Citing #COVID19 concerns, recent Supreme Court case, Virginia Federal Judge orders release of Islamic scholar serving life sentence for soliciting treason after 9/11 while his appeal is heard. Based on a decade of reporting, Ali al-Timimi’s case has always about the Fall 2002..
+ how a handful of FBI agents let Anwar al-Awlaki, who would go on to become an al Qaeda leader in Yemen (Fort Hood, underwear bomb) + first American targeted for death by CIA, slip through the net after he was held in federal custody. AP: @JonathanTurley “has argued that
prosecutors failed to turn over evidence that would have pointed to Al-Timimi's innocence. In particular, he has alleged that the government used a northern Virginia cleric al-Awlaki as an informant, and that al-Awlaki tried unsuccessfully to lure Al-Timimi into illegal conduct..
