FBI Bulletin Warns of Bomb Threat, Spike in Calls for ‘Civil War’ After Raid of Trump’s Resort
Threats to law enforcement have spiked since the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s resort, according to a joint intelligence bulletin circulated on Aug. 12, with one threat warning of a bomb at the bureau’s headquarters.
“This Bulletin is being shared in light of an increase in threats and acts of violence, including armed encounters, against law enforcement, judiciary, and government personnel, in reaction to the FBI’s recent execution of a court-authorized search warrant in Palm Beach, Florida,” the bulletin (pdf) stated.
The threats following the Aug. 8 raid of Mar-a-Lago are primarily coming from online, according to the bulletin. They have been posted across multiple platforms, including social media sites, forums, and video sharing sites.
One threat was to place a so-called dirty bomb in front of the FBI’s headquarters in Washington while others have identified specific proposed targets, including U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the search warrant that agents executed at Trump’s resort.
The U.S. court at which Reinhart works removed Reinhart’s page after his action was first disclosed.
Posts reviewed by The Epoch Times on social media platforms showed users saying Reinhart committed treason, and some users reportedly called for Reinhart to be executed.
Cincinnati Attack
The bulletin noted that an armed man, later named as Ricky Shiffer Jr., tried forcing his way into the FBI’s Cincinnati, Ohio office on Aug. 11. A review of Shiffer’s devices and online activity found he was likely driven by “anti-FBI beliefs,” according to the bulletin, which said that Shiffer called on others to obtain weapons and kill federal law enforcement and said he was fighting in a “civil war.”
Screenshots showed Shiffer posted on Truth Social, Trump’s social media site, including one post telling followers, “If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I.” The Trump Media
