For Some Reason, the FBI Leaves Behind Evidence at the NOLA Terrorist's Apartment and Allows the Media to Conduct Tours

Happy Friday!

Breanna Morello
@BreannaMorello

The FBI left behind critical pieces of evidence like a laptop, the Quran, and books on Islam.

FBI agents tell me these items would have been taken in as evidence.

Another former federal prosecutor says the home would have been sealed off for days because all the forensic teams would be going through it.

Nothing about this is normal.

This isn't transparency.

This is the FBI intentionally trying to cause distrust, while creating their false narrative.

@BreannaMorello

UPDATE

I just spoke to the FBI.

The FBI says journalists were allowed to enter the New Orleans terrorist's home after:

"FBI Houston cleared the scene Thursday morning and released it back to the property owner. The property owner has discretion as to who they allow/don't allow to enter their property once law enforcement has released it."

I also asked the FBI why they did not seize the laptop, Quran, and other religious materials in the ter*ort's home and they did not comment.

CreditL @JennieSTaer

If the terrorist had been one of those "white supremacist Christian nationalists" the media can never stop talking about -- despite being as non-existent as Jussie Smollett's "MAGA Country" attackers -- you better bet they'd have seized his Bible as evidence and used that to prove motive.

But ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE so it's not evidence of anything except of loving Allah.

Meanwhile, a CNN snowflake anchorbimbo and CNN's "national security expert" -- a leftwing radical, of course -- says that it was wrong for the New Orleans mayor to have admitted this was terrorism.

Host Pamela Brown asked national security analyst Juliette Kayyem, "I mean, I've sadly covered too many tragedies like this and it struck me because normally you don't come right out of the gate and label it a terrorist attack or not, Juliette, you know, you say 'we're looking into all possibilities' because it's so early, you don't really know. And there were these explosive devices. This suspect shot at police and hit two police officers. Ten people are killed. More than 30 in the hospital. I mean, this is horrific, Juliette, how do you see this?"


One of those who did label it a terrorist attack was Mayor LaToya Cantrell and Kayyem, who thinks Donald Trump is a terrorist, patronized her and, one presumes, others for believing what they saw with their own eyes, "Yeah, I just think the mayor made a mistake. Let's just, you know, in some ways, move on. It has to be clarified. I do not think she should have come out. You actually saw the people behind her, sort of, flinch. She was speaking as a politician and as someone who governs the city that this was terrorizing. It was terrible. It was terror for those there. But we are now in the investigation and prosecution stage."

Not only is the CIA not allowed to operate on US soil, but they are an anathema to a supposedly free society. Shut down the CIA first. Way more corrupt and doesn't even pretend to have to follow US laws.

Of course, if he says that publicly, he'd have to spend the rest of his life avoiding grassy knolls. Which is a burdensome.

89 Is the FBI still insisting this wasn't a terrorist act?

Still refusing to answer questions about the would-be Trump assassins?

Still refusing to cooperate with the Congressional investigation into the January 6th "pipe bomber?"

Still insisting that white people and Catholics and parents attending school board meetings pose the greatest threat to American national security?

Still lying about President Trump?

Gosh, but we're lucky to have them working on our behalf.

113 WashingtonExaminer:

The Global Engagement Center, the office that Republicans accused of working with groups aiming to demonetize right-leaning media outlets in the United States, shut down in late 2024 upon lawmakers agreeing to no longer fund it. However, in a non-public letter to members of Congress on Dec. 6, the State Department outlined its plans to “realign” more than 50 GEC officials and tens of millions of dollars in funding to a hub purporting to counter foreign interference, documents show.

The plans, which have not been reported on until now, will likely lead to investigations from Republicans into the State Department’s handling of the GEC’s closure.

You're confident of that?

You think our intelligence agencies / FBI are above doing things like that? Stirring the pot for their own reasons?

You're confident that Operation Northwoods and MKUltra and COINTELPRO and all of those programs were one-offs that died in the '60s and our IC/ FBI have learned from past mistakes?

they gave out the BnB he stayed at. Even had a little doorbell cam footage of him by his truck. It was on Mandeville Street, somewhere south of 610 I think. Small little shotgun house. Then there was a fire there, as I recall.

At least part of Mandeville St. is in the Marigny, too -- the stretch close to the river. That's not an area I know well, for two reasons. No, three. One is crime. Another is lousy road surfaces that torture my car and me. And the third is the layout of the streets. There are more than a few blocks there that have *five* sides, and "going around the block" there is confusing as hell.

Because no one in the history of casinos has ever come out ahead in video poker. And we're supposed to believe this guy was a millionaire with multiple properties and tens of thousands of dollars worth of guns, living off his winnings from a game that has worse odds than the slot machines, and was such a high roller that the casinos gave him comped suites?

