Letter to Mr. Christopher Wray, Director of The Federal Bureau of Investigation - Cortez Masto, Rosen Urge Investigation of Dangerous Statement from Chairman of The Nye County Republican Central Committee

Letter

Dear Director Wray:
We respectfully request that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiate an investigation
into an open letter written by the Chairman of the Nye County Republican Central Committee
and shared on the organization's website.1 We are deeply concerned that this letter may be
inciting violence and insurrection against elected leaders.
As you can see, the letter, published January 8, 2021, denies basic facts about the 2020 election
and falsely claims that President Trump -- not President-elect Biden -- will be inaugurated on
January 20th
. The letter goes on to claim without evidence that there is a plot involving Vice
President Mike Pence to overthrow President Trump, and refers readers to Lin Wood's posts on
Parler, where Mr. Wood recently called for Vice President Pence's execution.2 The letter
describes being in a "battle for our republic" and ends by saying that "It's 1776 all over again!"
In light of the events of January 6, 2021 that have resulted in the death of six people, including
two U.S. Capitol Police officers, we are urging that the threats described in this letter be taken
seriously. Please let us know if there is any other assistance we can provide.
Sincerely,
