CEO Matt Harrigan Who Plotted “Sniper Attack” Against Trump Has Been Placed on “Administrative Leave”
Matt Harrigan, President, and CEO of a PacketSled plotted to assassinate President-Elect Donald Trump and then posted his plans online.
Truthfeed.com was one of the first to report on this.
Soon after our story broke, Matt Harrigan wrote a statement and placed it on his website, claiming it was a “joke” which everyone simply “misunderstood.”
That statement has since been removed from the website.
The company issued this statement on their facebook page.
It’s not enough that this violent and unhinged lunatic is placed on “administrative leave.”
He must be terminated – and face the legal consequences of what he said.
To make matters worse, Harrigan continues to refuse to take responsibility for his actions and has taken to social media to once again LIE and claim it was all a “misunderstood private joke.”
Unacceptable.
These violent liberals who lack the mental and emotional faculties to process “loss” and accept “democracy” like adults, will learn the hard and costly way that those of us who exercised our right to VOTE peacefully, will NOT stand for this garbage.
Our society will return to law and order whether these idiots like it or not.
Please, continue to put pressure on PacketSled until they do the RIGHT THING and terminate this monster.

WOW packetsled does network security….Needs to start with this moron, he’s unhinged!
He’s the CEO. I don’t understand how he can be fired.
It’s a publicly traded company
It’s not a publicly traded company. It’s a small privately owned company with two co-founders and three other people on the board of directors
These companies have boards which can fire the senior executive team, including the CEO.
The shareholders own the company, CEO is just a job like any other.
I believe anyone can be relieved of their position, if it is found that they are acting in an unlawful manner and/or not in the best interests of the company.
He was not fired. He was given a paid vacation.
this. After the smoke clears he’ll be right back like he didn’t miss a beat
Lying Loretta Lynch will see to it that he is not charged with any offense!
WELL HE EITHER NEEDS TO BE FIRED OR ARRESTED OR BOTH !!!
The board can do it, I believe. Large companies can move their CEO’s out if the Board Of Directors wishes to do so if they can prove the CEO is putting the company at risk. But in this case the guy knew that he could have done harm to the company.
The hell with harming the company. This idiot needs to k ow that words have consequences. Even if it was a truly stupid moronic inside joke his words could give some unhinged person out there the idea that if a CEO of a company says it then it is ok to DO it. What the hell is wrong with this moron???
He needs to be arrested for that remark!!! he is making other people want to do the same!
He can get fire by investor members
It’s against the law to threaten anyone with bodily harm. It’s totally unethical and unproffesional behavior too. You don’t even joke about violent threats and he claims he was joking? There’s nothing funny about threatening a person.
Time To stop these threats. Jail. BAM. Maybe he would not have done anything but some nut may here that and take the challenge. We’ve seen signs about Rape Melanie and kill his family. Where is our President? WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT?
In hiding!
