An indictment said Santilli suggested "we stand and fight to the absolute death" to get the federal government out of Nevada, telling listeners on April 8, 2014, "If you're in Nevada and can legally carry, get weapons out there, OK?"
The next day, the indictment says, Santilli traveled to Nevada and threatened an FBI agent while trying to claim self-defense, telling the official, "I don't believe in firing a single bullet unless in absolute defense and it's legal and constitutional."
Santilli later told the official, "If you make the decision to go face-to-face and someone gets hurt we are going to hold you responsible," the indictment says. "I came here to allow you to prevent a scenario where someone gets hurt."
The indictment accuses Santilli of being part of a group that intercepted a Bureau of Land Management convoy and threatened law enforcement officers at the scene, later boasting on-air, "We were serious about stopping the convoy.... We want BLM to always retreat because we will always outnumber them."
