Pennsylvania Man Arrested Over Threats To FBI After Trump Raid
The FBI arrested a Pennsylvania man on Monday for allegedly writing threatening messages against federal law enforcement in response to the Department of Justice investigation of former President Donald Trump.
Adam Bies of Mercer, Pennsylvania, posted the messages on the right-wing site Gab in response to the FBI’s search of Trump’s Florida home for documents he’d taken from the White House.
“Every single piece of shit who works for the FBI in any capacity, from the director down to the janitor who cleans their fucking toilets deserves to die,” Bies wrote, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit. “You’ve declared war on us and now it’s open season on YOU.”
The FBI has charged Bies with threatening law enforcement officers, according to court documents. He faces fines and prison time if convicted.
Trump condemned the raid on his Mar-a-Lago residence in a statement saying the Justice Department had been weaponized against him. Elected Republicans amplified the message, suggesting any investigation of the former president is improper and vowing to retaliate with investigations of their own. Some lawmakers even said the FBI should be defunded or destroyed.
The FBI raid on Trump's home tells us one thing.
