I spoke this morning with the individual believed to be “Person of Interest 3” (POI3) in the FBI’s original pipe bomb investigation related to January 6.

I will not name this individual to protect his privacy since he just found out today (by me) that he had been under FBI surveillance for allowing another individual–“Person of Interest 2” (POI2)--to use his Metro card to travel to Washington DC for Stop the Steal events on Jan 5 and Jan 6.

POI2, according to a Congressional report published last year, was seen on security cameras on the morning of Jan 5 “photographing a dumpster next to the location where the RNC pipe bomb would later be planted.” In the days after Jan 6, the FBI considered “POI2’s movements to be ‘highly suspicious’ and considered POI2 as a ‘possible accomplice’ to the pipe bomber.”

Both POI2 and POI3 were placed under physical surveillance by the FBI’s Washington Field Office.

POI2 told investigators in an interview on Jan 19. 2021 that he had "traveled to Washington, D.C. to attend First Amendment activities on Capitol Hill on January 5 and that throughout the day, POI2 photographed 'objects bearing numerals' including doors, dumpsters, and other objects and intended to use these photographs in a book he was writing."

Both men were ruled out as suspects by late Jan 2021.

POI3 is a 66-year-old man currently employed by the Air Force. Here is what he told me today about the use of his Metro card by his friend (POI2) who he has known for more than 55 years.

“I have a friend who came up for the January 6 Stop the Steal protest, he lives out of state. I’ve known him since 1969, we went to elementary and high school together. He’s from my understanding not affiliated with anything illegal or immoral. He is kind of like an evangelist, a religious educator [who] goes all around the world preaching the gospel but he’s very Republican, very pro-Trump person.

He is probably 67 [years-old] now. He was probably 63 on January 6.

He came up a day before or a couple days before the January 6 date and I took him to the Metro. He stayed at my house. I took him to the Metro and I let him borrow my Metro card. I have an extra Metro card, I have one that I use to ride the Metro every day and one that I keep [as] my personal thing.

This was during the pandemic so I was working from home the entire time. So he went downtown the day prior to January 6 and he was downtown on January 6. I know he was doing some type of journaling for this event. I know he posted some stuff on Facebook. He was keeping a log telling everybody about all the events and activities that took place.

And then I think on the 7th of January, I took him back to Dulles to catch his flight. He came up again for the inauguration [this year] and I let him stay at my house again.

Now that relates to my friend who I’ve known since elementary school who I grew up with.

I lived next door to this individual who supposedly is identified as the pipe bomber from everything that I’ve heard. I’ve lived in this house [in Falls Church, Virginia] since 2003. So in 2021, they had moved in the year before, her and a gentleman. I knew them purely in passing exchanges, pleasantries on the street. I never went into their house so I don’t have any idea of their political leanings in any way, shape, or form.

I’ve been contacted and I did look into the paper and when a picture of this supposed person came up, I said, yes that looks like her.

All I can say is there’s two people involved in this that I know--my friend who I went to elementary school and high school together who asked for a favor to let him stay at my house during the January 6 rally.

As it relates to this lady, this policeman, other than her living next door to me, I have no involvement with her in any way shape or form. It was my understanding they worked for the Metropolitan Police Department, that’s all I know and they were not here that long.

They just lived next door to me.”

I will have much more to say on this shortly.
The allegations in The Blaze, the deceptive (and inconsistent) framing by Seraphin and his acolytes--which I will get to soon including his suggestion POI2 was the alleged pipe bomber's boyfriend lol--and this so-called "whistleblower" report promoted by Tom Massie all rely on the notion that the FBI pulled surveillance of these two men to cover up for the "pipe bomber" neighbor.

But as this man told me today, the true account of what happened is very straightforward. And I can tell you after speaking with him, he is extremely sincere, talked very plainly about what happened over those few days, and had no idea he (or his friend) had been a subject of the initial pipe bomb investigation.

That is why surveillance of both men ended--not some batsh*t conspiracy theory promoted by the likes of The Blaze and the "Suspendables" that somehow the FBI KNEW the neighbor was the pipe bomber and pulled the agents off the case.

