I believe you are correct. The person who delivered this threat is a grandson of William Colby (ex-CIA director, ex-OSS, arch-Catholic).

Elbridge Colby is also Catholic, and some of his religious beliefs factor into his policy preferences. Groton, Harvard BA, Yale Law, hard-to-get service medals.

I’m not saying I like the guy, but his knowledge and background should not be underestimated as some nearby are doing.
