Waiting on the identity on the charged bomber, but as an old explosives prosecutor, I'll say that evidence of identity can come from bomb signatures recognized by investigators w/institutional knowledge, components & where they were purchased, or tips. Revisiting old evidence can be illuminating.

Everyone’s Talking About β€œUnlawful Orders.” No One’s Helping the People Who Might Face Them. Political leaders on both sides are fueling chaos. The people on the ground are left with the impossible decisions β€” and no meaningful guidance.

Opinion | The Epstein Story? Count Me Out.

β€œWhat I don’t understand is why some Democrats are hopping on this bandwagon. They may believe the Epstein file release will hurt Trump. But they are undermining public trust and sowing public cynicism in ways that make the entire progressive project impossible.β€œ

This federal gambling takedown is absolutely wild. Mafia soldiers, an NBA coach, rigged poker games with crooked shuffling machines and hidden cameras…and an allegation that an NBA player fixed a game to profit from a bet.

Sources tell me the line prosecutors in that office are devastated by what has transpired. Their new leader, interim U.S. Attorney, Lindsey Halligan, has never prosecuted a case.

The EDVA US Attorney's Office is one of the country's most important because it handles complex national security and terrorism cases. After the Comey case and now this, that office is in shambles.

The Abbey Gate terrorist case is supposed to go trial in early December. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi made a point of going to the airport to meet the plane that brought the defendant to the U.S. Now the DoJ has fired the prosecutor for political reasons,

Michael Ben’Ary was a DoJ lifer who worked his way up the career ranks. He was the lead prosecutor in a case the Trump administration has boasted about, against an accused terrorist alleged to have been involved in the 2021 suicide bombing in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members.

As I reported last night: The DoJ fired the top national security prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia a few hours after MAGA activist Julie Kelly denounced him on X because he has been detailed to work for the deputy attorney general in the last administration.
