Andrew McCabe: Attack on Gov. Shapiro’s Home Is ‘Likely an Act of Domestic Terrorism’

EXCERPT:

McCABE: "Under the federal definition, it's pretty clear that this was likely an act of domestic terrorism. There are three parts of the statute that have to be satisfied. It has to be a violent felony committed in the United States. And then the last element, it has to be — the offender has to have had one of three required motivations or intents in committing the crime. It's pretty clear that what Balmer did here would likely fit the third of those intents, which is affecting the course of government through an assassination or the use of a weapon of mass destruction. The IEDs would qualify as a weapon of mass destruction. But, John, to make the final determination, you'd have to have really more evidence about what this guy was thinking, what his motivation was. Maybe you might know that from his pre-arrest statements or potentially some post-arrest statements, but those facts have not been revealed publicly just yet."
