Maryland Man Tweeted He Would Blow Up IRS, Kill Pelosi: Feds

“I am simply announcing my intentions to give employees a fair shot at escaping alive,” he allegedly wrote.

A Maryland man tweeting as @BonaFried threatened to detonate a bomb at the IRS and kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), federal authorities said Thursday. Cody Wolf Gideon Mohr, a 27-year-old in Columbia, Maryland, is charged with making internet threats to destroy a building by use of explosives and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Mohr allegedly tweeted Friday, “I am going to explode the IRS headquarters with a bomb” and later “I am simply announcing my intentions to give employees a fair shot at escaping alive.” A criminal complaint says he described himself as “laser focused on thinking about ways to kill Nancy Pelosi.”
