  1. News snippet: A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend.

    Authorities with the FBI and in Michigan have offered few details about the case, however as he announced the arrests on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel said more information would be released. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday.

    The investigation involved discussion in an online chat room involving at least some of the suspects who were taken into custody, according to two people briefed on the investigation who could not publicly discuss details. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The group allegedly discussed carrying out an attack around Halloween, referring to “pumpkin day,” according to one of the people. The other person briefed on the investigation confirmed that there had been a “pumpkin” reference.

  2. This is what happens when you put drug addict podcasters put in charge of national law enforcement agencies.

  3. This accusation gives off “War on Christmas” vibes.

  4. It’s certainly possible people in a chat group talked about Halloween and about scaring people at that time. What is the evidence it was an actual terrorist plot? What were they planning to do?

  5. News Flash! The (not-so) Great Pumpkin and terrorist-in-chief has been found, residing in the White House.

  6. GOP lying disease infects any and everyone who worships and adores them

  9. They want a Reichstag fire, Marco Polo bridge incident, Gleiwitz incident, and other false flag shit that guys like Alex Jones would bloviate and salivate over for a pretext or excuse to do horrible shit.

  10. I have to say, I was pretty surprised to see ISIS show up in the news again. They must be running out of ideas

  11. The regime counts arrests which means nothing.

    For the time being, count convictions but that ground feels shakier and shakier.

  12. I called it yesterday when half of the comments were “how could you not care about the people of Michigan?!”

    Oh I care about people everywhere. Kash Patel is a fucking lying joke though.

  14. It used to be that if the FBI raided a house, it was because they had a solid case. That started slipping after 9/11 when the FBI started getting into the business of trapping idiots instead of investigating crimes. While the Tsarnaev brothers were working on an actual plot to attack Boston (one that Russia alerted the US to and the feds dismissed), the FBI was busy helping and idiot build a bomb with plans provided by the feds, materials provided by the feds and targets scouted with the assistance of the feds.

    Now, under Trump, I don’t believe a single thing that comes out from them. Eventually we will have a “boy who cried wolf” scenario where the feds actually did stop an actual threat, but nobody will believe it. If Kash’s lips are moving, I assume it is lie until actual proof is presented. This is what undermining trust in the government looks like.

  17. Alternative headline: defense lawyer defends client

  18. The all-male group of U.S. citizens ranges in age from 16-20, Makled said.
    The FBI seized the following items from the terrorists: rolls of toilet paper, bars of soap, blocks of wax, several paper bags containing dog excrement, and a box of Sea-Dog safety matches. FBI Director Kash Patel estimates that the actions of the FBI saved the lives of thousands of American citizens. Patel stated: “They had way more bars of soap than you would need for washing your hands.”

  22. I can literally go to those kids houses in 10 from where I am. I know exactly where all this shit happend. Those kids weren’t gonna do shit. Just some way for the admins to get there fucking fingers on Michigan. They already got Illinois and NY. Might as well go in between and take Michigan too.

  23. I absolutely disagree! Just last night, I saw witches, a spiderman (I am 72% sure it wasn’t the real one), some little one pretending to be ‘royalty’!… all of these ‘monsters’ went door-to-door, demanding! treats. How is that not terrorism!? I was in fear for my very life!

    /s

  24. If you can’t find bad guys just start making shit up.

  25. I fucking sniffed that shit out immediately and my parents lost their cookies when I said it smelled like bs
