'I sincerely believe that if you work for the FBI, then you deserve to DIE,' the man wrote in one post.
Bies also railed against the CEO of Gab after apparently receiving a warning about his posts, according to court documents, and against FBI Director Christopher Wray, who has denounced threats against agents.
"Hey a**hole. Why don't you send them my threats so that they'd at least have something credible to show on Fox News," Bies allegedly wrote, adding that other posts highlighted in a local Fox article targeting the FBI were "nowhere near 'threats.'" Bies has been charged with influencing, impeding or retaliating against federal law enforcement officers, according to court documents. He has not yet entered a plea, and there is no indication in court records that Bies acted on the threats.SEE MORE: Suspect in attempted break-in at FBI Cincinnati office dead after hours-long standoff, police say
The FBI is investigating an "unprecedented" number of threats against bureau personnel in the aftermath of the search at Mar-a-Lago, a law enforcement source told CNN last week. The bureau, along with the Department of Homeland Security, issued a joint intelligence bulletin warning of "violent threats" against federal law enforcement, courts and government personnel and facilities.
In a separate incident last week, a Columbus man suspected of trying to breach the FBI's Cincinnati field office armed with an AR-15 and a nail gun was killed after a vehicle chase and hours-long standoff with law enforcement. A social media account bearing the man's name called also for violence against the FBI in the aftermath of the search.
