An indictment unsealed today in the District of Columbia charges a Maryland resident with influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment.

The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Michael G. Sullivan of the United States Capitol Police.

Seth Jason, of Edgewater, Maryland, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police and the Anne Arundel Police Department early this morning, July 17, 2025. Jason will make his initial appearance this afternoon before a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court

According to the indictment, between Oct. 11, 2023, and Jan. 21, 2025, Jason made threatening calls to the Dalton and Rome District Offices for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, Ga.).

The U.S. Capitol Police investigation revealed that the phone calls were made from various phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters, where Jason had worked as a longtime employee. In eight calls made over fifteen months, Jason threatened the use of firearms to kill Rep. Greene, her staff, and their families.

The charges in the indictment are merely allegations and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The maximum penalty for influencing a federal official by threatening a family member and influencing a federal official by threat is ten years imprisonment. The maximum penalty for interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure is five years imprisonment. The maximum penalty for anonymous telecommunications harassment is two years imprisonment. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes. If convicted of any offense, a defendant’s sentence will be determined by the court based on the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The investigation into this matter was conducted by the U.S. Capitol Police and State Department Office of Inspector General, with valuable assistance from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland and the Anne Arundel Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis Wolf and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Horan of the Federal Major Crimes Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.

Someone has never had multiple Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders.

The government's definition of "permanent" is somewhat less permanent than...well, permanent.

Yep. Early 1980s, PCS back to CONUS after 3 years, during in-processing, was told my PCS was changed to another command. Out-processed that same afternoon, handed new printed orders (still warm) and out the door I went.

Didn't even get to sit on the Group W bench...


"... at the pleasure of the DOD and USAF..."

Just from reading the thread title, I was thinking maybe we're going a bit dramatic over someone's free speech rights.

But he made it over several months and from the Voice of America HQ???

He needs to be indicted for criminal stupidity.