Sound reasoning.

Saudi embassy officials along with the Bush admin went into coverup mode after 9/11 when clearly the Saudis had some embassy folks giving financial aid and logistics to the 9/11 hijackers.

Berger was not just doing a political coverup when he stole those top secret papers at the joint behest of the Bush and Clinton administration folks.

A lot of that crap from Saudi sources stopped when bin Salman deposed his POS rival bin Talal and his cohort of Salafi supporters in Saudi land.

208 6 Question for the horde
would you go to inauguration or not and why

-------------------

No. Went in 2017 with the wife and her sister who was living in DC and in some GOP circles so we went to a coupla events the night before. I thought it would be fun to experience a modern-day Jacksonian populist inauguration festival, but naively underestimated how the p*ssyhats and antifa / leftists would never concede attention and basically ran amok everywhere. We didn't want to fight the crowd / hassle at the Mall but just wanted to walk around and experience things, and the protesting pretty much ruined it. We were staying at the Hamilton Hotel (IHG property at the time) and the rioters were destroying Franklin Park then smashed the hotel lobby window, then inexplicably the hotel let all the protesters in to take over the lobby, use the bathroom, bandage themselves, use the bar... It was sadly comical. I've been to hotels during Mardi Gras and other events where you need wristbands and ID's to get in via heavy security. They knew for months Trump was getting inaugurated and didn't lift a finger for security... Anyway, will prob be better this time, but we're done w it

I've sat down and stacked pepsi 6 packs (1 for each 4ofaK) next to me so high I needed a dolly to get them to my truck.

Carefully. The problem with the IC (and the Deep State which originated in Turkey) is that they exist as long as society wants them to exist. Sooner or later, all Deep States regimes and are replaced by new actors. Turkey's Deep State went from secularists followers of Ataturk into the current Erdogan reversion to a caliphate. Erdogan's people won.

Iran's Deep State is also beginning to disintegrate just as they displaced the Shah and Savak decades ago.

The Church Commission started down this path and then never completed the task. Probably because there are so many compromised people in DC full disclosure would end a lot of careers at the very least. I think that's why so many of Trump's choices come from outside the swamp or at least outside the infected parts.

This swamp is so deep, both inside and outside of government, I am under no illusion this is going to be fast and surgical. It likely will last beyond Trump. But if he can expose just how corrupt and broken our government has become maybe the country will start demanding reform from all sides of the aisle.

And they can turn around and vacate the chair just as easy just as McCarthy became speaker only to lose it. Most of this idiocy is failure theater except from Massie and his idiots.

The US House is not like some state legislatures where the initial vote on congregation keeps the speaker into place for the session. There is a whole rules package that is voted on every two years by the House (Senate has continuing rules as their body only has 1/3 of the seats up in any election).

The new rules package requires 9 of the majority party to make a motion to replace the speaker which is something the Dems are unhappy about as well as someone like Massie.

Again, how? They run propaganda ops and political assassinations all over the world (including here). They lie to Congress and the President with impunity and have for decades.

They will deny the existence of any files Trump asks to see, then get the media to go after Trump.

They also have blackmail files on, I'm sure, everyone even closely related to Washington.

And even if Trump is as pure as the wind driven snow, they could plant evidence of anything they want on him (child porn, bribes from Russia, whatever it may be)

And if none of that works, they'd just kill him. Make it look like a heart attack or a lone wolf gunman or something.

344 Very few games involve skill. Video poker, namely Double Double Bonus Poker involves a lot of skill.

Rules are as follows.
1. Never keep two pair unless no face cards. See 3.
2. Always play for the 4ofaK. Not flushes not straights not Royals. See 3.
3. Never give the machine money back. If it deals you a win play it, don't try for the higher hand. i.e. a dealt flush with 4 of 5 of a royal or straight flush. Keep the dealt flush. (if you listen hard you can hear the machine laugh at you when you try for higher.)
4. if you double your money leave. (my biggest fault is ignoring this one.)

358 > Utah is the only state that shifted to D (Kamala) rather than Trump. Governor is a barely closeted Dem. Something wrong with that state.

Utahns blame the tech boom and the surge of leftist tech workers. I agree that's a big part of the problem, but I think there's another aspect that observation misses.

When I was at BYU, I noticed that a lot of Utahns really REALLY wanted to be loved and accepted by the world. That was one of the big reasons Romney's actions to save the Olympics won him so many brownie points. Utahns wanted the Olympics to put them in the spotlight and get them respect and positive attention.

Given their history of being expelled from state to state and eventually out of the US, it's understandable. Missouri literally had a law on the books that made it legal to kill Mormons until the 1960s (Missouri Executive Order 44). I'm not saying this to mock Utahns, even though it may sound that way. It's context you need to understand if you want to know what's going on there.

