From ABC News. Member of white supremacy group indicted for threatening federal officials: DOJ
(snip) A member of a white supremacist online terror group has been indicted for allegedly conspiring to develop a hit list of "high value targets" for assassination -- including federal officials, according to the Justice Department.
(snip) Federal prosecutors allege that 24-year-old Noah Lamb was part of a broader group called "The Terrorism Collective," which is a group that communicates on the site Telegram, an encrypted messaging server.
The group promotes "white supremacist accelerationism: an ideology centered around the belief that the white race is superior; that society is irreparably corrupt and cannot be saved by political action," according to federal prosecutors.

probably think that federal prisoners were being excessively coddled by Joe Biden and Barrack Obama.
Hard times are probably ahead for them.
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
