In both instances, Colasurdo reportedly boasted about not being “arrested yet” despite making threats against Trump’s two family members, even writing at one point: “And there is nothing you can do about it as indicated by the fact that I have been posting death threats against politicians for like a week and am still here posting.”

According to a release from the Justice Department, Colasurdo was contacted by law enforcement in March over the posts and claimed he was hacked.

However, the department said despite Colasurdo’s statements that “he was not responsible for the posts, Colasurdo continued to make threatening comments, specifically threats to members of the Jewish community.”

The agency said Colasurdo even wrote in another post that it was time to start “bombing synagogues.”

“As law enforcement continued to track his activity, it became clear he was purchasing various items related to firearms such as a holster, bulletproof vest and ammunition,” the department said.

Officials said Colasurdo made an attempt to purchase a firearm but had been denied. According to an FBI affidavit, Colasurdo also purchased a bulletproof vest and baseball cap, a gun holster and ammunition, among other items, during the period they surveilled him.

Colasurdo has since been charged with two counts of making interstate threats and faces up to five years in prison.
