Source: Baltimore Sun

A 52-year-old Baltimore man, one of three more people charged in the Aug. 12 white nationalist rally in Virginia, was arrested Saturday and is being held in the Baltimore County Detention Center.

The man, identified as Richard Wilson Preston, was charged by Charlottesville, Va., police with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school. Charlottesville Police said in a news release that Preston fired a gun in the 100 block of West Market Street.

Court records list his address in the 5800 block of Cedonia Ave. in the Northeast Baltimore neighborhood of Cedmont. Numerous news reports refer to Preston as imperial wizard of Marylands Ku Klux Klan chapter.

He was apparently picked up Saturday on a fugitive warrant issued in Virginia.

Trump Pee Tape Dossier Researcher Tells Investigators He Stands By Explosive Allegations About Russi

Glenn Simpson, whose firm compiled an infamous and salacious dossier about President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia, told Senate investigators Tuesday that he “stands by” its findings. The private investigator and former reporter spent more than 10 hours being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee after Chairman Chuck Grassley withdrew a subpoena when Simpson agreed to testify behind closed doors.

"Mr. Simpson told Congress the truth and cleared the record on many matters of interest to congressional investigators,” Simpson’s attorney Josh Levy told reporters following the session, according to ABC News.

Simpson co-founded the private research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired to produce a report on Trump. The dossier, largely prepared by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, alleges collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia. Among other explosive claims about the president’s links to the country are that the Kremlin has a compromising video of Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel in which Barack and Michelle Obama once stayed.

The claims remain unverified and have been vehemently denied by Trump.

“Now that was totally made-up stuff.... I know a lot about those guys, they’re phony guys,” Trump told The New York Times last month. “They make up whatever they want. Just not my thing. Plus, I have witnesses, because I went there with a group of people.”

Fred C. Trump FOIA Request Records

8/08/2017

https://vault.fbi.gov/fred-c.-trump-foia-request-records (466 pages)

if that doesn't work go here scroll to the bottom -- https://vault.fbi.gov/recently-added

I think these are just requests with FBI responses. Too many pages to sort through but I doubt there is much in here. Sorry for posting, I'd self-delete but I wanted to explain.

I made a mistake posting this. It is basically people over and over filing a FOIA request on Trump with the FBI responding over and over "we don't make files on citizens" and a "rap sheet" is something that is generally not included in FBI files. If there is something good in there it is a needle in a haystack.

On edit -- other parts address other things outside of the fascist plot but all related to Smedley Butler. Nothing really earth shattering though some parts are still redacted.
