‘The charge that justified the raid in the first place is sedition, making war against the United States. The charge is based on an alleged plot to kill local law enforcement. The issue I have is based on the simple fact that getting over on local law enforcement is emphatically NOT waging war against the United States.”

According to this piece the Agent can’t even remember the facts of the case AND didn’t even listen to all the tapes.
Seems a case of profiling was in effect. If I had heard such threats being made I would REMEMBER THAT.
You are assuming the headline is factual. We shall see. The Judge seems to be suspecious.
My take comes from reading the indictment. The facts stated in the indictment, even if they are true, don't seem to support the charge. And then, as you point out, the actual contents of the tape may be "watered down" from what the indictment claims.