On his radio show today, Glenn Beck appears to walk back The Blaze’s audacious outing of the alleged J5/6 pipe bomber.

He refused to mention the individual’s name on air and said “a match is not guilt, comparison is not proof.”

There’s more…
After recklessly putting this individual’s name out in the public last week and endangering her safety, Beck now insists that she must be protected and claims she was low man on the totem pole in any inside operation. Not what was being said last week when story was pitched:
“If the story is true.”

Now I’ve been told for days that no one can raise questions about the veracity of the piece or express doubt over the identification of this individual.

🤷🏼‍♀️

(Btw this individual works campus security for CIA. She’s not exactly a top tier official.)

Here’s the nondisclosure order signed by Jeb Boasberg in May 2023 prohibiting Verizon from notifying several US senators and one House member that Jack Smith had subpoenaed their phone records. Verizon complied with the subpoenas and NDOs with the exception of Ted Cruz.

Important to note what Boasberg claims here. In order to authorize an NDO in a tech related subpoena, a judge must determine one of five factors according to Stored Communications Act.

What Boasberg alleged is that sitting Republican lawmakers might break the law if notified of the subpoenas.

He is a lunatic and must be removed from the bench. This is the CHIEF JUDGE of the DC district court.Image

Jim Comey just added Michael Dreeben to his criminal defense team.

Dreeben most recently represented Jack Smith in the SCOTUS immunity case. (Safe to say Dreeben lost.)

But Dreeben's dirty hands are all over Robert Mueller's investigation, too. He is clearly conflicted 🧵
Dreeben played a key role not just on Team Mueller but he also is directly tied to Comey's involvement in developing the obstruction case against the president--recall Comey admitted the reason he leaked the content of his secret Flynn memo was to prompt the appointment of a special counsel, which happened the day after the NYT leak...
x.com/JohnWHuber/sta…
In 2023, Dreeben bragged about his lead role in the Mueller witch hunt; the "speed" at which the investigation proceeded; and how he was responsible for overseeing the production of Vol II of Mueller report, which addressed potential obstruction charges against the president.

If I were the DOJ, this guy would be toward the top of a government witness list. So how can he represent Comey when he likely will be questioned as part of the obstruction/false statements case against him?

So in 48 hours, Judge Karin Immergut (Trump) determined the president acted unconstitutionally in federalizing and deploying Natl Guard troops to protest Portland ICE facility; claimed the move violated Oregon's 10th Amend rights; and concluded there was no "rebellion" taking place to justify the president's order.

If you read carefully how Immergut described illegal immigrants, you might pick up a slight bias...as well as her claims of "mostly peaceful" protests:Image
The way federal judges so casually downplay examples of criminal behavior represents another part of the escalating crisis in the judicial branch. Even if you take the word of local law enforcement--Immergut's pooh-poohing of sustained violence to any degree is stunning: Image
Immergut--relying heavily on determinations made by Judge Charles Breyer in a similar lawsuit in California--decides on her own that no "rebellion" is underway.

I mean, surely Immergut is aware of attacks on ICE agents and facilities in other cities including Los Angeles and Chicago...right?

Her arrogance here reminds me of the words of Judge Andrew Oldham of the 5th Circuit in his dissent in an Alien Enemies Act opinion. Oldham repeatedly warned of judicial overreach in matters exclusive to the executive branch:

Oldham: "It transmogrifies the least-dangerous branch into robed crusaders who get to playact as multitudinous Commanders in Chief."

It's hard to know where to start--or end-- in covering the batsh*t meltdown last week by DC Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui. (I made the full transcript available to my paid subscribers on Substack)

Faruqui was presiding over a hearing in the case of Edward Dana, a career criminal with 9 prior convictions and 23 arrests who was on probation and arrested by DC police for vandalizing property in a drunken rage on August 17.

During his arrest, Dana said he wanted to kill the president (among other crazy statements.) DC US attorney Jeanine Pirro sought to indict Dana on a federal felony of making threats to the president.

