A confidential human source (CHS) first tipped off the FBI in 2023 when they witnessed Spafford firing at a target of President Biden with an unregistered short barrel rifle and discussing how we need more political assassinations and that the government was kidnapping children and training them to be school shooters. The CHS kept in contact with Spafford through 2024 and received memes, etc endorsing violence that the CHS also provided to the FBI.
This culminated in October 2024 when the CHS visited Spafford's newly purchased farm while wearing a wire. The CHS was able to get Spafford to state he had the SBR and would not register it, that he had HMTD, ETN (a secondary explosive), and that he was going to fortify his property with a 50 caliber turret mounted gun.
