This is Juan Thompson. He was previously fired from left leaning publication “The Intercept” after making up sources for stories he wrote. Guess it wasn’t the ‘rise of Trump’ that media blamed…

The FBI arrested a 31-year-old Missouri man Friday and charged him in connection with a wave of threats against Jewish community centers as part of a bizarre cyberstalking scheme to retaliate against a former girlfriend, federal prosecutors allege.
Juan Thompson, who was picked up in St. Louis, is accused of making bomb threats against Jewish institutions in New York, including the Anti-Defamation League, and across the country, in the name of a woman described in court documents as a “former romantic interest.”
“Thompson’s alleged pattern of harassment not only involved the defamation of his female victim, but his threats intimidated an entire community,” FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney Jr., said Friday. The cyberstalking charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

The federal authorities have charged a St. Louis man with making more than half a dozen bomb threats against Jewish community centers, schools and a Jewish history museum, an unsealed court document shows.
Juan Thompson, 31, was arrested in St. Louis, Missouri. He is accused of making at least eight of the threats against JCCs.
Juan Thompson, made some of the threats in his own name and others in the name of a former girlfriend, apparently in an attempt to intimidate her, according to a federal complaint filed by the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan and unsealed on Friday.
He also claimed in a tweet that he was “reverting to Islam”.
I just returned from Senegal after weeks in that beautiful country. Plus I’m correction: *reverting* to Islam. 2016 has been a crazy year.

In another tweet Thompson calls 42% of Americans “filthy fascist appeasers, and says they should be “taken out along with (President) Trump”.
