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.
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.
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.
"'He doesn’t have a girlfriend,’ she added. 'That’s how slow he is...."
Ouch, Granny.
I missed this detail when the story first broke.
Parents divorcing wrecks kids and adults.
According to the affidavit, Cole Jr. made several key purchases in September and October 2020 for wire.
And more key purchases after his father lost a case before the DC Court of Appeals.
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.
🧵Former Special Counsel Jack Smith wants video of his 8-hour deposition released and continues to ask for the opportunity to testify in a public hearing.
This has been Smith's repeated request since October.
The reason it wasn't public is because House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan declined to make it so.
Though he didn't rule out a future public hearing.
It would be great to get the video of the 8-hour closed-door session released and also have a public hearing.
Both sides will use it for political gain and reinforcement of their preferred narratives, so it will be annoying in that way but could also be useful...
They argue Richman's "is improper multiple times over," and "[his] Rule 41(g) motion is not a valid or meritorious motion for return of property, but instead a transparent effort to suppress evidence in the Comey matter."
"Richman does not genuinely want any property back—after all, the government merely has copies of his data."
🧵Just days after United States v. Comey was dismissed for Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan being unlawfully appointed, Daniel Richman, who is Person 3 from the indictment in the Comey case, filed a civil case against the DOJ.
Richman wants the property seized pursuant to the four Arctic Haze search warrants that were executed on him years ago returned and/or deleted and the government to be restricted from using any of it.
The materials gathered during that investigation became the source of much of the evidence in the now dismissed Comey case, and if prosecutors are going to refile that case, they will need these materials.
🧵 When a group of about 15 Antifa members attacked the Prairieland ICE Detention facility in North Texas on July 4th, vandalizing vehicles and structures and shooting a police officer, they invited a federal response that has now escalated into a landmark case.
*For the first time, Antifa was defined in a court filing.
*For the first time, charges of terrorism were leveled at Antifa members.
