SOunds more like a CYA moment to cover for Wray. I would bet money that the entire incident was Started and Promoted by the FBI, they most likely intentionally went after a few marginalized crazy guys and and pumped them up with crap and got them riled up enough to join their Plot, just to arrest them afterwards to make Wray appear to be truthful.
I GUARANTEE YOU the FBI played a Major Role in the entire Setup and wouldn’t believe anything any of them say or produce.
I'd be willing to bet serious money that NONE of the people charged will ever see the inside of a court room outside of some 'plea deal'. If I were on a jury in this case, my only real question would be, "What did they actually do?" If they didn't actually take concrete steps to actually off the bitch or something, they'd walk, because there is no way in hell I'd vote to convict.