This is not acceptable!! It is a joke now that he got caught!! He needs to be fired ASAP
DO NOT BELIEVE PACKETSLED! THEY LIED ABOUT MATT HARRIGAN RESIGNING. DON’T BELIEVE ME? CALL THEM, AND PRESS IN THE FIRST FOUR LETTERS OF HIS LAST NAME! MATT HARRIGAN STILL HAS A PHONE, AN EXTENSION, AND AN ANSWERING MACHINE WITH PACKETSLED! I URGE YOU ALL TO CONTACT THE INVESTORS OF THIS LYING COMPANY AND TELL THEM TO DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES WITH THEM! I HAVE CONTACTED THE U.S. SECRET SERVICE! NOT SURE WHY HE HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED AND ARRESTED. BUT, I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THEY DO! I WILL ALSO CONTACT TRUMP! IF ANYTHING, I AM SURE HE WILL STEP UP AND CONVICT ANYONE WHO THREATENED HIS LIFE! IT IS JUST SO SAD THAT OBAMA HAS NOT SPOKEN OUT ON THIS MATTER. APPARENTLY, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH OBAMA IS “ALL FOR TRUMP’S ASSASSINATION.” I PUT NOTHING PAST HIM. TRUMP HAS ACCUSED OF DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY! IF ANYTHING, OBAMA HAS DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY!!!! HE EVEN CAME OUT AND PRAISED THE YOUTHS WHO DESTROYED CITIES AND PRAISED THEM FOR TAKING A STAND BY CITING, “PIGS IN A BLANKET; FRY ‘EM LIKE BACON.” OBAMA ALSO DIVIDED THIS COUNTRY WHEH HE MADE A NUCLEAR DEAL WITH IRAN–THATS RIGHT–PEOPLE WHO WANT US DEAD!!!! THREE DAYS AFTER THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL WAS SIGNED, THE IRANIANS WERE OUT IN THE STREETS OF IRAN CHANTING, “DEATH TO AMERICA AND DEATH TO ISRAEL.” NOW, OBAMA IS ATTEMPTING TO DIVIDE OTHER COUNTRIES! HE DARES TO CALL HIMSELF A CHRISTIAN AND YET WANTS TO GIVE THE PALESTINIANS JERUSALEM??? SHAME ON HIM!!!! IF HE WERE A CHRISTIAN (WHICH IT IS CLEAR HE IS NOT), HE WOULD KNOW THAT THE BIBLE (WORD OF GOD) SAYS THAT GOD, HIMSELF, MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM AND GAVE ALL OF THE PROMISED LAND TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE! THIS INCLUDES ALL OF ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, THE WEST BANK, THE GAZA STRIP, AND EVEN JORDAN!!! GOD WARNED HE WOULD POUR OUT HIS WRATH ON ANYONE WHO DIVIDED THIS LAND! OBAMA THINKS HE CAN BEAT GOD? GOOD LUCK, OBAMA! GOD WILL WIN! YOU ARE NOT GOD DESPITE THE FACT YOU “THINK” YOU ARE AND EVEN PUT DOWN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT–SAYING IT WAS SUCH A RADICAL SPEECH THAT ITS APPLICATIONS WOULD NOT HOLD TRUE TODAY! HATE TO SAY THIS OBAMA; BUT, JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER! SO, EVEN IF YOU OR YOUR SECRET SERVICE DOES NOT PROTECT DONALD TRUMP, I KNOW THAT GOD WILL! AND, UNLIKE YOU WHO CHARGED ISRAEL WITH WAR CRIMES, DONALD TRUMP STANDS BY ISRAEL! THANK GOD WE FINALLY HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS A CHRISTIAN WITH MORALS AND VALUES AS OUR NEW PRESIDENT!
Amen
He’s a fucking anarchist
This guy can’t laugh off ‘it was just a joke, i was just kidding’. He was openly talking to the world about killing the President of the United States, what a worthless sack. He will be arrested and imprisoned by his little ‘joke’.
Calling for the death of a president used to be illegal but liberals seem to be exempt.
Yeah and the Secret service will be just kidding when they cuff and stuff him.
So I’m guessing if people were posting the same kind of messages about Barack OBama on twitter that Matt was about Trump yesterday, people could get out of it by saying it’s was just a misunderstood joke when the secret service showed up at your house?
No they would be arrested
He will be terminated but first HR must conduct an “investigation” so he can’t come back and sue for unlawful termination.
We need to drain the HR swamp
Yep
Exactly. Covering all angles. No blow back. Will he be charged for this threat?
throw his ass in prison for 10 to 20 and he can laugh at his stupidity
“throw his ass in prison for 10 to 20 and he can laugh at his stupidity”
Perfect. Exactly what must be done with ANYONE who ever threatens the life of ANY US president. Only thing I’d change in your comment is “he” to we. I don’t care for Obama or Hillary, but to call for their assasination or even think it is beyond sick. It is beyond sick to want anyone to die, but it is also WAY beyond STOOOOPID (yes I can spell stupid) to publicly announce the intent to kill any prior, current POTUS or a president elect. So love trumps hate huh….Yeah right…Throw his a** in jail immediately I say.
