Arrested - Michael Lee Tomasi.
I am very pleased to see that Michael Lee Tomasi has received time in prison and confiscation of his firearms for threatening numerous public officials.
In the winter of 2022, I observed a series of concerning posts on the right-wing extremist forum “The Donald,” which you may remember from a recent piece.
In that investigation, I identified an individual who tried to secretly record voters on Election Day.
What was most concerning about Tomasi was his specifics - in post after post, it was abundantly clear he was ready to deploy violence against various public officials, especially the FBI.
In threat investigations, it is the specifics, in a nation full of lunatics who routinely threaten public officials, which will always raise the most alarms, especially considering the extreme level of vitriol he directed at these officials.
I wrote my report, which slowly worked its way through the system, and in the winter of the following year, agents finally arrived at Tomasi’s home in Rio Verde, Arizona.
