Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether Counterman v. Colorado, decided after the decision below, shows that 18
U.S.C. §1038(a) should be read to require proof that the defendant intended to make
a reasonably believable threat?

Whether a defendant's concession that the evidence suffices to overcome a Jackson v.
Virginia challenge as to a single element of the crime necessarily implies that
procedural error cannot affect substantial rights?
