Federal prosecutors told a federal judge that they’re prosecuting an elderly man because his actions constitute a ” significant threat” to the legal system.

(a) He smuggled stolen FBI documents to a suspected Al-qaeda prisoner in the NY jail.
(b) He attended court hearings and made belligerent outbursts.
(c) He wrote nasty letters to prosecutors and judges accusing them of corruption.
Actually, all he did was distribute pamphlets outside the courthouse.
