Man Who Sent Assassination Threats To Maine Governor Paul LaPage & Both Senators Arrested With Loaded Gun

Media? Media? No? No interest? None at all?

Authorities also found a gun and an ammunition clip in Michael Thomas' desk drawer when he was arrested Friday, FBI Special Agent Pamela Flick testified; and Thomas told her that if they had showed up later, he would have launched a shootout with police.

Thomas is the perp -- he's the one saying that if the police showed up later, he would have been prepared for a shootout.

LePage received three letters attributed to Thomas, saying among other things that the author was willing to sacrifice his life to shoot the governor. Thomas told agents on Friday that he would follow through on the threats if he had the means, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacey Neumann.

"This is escalating behavior. This is a very dangerous individual," she said. "The defendant has done nothing but instill fear in the victim and in the community."

If it's not The Narrative, it's not a fact.

The wonderful thing is that once one of these left-wing political-pornography addicts shoots someone, the media is actually going to have the gall to ask, "How did this happen? Why wasn't this on our radar?"

Thanks to Stumbo.
