Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Edward Kelley, a Tennessee man pardoned for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol assault, was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to attack FBI agents and seeking to incite a 'civil war.' Kelley created a 'kill list' of FBI agents and distributed it to a co-conspirator. He was convicted of conspiracy charges and viewed the FBI as the enemy, targeting them for assassination. The Justice Department stated that Kelley identified 36 law enforcement personnel to target, including names, titles, and cell phone numbers.