18 U.S.C. § 879 : US Code – Section 879: Threats against former Presidents and certain other persons- (a) Whoever knowingly and willfully threatens to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon – (2) a member of the immediate family of the President, the President-elect, the Vice President, or the Vice President-elect; shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/41/879
Yes, it is against the law, and n another day and age–he would be lawfully dealt with.
Sounds like there are a number of people who could be prosecuted under this statute and the results of the election are only a week old!
It’s social media. Get off your high horse.
It’s a threat. Sort of like what kids do before they shoot up their schools and kill their classmates. It is also totally against the law-on social media or any other place. It is not a “joke”. I worry about your kids I, mom, if this is the way you would treat a very specific threat from them.
Are you living in a fantasy world? Is this what you do on public social media? If someone threatened to kill your children on social media would you dismiss it? You and he would be the perfect match, then.
He’s a fucking white male!!!
And you’re a racist moron, whatever your color.
Yea than tell him it’s a joke moron
What the hell does skin color have to do with it .It’s people like you that destroy our country
I let the secret service know bout him. We don’t need this in our country. Tim Holcomb, USAF Veteran
Im sooo glad you reported him. I was going to today myself. Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you. I just read on their facebook page that he resigned.
This is a ploy by the Russians to bring down America. Matt Harrigan was hacked by Russians! Americans understand the need to remove the Kremlin controlled leader from our office and instate the real president, Hillary Clinton into office. Matt would never say that. It’s the Russians trying to bring down good, hard working Americans, as they take over our country. You need to support George Soro’s and restore democracy! Our livelihood depends on it!
John #Spirit Cooking Podesta
It was not the Russians. He did this himself. It was not a joke.
Kimberly….”John Podesta” is being SARCASTIC.
I think “sarcasm” is overplayed, overdone and old and quite frankly should be outlawed…I know how important it is to humor..but honestly, there are other ways to be clever and funny, without saying the opposite of what you mean…(now was I using sarcasm or not) …I rest my case…..or do I? See you have absolutely no idea of where I’m coming from..so if it offends you I can say I’m just kidding…Your thoughts….or not.
i.e. Amy Schumer’isms
omg
LOL!!
Excellent post ‘John’.
This is NOTHING to Joke about !! He is also trying to say that he was just joking !!! You DON’T threaten the President of the United States with assassination !!!!!
Your a communist sympathizer yourself Podesto. Trump won the election by a wide margin. And all you liberals want to to is wine and cry. The american people have spoken you ingrate POS. We watched your films and know your background and it’s not acceptable in our society. So move to another country your not welcome here.
JOHN PODESTA, THAT IS PURE BULLSHIT !!! RUSSIA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS CEO PRICK !!! YOU SOUND LIKE THE CRIMINAL HILLARY, EVERYTHING WAS A RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY OR IT WAS RUSSIA’S FAULT! !! IT IS WHAT IT IS !!! RUSSIA HASN’T DONE ANYTHING TO THIS MORON !!! LIKE HILLARY HE DID IT TO HIMSELF, SHE LOST THE ELECTION BY DOING IT TO HERSELF !!! SHE WAS A CRIMINAL AND THANK GOD SHE GOT CAUGHT !!! ANYBODY WHO TAKES MILLIONS FROM FOREIGN GOVERNMENT’S IS SELLING SOMETHING, AND IN HER CASE SHE WAS SELLING AMERICA TO THE MUSLIM COUNTRY’S !!! THANK GOD ASSANGE WAS THERE TO RAT HER OUT !!!!
This man need to go to prison….I’m sure Lee Harvey Oswald would have said the same thing if he had been caught before he was able to carry out his terrible deed….
