I read of an earlier report where it stated the FBI had already previously interviewed this character. Lead one to believe this was not his first rodeo regarding threats made.
However, the FBI has a solid secure record of lying so there’s really no way to know at this point what the truth is.
This is an interesting article about what has happened to the FBI; kind of long but worth the read:

“...there’s really no way to know at this point what the truth is.”
Finally, a rational comment.
“However, the FBI has a solid secure record of lying so there’s really no way to know at this point what the truth is.”
20 years ago if the FBI said this is the way it went down I would believe them. Today I do not have that same faith. Perhaps it was as said or perhaps not.