Of COURSE the FBI agents klnew the laptop and the Wuran etc were evidence. But they a. Must have been ordered to leave it alone, and b. They must be themselves compromised anti-American activists to follow those orders.

We are in BIG trouble.

Only occasionally and only on Bill acceptors. A friend of mine runs them and he will ask me to fix those if he's out of the area.

381 It usually goes like this with the Fraud Caucus.

We want “X” as our speaker.

But he better agree to x, which we don’t have the votes to pass because we haven’t convinced enough members to support it.

Then if we get x, we will add some more demands.

It’s not the speaker who is a problem. It is the Fraud Caucus’ sense of reality and what achievable.

Everyone else has to convince others to vote for their bills. But not the Fraud Caucus, because they’re the real conservatives.

Give me a break. They’re grifters.

386 Same general info, video clip but from the Times of India

'Bomb-making materials, an open Quran, and children's toys: Inside New Orleans terror attacker Shamsud-Din Jabbar's home,' Updated: Jan 3, 2025

A chaotic scene at home
The aftermath of the FBI raid on Jabbar’s trailer painted a picture of a man living on the edge. The home was in disarray, with the front door kicked down, cabinets flung open, and furniture overturned.
His main bedroom held a keffiyeh in the closet and bomb-making tools on the workbench—ominous signs of his dark turn. Despite the mess, the home seemed eerily as if he had just left, with clothes and belongings scattered about.

A house of red flags
"Jabbar’s trailer home painted a grim portrait of his descent into extremism. Chemical residues and bottles filled the property, with an inventory left behind by FBI agents listing compounds commonly used in bomb-making.
... Yet, the home also bore traces of his fragmented personal life. A back bedroom was cluttered with children’s toys and bunk beds—remnants of his role as a father to two daughters, aged 15 and 20."
--
And also a young son, about 5-6 years old.

387 Reportedly, the NOLO IEDs he placed were duds. He used the vehicle to inflict carnage, maybe after fortifying with drugs or alcohol, & then committing suicide by cop.

OTOH, it was reported by a relative (uncle?) the exploding car Las Vegas man had the expertise to create bombs. He didn't use it & killed himself by the time the Cybertruck was at the entrance to the building where he and his wife had broken up. (They had one child, she accused him of cheating.)

ISIS or some radical religious groups contacting certain former and current vulnerable Army personnel and blackmailing them, threatening their families?

Is that possibility being examined?

389 Missouri literally had a law on the books that made it legal to kill Mormons until the 1960s (Missouri Executive Order 44).

I read that as "made is legal to kill Morons" and was briefly alarmed.

I honestly think it’s a False Flag. To what ends? I don’t know but the Muslim dude, I think, is a push for an expansion back in the ME. Specifically war with Iran.

I say that because I read reports they Biden was trying to start war with Iran.

391 Why does the FBI have any offices in other countries?

I can see the argument for it -- investigations of US crimes will at times need to work overseas and in foreign countries tracking down a criminal, etc. But having permanent bases in other nations is way beyond the mission and design of the FBI.

Doesn't really matter unlike the idiots on the media mouth about. What matters is a majority of the votes aka 218 with a full Congress of 435 and majority control over the House Rules Committee for legislative passage. Senate is a different body altogether which hangs together on reconciliation arcane rules, the filibuster, and unanimous consent. Leadership in both chambers is more like herding cats than it is about leadership. You lead where the cats want to go, not from the front unless you have whopping big majorities that have not been seen since the Carter era.

Far too many people watch political news as something similar to sportsball to them. Most of the real news you end up finding out about weeks if not months or years after something was done in the dark of the night.

394 Again. Washington DC is totally broken and irreparable. States need to start finding ways to separate from that oozing, putrid, gangrenous pile of corruption. No matter how good Trump may be, he has zero chance of fixing it. We need to start finding ways to kill that town, not save it.

395 When I heard GWB say "Islam is a religion of peace," I knew we were probably going to lose that war. I think it was like a week after those peaceful sandmaggots murdered three thousand people.

What a sorry faggot that guy is.

I was just thinking that the other day. After the greatest terrorist attack in history all Bush could think of to say was that Islam is peaceful. Funny how I don't remember any Muslim authorities say anything similar. As a matter of fact weren't the Muslims handing out candy in Gaza IIRC?


I'm ashamed I ever supported Bush.

397 If they were smart enough even just to want to give the appearance of competence, this is about as far from how you act as is humanly possibly.
I'm not sure what is more concerning. The corruption or that fact that they even seem to realise how incompetent they are.

This is what 30 years of political indoctrination and credentialism gets you. Completely unfixable.
