I do not have much sympathy for guys like this one, but I doubt that he would have gotten as far along in this plot without the FBI's undercover help.

If we could start deplatforming extremist rhetoric online that would be a huge boon against these types of things.

If you want to do something bad and someone offers help it's probably an FBI sting.

There's a specific statute against "Attempting to Use a Weapon of Mass Destruction and to Destroy an Energy Facility?" -That seems oddly-specific.
