“I have a stolen ar15 (sic) and a target I refuse to name so I can continue to get away with my plans,” the threat read in part, according to court records. “Without a specific victim or ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack.”
Officials used phone records and an IP address to connect the submission to Sissel, according to court records.
Sissel has also been connected to several Reddit accounts with usernames like “ShootUpTrumpRally,” “PlanningToShootTrump” and “WillShootTrumpSoon,” according to court records.
When contacted at a hotel in Canton, Sissel told officials he believed Trump was a threat and that progressive and politically left groups were not violent enough, according to court records.
“Sissel said that he wouldn’t kill Trump, but if he knew someone was going to assassinate Trump that it was his (Sissel’s) duty to not intervene,” the complaint reads. “Sissel said that he hated conservative Christians, who he enjoyed threatening.”
