In one of two locations searched yesterday, on East 35th Street, lives Spencer Meads, a longtime Project Veritas operative. A neighbor told the NYT they were woken up Thursday morning by FBI agents pounding on his door shouting, "Open up!" “Spencer, open up!” “FBI!”
The other location the FBI searched yesterday, according to the NYT, was in Mamaroneck, N.Y., where Project Veritas has an office. lohud.com/story/news/loc…
Noted a couple days ago that a relative in the midwest (with no connection to any political activism or right wing political causes) reported receiving a fundraising mailer from Project Veritas Legal Defense Fund. Seems the group must have bought access to a big GOP mail list?
Also noted this the other day, Trump Russian project partner Felix Sater promoting his association with the head of Project Veritas

US envoy Jeff Feltman, on Sudan call, characterized Sudanese generals he met with ahead of Oct. 25 coup to discuss their concerns with transition and possible mechanisms to address them as speaking to US officials in bad faith.
He commended members of Sudanese security forces who exercised restraint during demos over weekend, & observed Sudanese demonstrators by and large stayed away from military installations, reducing friction. Said US admires the courage of Sudanese people in demanding their voices
be heard and helping their country make strides to a new sudan. "To those freedom loving Sudanese, I say the world is watching." US will not accept the military sideline their hard-fought democratic transition, and we stand with the people of Sudan, Feltman said.

🧵Snr State Dept official, asked about role of Egypt, KSA & UAE on Sudan, said US envoy, State & WH have engaged reps of all those govts. implies there may not be consensus between US & those countries that release of PM Hamdok and his wife to virtual house arrest is not enough.
SSDO: important that the PM was released, but it is not sufficient.. So we continue to engage them on the fact that it's not enough that you would have PM Hamdok back home. …The Sudanese people are not going to stand by idly & watch the military basically obliterate
the civilian institutions of the state, or replace the state institutions with sort of Quisling-type appointments. Because these 3 countries…are very concerned with Sudan stability, & we simply do not see that a continuation of the type of military rule that Gen. Burhan
