Palm Beach County Sheriffs arrested someone who was in touch with Rupnow for years. Seems likely that this was the "boyfriend" who provided a journalist with Rupnow's manifesto.
The two were so close that police think they had a "conspiracy" to commit mass shootings.
This is a wild one
🧵
Allen purportedly came onto the FBI's radar after Rupnow's shooting, when agents found her phone. Agents found videos of Allen posing as a police officer. Allen was apparently so convincing that the FBI thought he really WAS a cop!
Allen had all the authentic gear, including an apparent police laptop. Law enforcement still doesn't know how he got their authentic uniform.
According to local reports, Allen also had "an FBI uniform, an Army Ranger outfit, Marine Corps dress blues, a ballistic vest, helmets, and fake federal and military ID badges."
Police found a veritable arsenal at Allen's home.
"Inside Allen’s home, deputies say they found 18 firearms, including what appeared to be automatic weapons, more than 300 pounds of ammunition, and full PBSO deputy uniforms. Also recovered: a taser, a two-way radio, and a fake body camera made with a 3D printer."
I nearly forgot! It's time for my Top 10 stories of the year --- and what a year!
I've been working almost solely on the Trump shooting in the second half of 2024, but nothing tops my interview with former FBI informant David Gletty, who talked about infiltrating right-wing groups for the FBI
2. Gletty was also part of a larger FBI op in the mid-2000s, which I've dubbed Robert Mueller's right-wing terror factory. headlineusa.com/exclusive-the-…
BREAKING: The DOJ-IG has found that the FBI systematically mishandled TROVES of classified information.
Pictured below is an FBI storage facility. The camera above the door doesn't work, and the doors were kept open at all hours -- allowing non-authorized personnel access to potentially Secret info.

Trump shooter Matthew Crooks reportedly had an account on the popular gamer chat app, Discord.
HERE'S WHY THAT MATTERS!
🧵
As referenced in the above image, the FBI has been ramping up its efforts to infiltrate gamer chatrooms.
According to a GAO report from February, last year "the FBI worked to increase engagement with gaming and gaming-adjacent companies"
And it's not just the FBI! Private intelligence contractors are also ramping up their efforts to target gamers.
This is from last year, shortly after the Discord Leaks were made public:
1. A DOJ-IG report revealed last week that the FBI's memo was inspired by an investigation into a 'fascist' Catholic that the feds had been monitoring since 2019.
The FBI infiltrated a church w/ at least one informant as part of that investigation, according to the IG
2. Now look at the FBI's controversial Catholic memo.
The churches listed include Our Lady of Fatima Chapel in Richmond.
3. And look here: The FBI was monitoring a defendant named Xavier Lopez, who attended Fatima
Interesting that the doc shows footage of the NSM while discussing O9A. I'm not aware of any explicit NSM-O9A link, but NSM was co-founded by an FBI informant and the husband of an avowed, LaVey-style Satanist.
🧵
Bill White, the main source of my Fed Files series, said he left the NSM due to Satanic infiltration, making startling allegations. When I asked NSM co-founder Cliff Herrington (who must be in his 80s by now) about this, he surprisingly confirmed his wife’s Satanic connections

In light of today's monumental ruling that exonerates three Whitmer kidnap defendants, let's look at the key points of the case.
The Null brothers and Eric Molitor had quite an uphill battle, starting with the AG's office spreading lies about them during pretrial proceedings.
🧵
1. A judge presiding over the case bungled basic facts by issuing a ruling that declared @brandon_caserta and Daniel Harris as kidnap conspirators -- despite the fact that they were found innocent last year.
@brandon_caserta Along with lying that the defendants were members of the "Wolverine Watchmen" militia, prosecutor Bill Rollstin repeated a false story about Barry Croft putting a bounty on an FBI informant's head
