FBI Warning About January 6th "War" Threats Appeared On Pro-Trump Message Board

    "WE are the military. And we will be wild. By order of our Commander in Chief," former TheDonald.win user EagleKneivel wrote in late December in a now-deleted post on the site:


    EagleKneivel is apparently referring to President Donald Trump's December 19th tweet, as reported by the New York Times:

“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”
    On Tuesday, a Washington Post story quoted an internal FBI document quoting and unidentified "online thread" making threats related to pro-Trump protests scheduled for last Wednesday, January 6th: "Be ready to fight. Congress needs to hear glass breaking, doors being kicked in, and blood from their BLM and Pantifa slave soldiers being spilled. Get violent. Stop calling this a march, or rally, or a protest. Go there ready for war. We get our President or we die. NOTHING else will achieve this goal."


    Research by The Script indicates this threat was posted on January 2, 2021, by EagleKneivel on TheDonald.win:


    This post has since been deleted also, but it is unclear if this was done by the user or the moderators of the TheDonald.win. Efforts to reach the moderators have been unsuccessful so far.

    Another quote in the Post story was by another former TheDonald.win user, Glyff: "if Antifa or BLM get violent, leave them dead in the street":

    This post has also been deleted, but is still available via a Google archive:


    Other deleted posts by EagleKneivel are similarly threatening, among them: "So are you loading magazines and cleaning your weapons, or are you waiting for others to solve your problems?," "We have the 2nd amendment. And a couple hundred million patriots that are going to use it when the inevitable time comes," and "And that is exactly why President Trump wants several million angry patriots within a few hundred yards of the proceedings. And he will have them."



    The FBI has not responded to The Script's request for comment.
