United States v. Cole
(J6 Pipe Bomber case)

Cole Jr. is currently in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

Yesterday, his counsel filed for permission from the court for two "in-person mental health evaluations" to be conducted today and tomorrow. Image
The magistrate judge granted the motion. One doctor will visit him today and another tomorrow. Image
I'm not 100% positive on this, but I think this may be the Dr. Clifford Sussman from the filing.

He is a child/adolescent psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a focus on "recognizing and treating internet and video game addiction."

I'm not 100% positive on this, but I think this may be the Dr. David Black from the filing.

He is a pediatric neuropsychologist and an expert in autism spectrum and related disorders.

Cole Jr.'s grandmother reportedly described him as “almost autistic-like, because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff,” and he was actively commenting on and making Bronie content before 2020. Image
According to the NYPost, his online activity began to decrease around the time he began making purchases related to the pipe bombs.

Or, he changed online names, accounts, etc. Image
Visits by mental health professionals line up with comments from family about Cole Jr as well as some descriptions I've seen from people who said they knew him.

He's likely on the spectrum, had some bad influences, or had a lack of good ones, or both, and went down a bad road. Image
"'He doesn’t have a girlfriend,’ she added. 'That’s how slow he is...."

Ouch, Granny. Image
I missed this detail when the story first broke.

Parents divorcing wrecks kids and adults. Image
According to the affidavit, Cole Jr. made several key purchases in September and October 2020 for wire. Image
And more key purchases after his father lost a case before the DC Court of Appeals.

He also made visits to D.C. in December 2020. Image
So, the divorce and then his father losing that case the next month—things are tumultuous for this guy who, according to family and others, was reclusive, possibly on the spectrum, had been active in obscure niche online communities, and lived with his family but was 30...
Now visits by mental health professionals to the jail. If the guys I looked up are the ones in the filing, they match what we would expect to see based on grandma's comments.
We'll learn more later, but the profile of the guy is starting to be painted in here.
His next hearing is set for Dec 30th. Image

🧵UNSEALED: New indictment against Zubayr al-Bakoush for his role in the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Charges include conspiracy, terrorism, attempted murder, murder, and arson.

1/n Image
Al-Bakoush is the third person to be apprehended and charged in connection to the Benghazi attack.

The other two are Ahmed Salim Faraj Abu Khatallah and Mustafa Muhammad Muftah al-Imam.

2/n
Abu Khattala was indicted in August of 2013 and captured by Delta Force in June 2014.

He was convicted in 2017, sentenced in 2018, but the sentence was later overturned due to it being WAY too low—just 22 years.

He was resentenced to 28 years and is now in the CO Supermax.

🧵There have been a few interesting developments recently in the case of DOW Contractor Perez-Lugones, who stole classified intel, and WaPo's Hannah Natanson who published excerpts of that intel.

I'm going to detail them in this thread and in a new video.

AG Pam Bondi has empowered the US Attorney for Eastern Missouri, Thomas Albus, as a Special Prosecutor for DOJ under 28 USC 515 and directed him to conduct voter fraud probes in all 94 US Districts.

His first overt move was to convince a magistrate judge in Fulton County to authorize a search warrant for their 2020 election records. The FBI executed that search warrant last week under the supervision of FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey and DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Why would the DNI be there? Well, according to the WSJ, she's been given a task: investigate foreign interference in recent elections—including 2020.

This means that components of both the DOJ and the ODNI are working on election fraud and foreign interference inquiries right now. Interesting!

He can "coordinate civil and criminal cases, including grand jury proceedings, in all 94 US attorney districts."

Indycar teams, services, safety crews, Marshall’s, transport teams, mechanics, parts suppliers, etc etc etc… all the thousands of people who are required in order to make an Indycar race safely and professionally take place made their plans for 2026 a year ago. Such an upheaval of those plans and a scramble to cram in a race to a calendar that was set many months ago is going to a) piss people off, b) give people severe headaches, c) increase expenditures, and d) set up the race for embarrassment and disarray.

And that’s before we even consider the track, driver and spectator safety, tv coverage plans, radio and timing setup up, the pit setup, hospitality, bathrooms, get approvals from the governing bodies and utilities, etc etc etc.
Indycar doing a race on the east coast, in or near DC?

That’s a fantastic idea!

Forcing a race to happen with only like seven months to plan it all out, get the budgets for it, build the paddock and track, account for all the safety concerns, etc etc.

Ludicrous.
