News snippet: A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend.
Authorities with the FBI and in Michigan have offered few details about the case, however as he announced the arrests on Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel said more information would be released. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday.
The investigation involved discussion in an online chat room involving at least some of the suspects who were taken into custody, according to two people briefed on the investigation who could not publicly discuss details. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The group allegedly discussed carrying out an attack around Halloween, referring to “pumpkin day,” according to one of the people. The other person briefed on the investigation confirmed that there had been a “pumpkin” reference.

This accusation gives off “War on Christmas” vibes.

It’s certainly possible people in a chat group talked about Halloween and about scaring people at that time. What is the evidence it was an actual terrorist plot? What were they planning to do?

That’s weird, I would have expected the defense attorney to say his client was guilty. This guy’s good.

They want a Reichstag fire, Marco Polo bridge incident, Gleiwitz incident, and other false flag shit that guys like Alex Jones would bloviate and salivate over for a pretext or excuse to do horrible shit.

I have to say, I was pretty surprised to see ISIS show up in the news again. They must be running out of ideas

The regime counts arrests which means nothing.
For the time being, count convictions but that ground feels shakier and shakier.

not surprised. I live one city over from Dearborn and literally nothing was going on here at all all weekend.

I called it yesterday when half of the comments were “how could you not care about the people of Michigan?!”
Oh I care about people everywhere. Kash Patel is a fucking lying joke though.
