Even if they could, I don’t know why you would jump to that idea when the guy fucking shot 800 people. He clearly wasn’t right in the head. He also had a history of heavy gambling and drinking. I don’t smell conspiracy on this one. This was just a mentally unwell guy who made a decision to murder; it is, unfortunately, a quintessential American story that keeps repeating.

Can’t the feds just throw some shit on your computer and pin you for it?

No. Not because it’s impossible. But, mainly because it’s only after it goes past court that you’re actually ‘pinned’. So you’re going to have to be certain that will happen, otherwise the political fall out isn’t worth it.
Also let me remind you that the guy shot at a crowd so he was already applying for ending his life in prison. There is no need to turn it into some wicked conspiracy where the feds needed to pin him…
