Looks like she lost the top of her head there.

The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office officials in Baltimore announced they had arrested two individuals, a man and a woman, with extremist views who were allegedly attempting to attack the power grid in Maryland.
FBI officials told reporters they believe this was a "real threat" that had been thwarted.
Sarah Beth Clendaniel, 34, of Catonsville, Maryland, and Brandon Clint Russell, 27, of Orlando, Florida, are charged through a federal criminal complaint with conspiracy to destroy an energy facility, Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, and Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Sobocinski, of the FBI Baltimore Field Office, announced Monday.
Clendaniel spoke to an FBI informant about her plan just last week, according to authorities. Russell is an alleged neo-Nazi figure who authorities say posted locations of substations.
Clendaniel allegedly told an FBI confidential source that she planned to target five substations including in Norrisville, Reisterstown and Perry Hall, according to an affidavit by Special Agent Patrick W. Straub, of the Joint Terrorism Task Force ("JTTF") in the FBI Baltimore Division….
… The affidavit reveals the two defendants were in separate prisons for past crimes and communicated online. In messages, Clendaniel allegedly referenced Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Hitler. She was in a Maryland prison for robbing convenience stores with a machete. Russell was in prison for holding bomb making materials.…
… This plot is not related to but comes on the heels of several power grid attacks in North Carolina, Washington, and Oregon late last year.
As alleged in the affidavit, Russell conspired to carry out attacks against critical infrastructure, specifically electrical substations, in furtherance of Russell’s "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist beliefs" from at least June 2022 to the present.

Now the FBI can claim to be “doing something” despite no evidence of them making progress investigating recent ACTUAL ATTACKS on transformers in North Carolina, Oregon and Washington — probably by leftist environmentalists.
Oh, “extremist views” eh? Weird huh?
“ Clendaniel allegedly referenced Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Hitler”
Clearly a crazed libtard zombie causing additional chaos
“Round up the usual suspects.”
How many Feebs were involved in their “conspiracy”?
Brandon eh?
Not sure why neo nazi ideology makes one attack power grids. Easier to see why environmental ideology might. Would expect neo nazis to attack a Jewish center or the like.
More entrapment of people though the use of informants not a serious operation against serious criminal activity.

....uh oh, they showed up in a photo of the audience at a school board hearing...............
Exactly, like those poor dupes in Mi who caught snared in a total BS kidnapping plot of the rat Governor. The head of that op ran the raid on Trumps home.
Neo- nazi eh?
Like the socialists in Germany?
Or maybe Auntie Fah?
“FBI arrests man, woman . .”
I thought it was a Tranny article
“Ted Kaczynski and Hitler”
Lol—those two disagreed on absolutely everything...
Reading other articles “Neo Nazi extremists”...so they were leftists. Looking to reinstate the Nazi (National SOCIALIST workers party) planks. Which are literally the Democrat’s platform.
I actually know a Nazi according to my son who knew his kids. He’s in jail right now. Brilliant guy but he had no filter at all.
Just cut the wires at one of Joe’s houses that he stole from us. Please use uninsulated cutters for a robust result.
Looks like she lost the top of her head there.
I read this article earlier and thought it certainly was light on evidence of exactly what “extremist” views they had. Were they just common place “extreme” criminals who like creating chaos, or were they ANTIFA enviro-wackies who were doing it to “save the planet”?
It’s seems as if they expressed any type of conservative views in the past, that information would have been front and center of any law enforcement agency statement. “Right-wing domestic terrorists” would be featured on the front pages of NYTs and WaPo.
I see a no trial, no charges, rebar vacation courtesy of the lying crooked, low life justice department in the near future.
From my reading of this, none were actually “caught in the act” but
BSing online with each other.
Something done countless times on the internet and at any bar near closing time.
Actually crimes solved?
Still waiting for the Jan 6th DC bomber....