PacketSled – would that be “PAID” Administrative Leave? Are you just pandering to the outrage toward the man at the very top of your company? That cretin needs to be summarily TERMINATED as his actions are indefensible and proven. What is the point of the administrative leave? To just wait it out until the next scumbag with the judgement of a turnip decides to threaten the life of our next President? THAT is who your company wants representing your brand? Sounds like bad judgement is the cornerstone of your organization. You are all tarnished by this terrorist pig – and leaving him on PAID administrative leave sends a clear message that you may not like what he did, but ultimately condone it once he’s restored to his position. You are a Network Security company and that moron didn’t think his “personal/private” tweets would be found? Doesn’t say much for the level of “security” your company provides, now does it.
Ask the people of San Diego what they think about that Butthead’s comments it is still illegal and you can serve up to five years in prison for it and pay a hefty fine which I’m sure he will get out of this I mean this is kind of a vacation form he still getting paid if any regular citizen Without his means and backing would you say something that idiotic we would be in jail.gym shorts
^^ what MJ Bowers said
I like how ppl on here feel the need to tell this company how to run their business, especially since the author encourages it. He already submitted his resignation ppl…
Packetsled does business with the City of San Diego and I find the comments completely unacceptable from the CEO of a business doing contract work for a City government that supposedly represents ALL residents. It is NOT a laughing matter, it disgusts me and it is reprehensible that Packetsled thinks “Administrative Leave” will make everything okay. It won’t. I sure as hell don’t want my tax dollars paying for an idiot like this! There are consequences to ignorant bigoted behavior from adults. I strongly recommend the Board of Directors get rid of this idiot and that San Diego City Council BAN Pocketsled from any contracts.
I could not agree with you more !! This man needs prison Not a paid vacation……
Here is the info I found:” PacketSled’s CEO Joins San Diego Cyber Center of Excellence Board of Directors” and here is the link:
https://packetsled.com/news/packetsleds-ceo-joins-san-diego-cyber-center-of-excellence-board-of-directors/
It gives names of people you can contact as well as other members of the Board such as Bank of America. The person I would contact is Rear Admiral Kenneth Slaght, co-chair and president of CCOE.
That comment should get him fired! Prison for anyone saying this.they have to fire him.
We as Americans have seen what our voice/vote can do. I say that we should boycott the Packetsled companies and their investments until he is terminated and a apology has been publicly published to the President-Elect and his family.
This POS threatened the future President of the United States, and he is put on Administative leave? Are you FLKN kidding me!!!!!!!!!!! He is a domestic Terrorist..We want him in jail.
On leave are you kidding me? Not acceptable he should be fired now and also arrested and that would happen if he made that threat to President Obama. So why is he not fired and in jail and under arrest for this? As an American I demand that these loud mouth CEO’s get fired for this kind of behavior but because they are rich they get a pass and because they are democrats they get a pass I for one am tired of it. If this guy was a Muslim he be in jail and charged with a hate crime. Fire Him
[…] And he’s been “placed on administrative leave“. […]
The really serious thing is that I reported his original post to the Secret Service and spoke to them on the phone, emailed them his original text. Wonder if they’ll think it’s a joke.
I called their office in Del Mar, California. “That mailbox is full.”
You can’t get through. They’re laying low while this catastrophe unfolds.
May they go out of business this year. That would be karma.
To be fair… administrative leave is code for “we’re rounding up our lawyers to make sure we cover our asses should he sue, but we’re firing him – we just have to say it’s an investigation blah blah blah.” I don’t know much about him prior to this so hopefully he was a figure head and didn’t know much on the technical side, because that could potentially be more damaging if he tried to seek out revenge with backend access on anything for a tech security company.
I personally just got off the telephone with the local Secret Service office, and provided them all the information they need.
It sounded to me like they had no idea of this, yet. But the agent said, “We’ll get right on this.”
Three years in prison for the treasonous Matt Harrigan would be a bare minimum.
Awesome investigative work, April!
I heard on the radio today, Matt Harrigan was on a Mafia hit list. Is this true??
Matt Harrigan will not get away with this with impunity. His new job will be making license plates.
