Gab User Charged With Threats To Murder FBI Agents

August 15, 2022 Extremists, Trump cultists

CNN reports:

The Justice Department unsealed charges on Monday against a Pennsylvania man who allegedly threatened to kill FBI agents after investigators searched Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida.

Investigators said that Adam Bies of Mercer, Pennsylvania, has been threatening federal agents on the social media site Gab for months. Agents weren’t alerted to Bies’ posts until after the search at Mar-a-Lago.

According to court documents, Bies, who posted under the username “BlankFocus,” repeatedly threatened to kill FBI agents. In a series of posts on August 11 — three days after the search — Bies allegedly wrote that he was willing to die in order to harm as many FBI agents as possible.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports:

Adam Bies, 46, is charged in U.S. District Court with influencing, impeding or retaliating against federal law officers. He is in U.S. custody and was to make an initial appearance Monday before a federal magistrate judge.

He compared the FBI to the Nazi SS and the Soviet-era KGB and said everyone at the FBI, from agents to janitors, should be killed. “My only goal is to kill more of them before I drop,” he wrote on Thursday. “I will not spend one second of my life in their custody.”

After an emergency request for information, Gab provided subscriber data for “Adam Campbell,” which the FBI said is an alias that Bies said he used “so that corporate Murica’ can’t google me out of a job.” Agents tracked Bies’ IP address to his residence on Falls Road in rural Mercer County.

Bolding is mine.
