The feds unsealed terrorism charges against a white supremacist last week. But the Justice Department didn’t tell anyone. Here’s why: huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
DOJ’s former NatSec chief tells me Neo-Nazi's alleged terror plot "is very much on par with other terrorism crimes that we’ve seen in the United States and elsewhere which are motivated by the Islamist extremist ideologies such as that promoted by ISIS.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
Former DOJ National Security Division chief tells me the terrorism case against this alleged Neo Nazi would’ve been handled a lot differently had he be been "pledging Bay’ah to Baghdadi.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
The Neo Nazi the feds charged with a terrorist attack on a train was released from jail after his arrest on local charges. The FBI hadn’t even searched his home yet. You don't see that in ISIS cases. huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
The U.S. has no standalone law against domestic terrorism. The only reason a federal terror charge was even an option against this domestic extremist is because he targeted an transportation system specifically protected under a federal terror statute. huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
Put another way: An alleged terrorist’s cousin knew he was radicalized online, associated with extremists, had a massive arsenal, and seemed to be escalating. He thought his cousin was “serious” about killing Americans. Yet he never informed authorities. huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
The alleged terrorist’s parents also evidently misled the FBI and refused to cooperate as the feds tried to learn more about their son’s extremist ideology, which they may have known of and tolerated. huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
At virtually every step, the investigation into an armed white man who brought an Amtrak train to a grinding halt was handled differently than it would have been had authorities had any suspicion he was inspired by a foreign terror organization like ISIS. huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-ses…
