United States v. Saab
(Maduro's liaison to Iran)

When arguing against the Terrorism Enhancement being applied at your sentencing, it's probably best practice that you DO NOT include any letters from a member of Hizballah, even if he is your brother.

Alex Saab will be resentenced on July 10, 2026.Image
I wrote about Saab, his crimes, and his extraordinary arrest years ago.

open.substack.com/pub/justhuman/…
Saab was facing about 20 years in prison, but in 2023 the Biden Admin swapped him back to Venezuela in exchange for 10 American hostages plus "Fat Leonard," a corrupt defense contractor at the center of a Pentagon bribery scandal.

apnews.com/article/venezu…
A joint U.S.-Venezuelan operation led to the recapture of Saab in February 2026 and extradition to the U.S. in May.

reuters.com/world/americas…
May 2022 - Saab is tried and convicted.
May 2023 - Saab is sentenced to 14 years in prison.
May 2023 - Saab appeals sentencing.
Dec 2023 - Saab is swapped to Venezeula.

Jan 2026 - U.S. Operation Absolute Resolve captures Maduro
Jan 2026 - U.S. Appeals Court AFFIRMS Saab's conviction but VACATES his sentence on Count Four and REMANDS it back to the District Court for resentencing.
Feb 2026 - Saab is apprehended.
May 2026 - Saab comes back to the U.S. to face resentencing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

🧵United States v. Cole
(J5 Pipe Bomber case)

Court of Appeals for D.C. affirms the district court's orders detaining Brian J. Cole Jr. pending trial. Image
Image
Cole was arrested December 5, 2025, on a complaint, temporarily detained, with a detention hearing scheduled for December 15, 2025. Image
That Dec 15 hearing was later moved to Dec 30—at the request of both parties—and the defense consented to the exclusion of time under Speedy Trial. Image

United States v. Allen
(WHCA Dinner Shooter)

Judge McFadden DENIES the defense's motion to disqualify @USAttyPirro and @DAGToddBlanche from the case. Image
Defense had argued that Blanche and Pirro being at the scene of the alleged crime and publicly commenting on it had created a conflict.

The four main arguments were the following:

(1) Their presence at the WHCA Dinner made them witnesses (both reported hearing the gunshots)

(2) Their presence at the WHCA Dinner made them potential victims of Allen (according to the gov't's theory of the case), (both reported that they were in the “line of fire” and had to be evacuated)

(3) Blanche and Pirro's statements to media about the events at the WHCA Dinner were prejudicial and showed bias

(4) Citing the longtime friendship of Trump and Pirro, Trump being the alleged intended victim, and Pirro being the prosecutor, this created an appearance of impropriety.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Judge McFadden addresses argument (1)—Blanche and Pirro were witnesses.

"...whatever firsthand knowledge they have about Allen’s actions appears limited to what anyone in the ballroom would have..."

"...absent special circumstances, an attorney can “elect in which capacity [he] intend[s] to proceed, either as counsel or as a witness.” Because neither side indicates that it plans to call Blanche or Pirro as a witness, the advocate-witness rule poses no concerns."Image

United States v. Sant
(DAMN Antifa/Melt The Ice Case)

15 defendants

- All charged with Conspiracy to Impede or Injure a Federal Officer
- Some additionally charged with Interstate Stalking, Interstate Threats, Solicitation to Commit a Crime of Violence, Assault on a Federal Officer, and/or Destruction of Government PropertyImage
The defendants were previously in or associated with the Twin Cities Direct Action (TCDA) group. That group changed its name to Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN).

DAMN is a conglomerate of Antifa groups, including the Black Cat Worker's Collective (BCWC), Ray Rainbolt Memorial Shooting Club, and others.

All of these groups are "Antifa affinity groups" who mix ideologies of anarchism and communism with ideations, and sometimes actions, of violent resistance and revolution.Image
"DAMN members worked closely with rapid response networks (RRNs) to identify and harass federal immigration and law enforcement officers in order to harass and prevent officers from performing their official duties."

DAMN members use the "Whipple Watch" Signal group chats to share intelligence on ICE and LE operations, including locations, identifying information, details of operations, numbers, etc.

"Whipple Watch" as in surveilling the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building.Image

"...federal investigation appears to focus on his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Former employees of the governor and people affiliated with his wife’s nonprofit groups are among those who have been questioned by agents, according to the governor’s office." Image
The Representation Project

"No matter who you are or where you live, intersectional gender stereotypes are hurting you and those you love. Through film, education, and activism, The Representation Project awakens consciousness, spotlights the cost of these stereotypes, and invites everyone to build a more equitable future."
therepproject.orgImage
The SacBee published an article back in 2021 on how Newsom's wife used The Representation Project to funnel money and influence to her husband's campaign and office.

Perhaps DOJ has taken an interest in what the SacBee described.

🧵Fulton County 2020 Election Probe Update

The usual suspects are gearing up to fight the DOJ probe into Fulton County, this time as regards the grand jury subpoena for records of employees and volunteers who worked the 2020 election.

Norm Eisen, Abbe Lowell, et al Image
Background

On April 20, 2026, the FBI served a subpoena to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections for information concerning individuals who worked the 2020 elections in Fulton. (see red box in pic.) Image
Fulton had until May 5, 2026, to comply but on April 29 asked for a 14-day extension.

DOJ agreed to the extension. Image

United States v. Rush
(Fmr SES/CIA agent who lied on apps; stole millions in cash, $40mil in gold bars)

At a partially closed and sealed detention hearing on June 5, Rush was DENIED bond and detained pending trial.

DOJ has until August 3, 2026 to indict.

Expect more charges. Image
Key questions:

Was he working for himself? Is he an extraordinary conartist who decided to cash in at the CIA like it was a casino?

Or was he working for someone else? Such as a foreign adversary.
If the former, and I hope it is, then wow. He's an S-tier con man.

If the latter, then uh oh—BIG UH OH.

Who was he working for, for how long, and what value was he providing to them?
