A convicted Jan. 6 rioter has now been found guilty of plotting to murder FBI agents who were investigating the Capitol insurrection.

The orange convict threatens people everyday and still walks free. His kill list is anyone that's a Dem or a Lib.

The dude is violent on January 6, 2021, hurts cops, is convicted, is awaiting sentencing in April, apparently is free to do what he wants until then … and so starts plotting to blow up the Knoxville FBI office? And now he’s waiting to be sentenced in May for that. Is this psycho still walking around free all this time?
