Raw Story - Jan. 6 rioter convicted after creating a ‘kill list’ of FBI agents who investigated him

A convicted Jan. 6 rioter from Tennessee was found guilty Wednesday in a separate criminal case for his plan to murder federal law enforcement agents who investigated his role in the Capitol attack, according to the Justice Department.

Edward Kelley, 35, of Maryville, Tennessee, developed a “kill list” of FBI agents and other federal employees who investigated his role in the Capitol attack, federal prosecutors said. Edwards distributed that list – along with video images of FBI employees named on the list – to a co-conspirator as part of his “mission," prosecutors said. They added that he planned attacks on the Knoxville FBI Field Office with car bombs and incendiary devices attached to drones.

A jury convicted him Wednesday in federal court of conspiracy to murder federal employees, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and influencing a federal official by threat. The verdict comes about two weeks after he was convicted of assaulting a police officer during the Capitol insurrection and other felony charges related to the attack, the Washington Post reported.

4. Here is what the miscreant who wanted to kill FBI agents looks like.

Too bad the FBI is diligently, but futilely, hoovering up these dangerous "useful idiots" as no doubt the incoming POTUS will pardon them all PDQ in 2025.
