A criminal complaint was unsealed today charging Edward Kelley, 33, of Maryville, Tennessee, and Austin Carter, 26, of Knoxville, Tennessee, with conspiracy, retaliating against a federal official, interstate communication of a threat, and solicitation to commit a crime of violence. Kelley and Carter made their initial appearance in federal court today in Knoxville before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jill E. McCook. Both defendants have been detained. Carter has a detention hearing scheduled for Dec. 21.

According to court documents, Kelley, who is facing charges in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia related to his assault on a law enforcement officer during the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, obtained a list of law enforcement personnel who participated in that criminal investigation. In conversations with a cooperating witness, Kelley and Carter discussed collecting information and plans to kill the individual law enforcement personnel on the list that included an attack on the FBIs Knoxville, Tennessee Field Office.

Should have just kept him in prison in the first place

Tennessee is some kind of traitorous. I swear half these dudes are from Tennessee.

They did him a favor..."unfortunately."

I'd like to know how he got a list of the people working on that investigation. I'm assuming that isn't public info?

Dammit, I hate when my hometown makes the news.

That "they pushed down and maced me" chick was from Knoxville too.

what the fuck, how did that even happen? that seems like a big breach of sensitive information.

these treasonous fuckers should be locked up for the rest of their lives.

Why the fuck do they give these people such light sentences? If you're gonna give them a slap on the wrist, they're gonna try again. These people aren't just poor hapless fools that just happened to be there.

Everyday someone who shouldn't even be in jail gets a heavier sentence

Same energy as this tbh
