WASHINGTON ¨C Shortly after rampaging supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, a fan of the president posted a message on the pro-Trump website TheDonald.win. Inspired by the mob¡¯s attempt to stop lawmakers from confirming President-elect Joe Biden¡¯s electoral win, user CONN_WYNN said in an all-caps message, replete with an expletive, that it was ¡°TIME TO LEAVE THE KEYBOARD¡± and ¡°FIGHT FOR MY ... COUNTRY.¡±
Two days later, agents from the FBI¡¯s San Francisco field office came calling, according to another post by CONN_WYNN on the same website.
¡°PRO TIP: Think before you post. They are watching. I learned the hard way,¡± the user wrote on Sunday, alongside a photograph of a business card from the agents.
