The FBI arrested Sarah Beth Clendaniel of Catonsville and Brandon Russell of Orlando, Florida, last month. Federal prosecutors allege that the pair were planning to destroy five energy facilities in Norrisville, Reisterstown, Perry Hall and other parts of the Baltimore area.
Clendaniel, 34, and Russell, 27, plotted to shoot up and damage the substations because they thought the attacks would “completely destroy this whole city [of Baltimore]” and cause a “cascading failure costing billions of dollars,” according to an FBI affidavit.
The two were indicted Feb. 14 of a single count of conspiring to destroy an energy facility, after being taken into custody Feb. 3.
Clendaniel and Russell appeared before U.S. District Court Judge Beth Gesner Friday morning at the federal courthouse in downtown Baltimore in separate arraignment hearings.
Clendaniel, wearing a yellow prison-issued jumpsuit, waved and blew a kiss to family members who attended the hearing, while Russell appeared wearing a red jumpsuit for his first appearance in Maryland.
Clendaniel pleaded not guilty via her attorney, public defender Kirstin Hopkins.
Russell also pleaded not guilty via his attorneys, Kobie Flowers and visiting counsel Ian Goldstein of West Palm Beach, Florida.
Both Clendaniel and Russell face maximum sentences of 20 years each if convicted, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release thereafter.
According to the affidavit, Clendaniel told a FBI source that she had a terminal kidney disease, was “unlikely to live more than a few months” and “wanted to accomplish something worthwhile” before her death.
Two months before her arrest, Clendaniel posted tweets to her still-active Twitter account, referencing previously attempted substation attacks. She also praised Adolf Hitler, the Taliban and Ted Kaczynski.

Stupid people are everywhere.
Florida Man is branching out, I see.
Heck, given their joke of a government, Baltimore will be going without power in the near future.
Isn’t that a name of a country song?
Nevermind. I was thinking of this one:

Former FBI deputy assistant director of counterterrorism Terry Turchie said Attorney General Merrick Garland wouldn’t recommend approval for a search warrant for the Unabomber’s cabin on Thursday’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
“I’ve never said this publicly, but I’ll just tell you right now because it just sickens me to watch and listen to Merrick Garland, because Merrick Garland was in charge of the prosecution at DOJ of the Unabomber,” Turchie said. “And I have to tell you something: He would not recommend to the AG that our search warrant to get into Theodore Kaczynski’s cabin be approved.”

So Clendaniel was posting about the Unabomber in December, which is about when he was being moved from Colorado to the prison the the Carolinas, so it was a topic in the news.
One of their targets was in Reistertown. That is where there was a big explosion i. 2020, at the time people speculated it was a gas excision or a meth lab but I never heard the outcome:

Nutcases.
Oh goodie, she waved and blew a kiss to her poor family that has to go home now and deal with a community that must have so many questions.
Wonder why Sarah Beth Clendaniel chose Baltimore?
She has a thing for the Taliban, which is weird. What attracts her to them? And why Baltimore?
Could she have gone to school with this guy? A terrorist who was released to Belize a day or so before these two were detained was Majid Khan, who went to school in Baltimore as a kid.
It's good to have goals.

“In January 2023, she introduced herself to a person she did not know was a Federal Bureau of Investigation confidential source and sought help obtaining firearms. She told the person she wanted to accomplish something worthwhile before she died of a terminal illness in her kidneys in a few months.”
Based on a pic of her, she is very sad-looking. Reportedly has a criminal history including robberies, etc., and hooked up with the (younger) guy via letters while they were both in prison. Unclear whether the terminal kidney story is real or bs. Her contact with an FBI confidential source makes you want to say hmm... what a coincidence.
