary to directly communicate the threat to the president. As long as the person making the statement comprehends the effect of the words said and the statement further manifests a determination to carry out the threat, then a felony conviction can stand.
