My favorite part of the whole story is his seeming bewilderment.
The FBI traced the account to Carillo's residence in Winchester. The FBI searched his home on Friday and Carillo told officers that if the search was “about the online stuff. I posted it,” according to the affidavit. He later stated incredulously, “This is all over a comment, huh?”If I were his public defender, I'd try the angle that since he'd posted the content on GETTR, nobody actually saw it. If you mail a threatedning letter in the forest and nobody's around to read it, is anyone really threatened?
