Seems the right-wing nutjobs are mad at the FBI for trying to arrest him.

The time is right for a presidential assassination or two, Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. First Joe then Kamala!!!
He also threatened Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, US Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who are all overseeing cases against Trump.
I dreamed I was in a dark corner of a Washington DC parking garage, I was standing over the body of the US Attorney General Merrick Garland with a bullet hole dead center in his forehead, Roberston wrote in all caps in a chilling February post. In my hand was my suppressed Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm, smoke wafting from the muzzle ...

(15,083 posts)I'd be checking into how his wives died.
There was a lot of violent imagery in his quoted words, that suggest he's very comfortable standing over dead bodies.

Here's some more info from that link to the New York Post.
His friend said:
Clark said Robertson was an established icon in their neighborhood and was often outspoken about his political views.
He was a boomer, and he was very political and sometimes made off-color jokes
but nothing that indicated it was a threat, he said, adding that he was frail of health.
One of his posts on SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 says:
LETITIA JAMES
A SNIPER'S BULLET DOES NOT RECOGNIZE
YOUR QUALIFIED IMMUNITY BITCH!!!
A lot of his posts are from nearly a year ago. Why did it take so long to stop him (for making such blatant threats), only days before Biden was there???
They need to beef up security on ALL DEMS.

"I therefore believe this is knowing and willful true threat to kill or cause injury to President Biden using an M24 sniper rifle while being concealed by a ghillie suit during President Biden's visit to Utah," an FBI agent involved in the investigation wrote in the criminal complaint relating to the post on Monday ...
Prior to the search warrant and subsequent fatal shooting on Wednesday, Robertson was charged with three felony counts, the complaint showed, including interstate threats, influencing, impeding, and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat and threats against the president.
