    "We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this, right here,” he said, gesturing to the crowd and holding up his fist.

      FBI would be the ones with jurisdiction, and they are mostly right wing. There’s never been a director of the FBI that wasn’t registered Republican. That should tell you just how likely they are to take this threat seriously.

      But, IOKIYAR.