But once again--in a rarity now commonplace in DC--a grand jury made up of DC voters (93% for Kamala in 2024) refused to indict him. So prosecutors had to drop the charge.

This enraged Faruqui, who not only misrepresented Dana's case (making him a victim rather than the longtime perp he is) and he berated the prosecutor for about 20 minutes or so.

But Faruqui's tirade had less to do with Dana and more to do with President Trump. Time and again, Faruqui--who was appointed in 2020 but not confirmed by the Senate--blasted the president's policies related to using federal law enforcement agencies and the National Guard in DC and warnings to do the same in other cities to combat crime.

Faruqui:

"How do we reestablish faith in people in DC that they're not going to be wrongly arrested, when the hobby, or whatever, the interest of the moment, if we move to Chicago or whatever city, Baltimore, or whatever next thing it is that catches the administration's interest, what are we, the people left here in Washington, DC, who have actually lived here, had to suffer through whatever is happening, how am I supposed to reestablish confidence in every defense lawyer and defendant that they are being treated fairly and rightly?"

Have to "suffer," the judge says.
As I have noted repeatedly, Faruqui signed hundreds of arrest warrants for J6ers including the unlawful 1512c2 felony. In one case, Faruqui found a woman in criminal contempt after she refused to answer his questions and willingly submit to conditions of release on her nonviolent misdemeanors charges.

He raised no such objections (to my knowledge) about the treatment of J6ers or berated Biden's DOJ for bringing near-daily cases to the DC courthouse.

Faruqui:

"I'm absolutely just beyond words as to what is happening and that we are just acting like this is normal. This is not only abnormal, it is now we are at past the question of constitutional crisis and academic thinking.

This is not hypothetical. What is being done? It is implausible, illegal, immoral for one person in our country to be treated like this, and now we are getting into double digits. What is being done?"

Faruqui misrepresents why these cases are being dismissed--he refuses to aknowledge the partisan bias at work by DC grand juries who are protesting the Trump administration by refusing to bring criminal indictments sought by Trump's DOJ. (I believe there are six such known cases as of now.)

Faruqui: "There seems to be just a complete disregard for the impact this is having on the people who are getting arrested and then released or dismissed. They are our fellow citizens.

This is not how we treat criminals, we don't treat them that way. We certainly do not treat presumed innocent people this way, let alone people who are our fellow Americans."

Keep in mind--Dana has a rap sheet a mile long:

Faruqui: "There seems to be a complete disregard for the traumatic effect that's having not just on the city, its citizens, the court, the AUSAs who are working all night and day to satisfy some sort of, you know, whatever this fantasy is or idea that there's going to be some great showing.

There are consequences. And right now, Mr. Dana is suffering those consequences."
Faruqui lauds the idea of a "deep state" of career prosecutors internally protesting the president's approach and the authority of AG Pam Bondi.

This is truly WILD:

"So if the United States Attorney [Pirro] wants to take this as a new tactic to just arrest people and detain them, she will find the court will hold a line." (Dana was not held by the feds but by local DC police. The prosecutor tried to raise that important fact with Faruqui but he did not care.)

"And I know that the U.S. Attorney's Office is full of U.S. attorneys who are continuing to hold the line and fight to hold the line. And I give great credit to the courage of the AUSAs who stay there, because the court can't do it on its own. We need dedicated -- what other people call the deep state, I would call that principled AUSAs, principled Department of Justice employees, the ones who didn't get fired for no reason apparently. (No reason--another lie.)

The ones who stay there, I am deeply grateful that you had the courage to come here today, stand in front of me and listen to me be appalled by what is happening in your office. That takes true courage."

Here are some of the declarations filed by the National Immigration Law Center who is suing the Trump adm to prevent sending back home hundreds of unaccompanied minors here illegally from Guatemala:

A 10-year-old here under unknown circumstances.

I want to know who brought her to the US and why.

(And to answer someone's question on 1st post, all were written by Spanish interpreters--as is the case in all of these deportation/removal lawsuits.) Image
Well this seems sketchy as hell...
