[Lnc-business] Motion to censure Benjamin Leder

Wed Jul 10 22:28:06 EDT 2019

These are serious allegations. Specific, credible threats to the 
convention should be reported to the FBI San Antonio Field Office at 
210-225-6741. You may be able to get them to send the Assistant Special 
Agent In Charge to the Austin LNC meeting to discuss threats and 
security for the convention.
