Arizona MAGA Arrested for Threatening FBI agents, Federal Employees, Politicians
Federal prosecutors say 37-year-old Michael Lee Tomasi of Rio Verde was arrested on Friday after a grand jury handed down the indictment on three counts of threats against a federal official and three counts of making interstate threats.
According to the indictment, Tomasi made several threatening comments on Patriots.win, a social media site geared toward “supporters of MAGA TRASH and the Twice Impeached, 4 times Indicted, Insurrectionist Donald J Trump,” between May 2021 and November 2023.
Federal officials say that Tomasi, who was also living in Colorado at the time, made comments about a former federal official with the initials: “A.F.” who was “that [explicative] needs to be tortured to death. A.F. is literally worse than Hilter and (Mao) combined. His entire bloodline should be killed off.”
Other posts also included the urge to rape a Congresswoman, execute a different Congressmember and statements that included: “violence is always the answer.” While in Arizona, Tomasi made statements about killing FBI officials, and in one instance, he said they deserved “nothing but instant death.”
Tomasi faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted
for threats against federal officials. A maximum sentence of five years
in prison applies for each count of making threats across state lines.
