Somehow the story of the two guys, with alleged links to everything from Iran’s IRGC, a hub of Islamic terrorism, to Pakistani intelligence, the guys behind Al Qaeda and the Taliban, infiltrating the Secret Service and other federal law enforcement and intel services keeps getting worse and worse.
More troubling, the pair appear to have been tipped off to the FBI’s impending raid and arrest, and tried to ditch some potentially incriminating items via a Secret Service agent assigned to protect the White House, prosecutors said.
Via a Secret Service agent assigned to protect the White House. That’s really something.
The big question is still what the hell were they up to, throwing around sizable amounts of money and trying to befriend our people?
Prosecutors said they interviewed a former U.S. Marine, who the pair attempted to recruit on the basis of their false DHS credentials. The unnamed witness alleged he observed illegal weapons in Taherzadeh and Ali’s presence, including an AR-15/M4 variant automatic rifle with an illegal suppressor and an AR pistol.
Recruit to do what?
“The Defendants were not merely playing dress-up,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Rothstein argued; “they had firearms, they had ammunition, they had body armor, they had tactical gear, they had surveillance equipment, and they were engaged in conduct that represented a serious threat to the community, compromised the operations of a federal law enforcement agency, and created a potential risk to national security.”
That much clear, what isn’t clear is the endgame.
“I don’t know that we know the ultimate purpose” of the alleged scheme, Rothstein said, or whether the two ever asked any Secret Service officers for anything in exchange for the apartments or items.
“This is a complicated case,” the judge said. “Never seen one quite like it.”
No kidding.

The alphabet agents the “civil servants” running the federal law enforcement FBI,CIA ,DHS ect. are too busy looking for the last KKK members (they are all most likely over 80 years old) or some mentally handicapped Nazi living in his mother basement, or going to CRT classes then Jihadist getting fake badges, uniforms, a lot of money from unknown sources, infuriating their agencies .The people running these agencies must be replaced forthwith because they let this happen.

They had a bunch of stuff that they should not have had, but were tipped off so they could FedEx it or UPS it out of their apartment.
Maybe they are taliban and brought the stuff over with them on one of the planes bringing in “refugees” to infiltrate American society and these two are “just a tip” of what brought down the Towers.
Remember what the mb said in their paper back in the ’90’s..to bring down the “miserable house” from within…well they have two despicable mozlums in the House, and if they can get some as rabid as those two witches inside other government offices…they might just succeed.

Iran & Pakistan have intel links? That’s interesting: while those countries were not hostile to each other, they didn’t have the warmest of relations. It did improve under Imran Khan, but now that he’s gone, there’s no saying where that relationship will go

This is what we get in Crack Pipe Joe’s islamocommunist America. The real question has less to do with the moslems than the agents. It has to do with the stupidity or complicity of the SS agents. The question is “What were the SS agents doing getting involved with moslems”? Were they really that stupid and clueless? We know what moslems are. We know what they do. Why didn’t the agents? To anyone who knows anything about moslems, it’s patently obvious that they were planning an assassination or assassinations and or some sort of terror attack. And, they pay these government workers? How do I get a job like that?

Another moronic decision.
Not a flight risk?
Balls.

Had some of the agents these two tried to buy been Muslim the consequences could have been deadly– but hey, for all we know, given the multi cultural mindset of the government and of the questionable, gullible and greedy behavior of our agents, it wouldn’t surprise me if a sleeper jihadist isn’t already waiting in the wings.
