Former Coast Guard Officer Arrested for Allegedly Making Numerous Trump Assassination Threats
Share this @internewscast.com

Peter Stinson, a resident of Virginia and former Coast Guard Lieutenant from 1988 to 2021, who earned accolades for his sharpshooting abilities, has been named in an FBI criminal complaint for allegedly making a series of violent online threats against Trump, according to a report by ABC News.

Prosecutors have highlighted that Stinson, who concurrently worked as a FEMA instructor and identified as an ANTIFA member, utilized his X and Bluesky accounts to articulate his threats against Trump from 2020 onward, including allegations about his intention to “pull the trigger” to eliminate 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.
