It's not just a guy who was threatening Biden/Harris - He wanted to kill them for prosecuting Trump

THIS ⬇️ is why a protective order is needed in Trump’s criminal cases to prevent Trump’s identifying witnesses to his deranged loyalists. Who he incites.

ABC kinda buried it in this piece. But it's not just a guy who was threatening Biden. It's about a guy threatening to kill Biden and others involved in the Trump indictments. i.e. part of the feral Trump terror world

The complaint includes numerous social media posts believed to have been made by Robertson threatening to kill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as several officials involved in prosecuting former President Donald Trump.

I mean the guy I'd imagine lacked the means to do any of this, he's 75 years old and these are people who are well-protected. He's not freaking Jason Bourne.

To post this crap on the internet like this and then get in a gunfight with the FBI when they came to collect him?

His 'dying a martyr' I would bet was his plan all along frankly

by Jeffrey Toobin (like him or not, he's a good writer) "Homegrown - Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism." He bombed the government building in Oklahoma City - a direct line to the January 6 insurrection. He was obsessed with right-wing literature and Rush Limbaugh, before the internet even became a thing. He was a self-professed separatist, abhorred immigration and wanted women to return to traditional roles. 168 killed, including 19 children, with several hundred more injured.
