I wonder how long until one of the insurrectionists is successful? I'm sure there are many more than just this man with a chip on their shoulder, and too much confidence.

Who cares. Both this idiot and the FBI are actively supporting Trump, so if they decide to kill each other off, that's a boon to the rest of the nation.
It's fairly short-sighted of you to think the FBI is the only target these people have in mind.
Then your question has already been answered, because they were already successful.
Too much confidence in what sense? Seriously, what happens when we see someone kill someone in a really pro-Trump way and spew pro-Trump bullshit at every opportunity. Might they get pardoned?
Confidence in their ability to get away with it. They've been pardoned once, why not again?
You're right to ask the question, it's an unsettling thought that something like that is actually plausible.
We're thinking similarly :). The Minnesota shootings is probably the test case at the moment (https://www.npr.org/2025/06/16/nx-s1-5433748/minnesota-shooting-suspect-vance-boelter-arrested-melissa-hortman-john-hoffman). No terrorism charges laid AFAIK despite targeting multiple legislators. How crazy far will the impunity (and increased criminal brazenness as a result) of sycophants go and how quickly?