Liberals need to understand we do not find any humor in their threats. I have already contacted my congressmen regarding the threats against Trump and Melania and the violent protests. Now is the time for Republicans to support Trump and their voter base and put some serious pressure in the right places to put an end to theses serious and murderous threats from the Left. The Republicans in Congress have disappointed us over and over again. Now is the time to redeem themselves.

“Kidding” or not why isn’t he in jail for threatening the life of president -elect .
Matt Harrigan — you scum sucking bottom feeder. So you think you are so important, above the law, and entitled that you can threaten our new President? Now you need to be arrested and thrown in jail. Then, may you be swarmed with an army of ants.
Back when we had laws and everyone was expected to follow them, this nutcase would have already been arrested and charged with threatening the President Elect. The Secret Service would have already paid him a visit and given a free ride downtown. He might see daylight when someone else is elected in 4 or 8 years, IF he is a good little jailbird as long as Trump is in office.
Of course, these days, ovomit will invite him to the white house and give him a metal.
Disgusting comments by a CEO. No regard for the investors he is responsible to. How can the board justify not replacing him. Any “average Joe” ” would have been arrested by now!
PACKETSLED MUST FIRE HIM!
BOYCOTT THE COMPANY!! ARREST HIM AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!
MAKE HIS LIFE A LIVING HELL!!!
HE WILL CONTINUE IF NOTHING IS DONE, WHY TAKE THE CHANCE.
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM!! NOT IN THIS COUNTRY BUDDY, YOU THREATEN THE PRESIDENT ELECT OF OUR COUNTRY, YOU GET THROWN IN THE SLAMMER FOR AT LEAST 4-8 YEARS!!!
Can “we the people” just read this turd his maranda rights now in pursuant to 18 U.S. Code § 871 – Threats against President and successors to the Presidency?
I’d like to know the “context” of his comments. Prejudging people is a bad thing.
I’ve said several things in my life out of extreme sarcasm to either show how stupid a comment was, or to piss off someone that was pissing me off. What he said is illegal, but I’m not one to jump on some political bandwagon and side step justice – for anyone.
OOOOOOHHHHHHH! So sweet!
Threatening the president of the United States is a class E felony and punishable up to 5 years in prison. Here are the details:
There are three elements of the offense of making an illegal threat: (i) there must be a transmission in interstate commerce; (ii) there must be a communication containing the threat; (iii) and the threat must be a threat to injure the person of another.
POS Obama should be addressing the American public and denouncing these acts of violents. But why should he bother lifting a finger to work now. 69 days people…69 days.
Typical. If the threat were against Obama he’d be under arrest, not getting a vacation. Yet more proof of lawlessness and corruption by the Obama administration.
He resigned: https://packetsled.com/blog/
Its kinda funny reading through this feed. Does anyone realize how, if you were CEOs, you’d prob also be fired for your comments? Just because you’re not threantening someone’s life doesn’t make it to be rude, unprofessional, inconsiderate and hateful.
His job title should make no difference. The employees are, or should be, held to the same standards from the janitor to the CEO. Simply, if you break the law you should be held accountable for your actions. He broke the law, quite plainly and in a public forum, therefore, he should be held accountable by law. You can’t go in the bank with a ski mask and a gun then tell the officers – it was cold outside and I was afraid of being mugged when it’s pretty clear you’re there to rob the place and expect them to say, Ok, that sounds like something someone would do. No problem. Careful out there.
This ahole deserves 10 yrs in prisons.
PacketSled Sucks.. it’s lame 3 person board sucks.. and Harrigan should be fired and then prosecuted.. this dumb ass thinks he can say whatever he wants and then say it’s a joke… yeah sure it was asswipe! I like how he says Bring It Secret Service… and then ends up crying like a bitch! Too funny… throw this ass in jail let’s see who brings it then!!! Lol

CLEARLY THE MAN HAS SOME MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES , HE SHOULD BE WATCHED CLOSELY AND THE FBI SHOULDN’T LET HIM BACK ON THE STREETS , HE IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER . TO HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY.
