A Michigan defense lawyer is disputing FBI Director Kash Patel’s allegations that his 20-year-old client and four other young suspects were planning to carry out a terror attack on Halloween weekend.

Announcing their arrests on Friday, Patel said more information would be coming soon, however the FBI and Michigan authorities have offered few details about the case. Spokespersons for the state and national FBI and the U.S. Attorney in Detroit did not immediately respond to messages Saturday.

1. I don't believe a fucking word coming out of the FBI or the DoJ,

until I see a reputable news source, which is getting harder and harder to find these days, I question the validity of these allegations.

But, then again, I expect any competent defense lawyer to say this, if they didn't, then I would fire them and get another attorney.

6. That's the alarming reality

I pay attention to what's going on, in the news for the US and all over, I feel it is a necessity, and for this Cabal of a Presidential Administration, the lies, oddities and red flags are coming out of the speakers of the television, my car speakers, in print and ricocheting off the walls non stop, just about every hour of every day. The thing is the main players don't inspire a sense respect as professionals in their field, nor trust that what they say is true, and that they are capable of keeping all of us safe.

I am skeptical, and I'll wait to learn what this is really about.

2. If they did, in fact, stop a legitimate plan, good that's their job, not the crud they've been concentrating on.

3. To be fair, how often does a lawyer open with "my client is guilty"?

There's no public evidence either way at this point.

4. Unfortunately, whether or not it existed before, it exists now and the administration will crow about it as needed

Also, expect this to be linked in with the justifications for further civil-liberties violations and gratuitous crackdowns whether or not charges are filed.

Our society's greatest failure in the 21st century was letting right-wing ideologues monopolize and control the news media.

5. Patel has no law enforcement experience

He just kissed the slob father's rear better than the rest.

7. This is what happens when you let the conservative Right take over.

They see enemies everywhere, they're so paranoid.
