I don't see any of them claiming Cantwell didn't make the threats. Cantwell's fellow libertarian exceptional individual Jared Howe is claiming that Cantwell wasn't serious about the threats, and that he will definately be released any day now. "The nature of the internet is the nature of the internet and people like to run their fucking mouths". He's also continuing to complain about the 'defacement' of Cantwell's website with 'threats' to FBI agents, and claiming that Cantwell was really clever to go to the FBI about it and that he could have gone back to prison if he hadn't. The 'defacement' looked like this:

In Howe's mind, gay jokes are 'threats' to FBI agents, but threatening to rape someone's wife as part of an extortion attempt is not.
Howe has released a couple podcasts since featuring Cantwell complaining about how he is persecuted so and being briefly locked up with illegal Mexicans.
Relevant clips from those below:

Howe: "He's got access to written articles from Fox News now. If you can't watch Tucker Carlson that's the next best thing. You get to read articles about Tucker Carlson."

Howe: "Anybody who's covering this situation just to say 'This is why you never talk to the FBI'... they can't be trusted"
Anthony Ellis, meanwhile, has been banned from Twitter (presumably for making threats again).

Just a note, if you look at the post several pages up, the prison in question does not allow postal mail (they had incidents with inmates dying because letters were sent in blotted with drugs).
Electronic mail only is allowed, and one needs to register on the service provider's site to send it and pay to do so. I am not aware if said service provider allows you to use mobile app burner numbers* to register or whether it will take prepaid cards for payment. Maybe they do, maybe they don't.
Anyone who is considering trolling him should probably consider that he is a federal informant who thanks to his complete lack of self-control while high on meth is in a well-run prison that is probably keeping a close eye on him. Maybe not the best idea.
* it should be noted that all those apps that let you get an extra fake number on your phone are going to collect information like the IMEI of your phone, so it isn't safe to use these on a regular phone tied to you
