Virginia resident Peter Stinson, who served in the Coast Guard as a Lieutenant from 1988 to 2021 and received awards for his sharpshooting skills, is named in the criminal complaint by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for allegedly leveling a host of violent online threats against Trump, ABC News reported.

Prosecutors said Stinson, who was also a FEMA instructor during the same time frame — and “self-identified” ANTIFA member — used his accounts on X and Bluesky to detail threats against Trump from 2020 through the current year, including allegedly talking about how he would “pull the trigger” to get rid of Trump.

The report provided a few other examples from the complaint.

It read:

“I’d be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract. Who wants to join me?” Stinson said. “We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. Then, we can focus on the coronavirus itself.”

A Fox News report provided further details from the court documents of the case that it obtained.

Stinson allegedly made graphic threats against Trump involving guns, poisoning, and even knives on multiple social media platforms. 

Some of the threats were allegedly made following the assassination attempt on the president’s life at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024. Stinson allegedly wrote, at the time, “Most of us are not capable. As noted before, I’m not a good enough shot. Very few people are. Somebody needs to learn this lesson… You want to play in the big leagues, you need the talent. Luck is not a plan… Execution is critical.”

The court documents also allegedly made several references to “8647,” which the FBI claimed were likely a reference to former FBI Director James Comey’s “8647” post that landed Comey in hot water.

“The post by Comey was interpreted in the news media as a violent threat to President Trump and prompted an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service. STINSON has since made 13 additional posts on Bluesky, including the text, ‘8647’,” the document states.

The most recent post was made on June 11 on Bluesky and allegedly read, “When he dies, the party is going to be yuge.”

Stinson has yet to enter a plea and is expected back in court on Wednesday to deal with federal charges of making threats to kill the president.
