A Coast Guard lieutenant assigned to the service's headquarters in Washington, D.C., has been arrested on drug and gun possession charges, and is accused of plans to "murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country," according to documents filed in Maryland District Court.
Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, an acquisitions officer for the National Security Cutter Acquisition Program, was arrested Feb. 15 and charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition by an unlawful user or addict of controlled substances, and possession of Tramadol, a Schedule IV pain medication.
A motion for detention pending trial, filed by U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur, paints a much more menacing portrait of Hasson's crimes and planned crimes.
"The current charges, however, are the proverbial tip of the iceberg," Hur wrote. "The defendant is a domestic terrorist, bent on committing acts dangerous to human life that are intended to affect government conduct."
Hur cited a draft email written by Hasson in June 2017 in which he said he was "dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth" using a "Spanish flu, botulism, anthrax" or some other mass toxin.
Another draft letter to a "known American neo-Nazi leader" identified Hasson as a white nationalist looking for an opportunity for "a little focused violence" to establish racial supremacy.
When Hasson was arrested in Silver Spring, Maryland, earlier this month, the document states, law enforcement agents found 15 firearms, including shotguns, rifles and handguns, and "conservatively, over 1,000 rounds of mixed ammunition."
A list of potential targets allegedly compiled by Hasson in January included "prominent Democratic congressional leaders, activists, political organizations, and MSNBC and CNN media personalities" including TV host Chris Hayes; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California; Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York; and many others.

Why do these people always write down/publicize their stupid plots?
Funny how the Fed’s just happen to have these cases to announce whenever the dirty FBI is getting covered in the news.
That’s hardly enough ammo for target practice.

They’ll throw the book at him. Yet when leftists target right wingers and conservatives like Steve Scalise, Rand Paul, Sarah Huckabee Sanders,16 year old boys like Sandmann, Brett Kavanaugh and more.....
Nothing is done about that.
Sounds like Antifa to me.
That story will push the Smollett, Virginia Gov/Lieutenant Gov/Attorney General stories into the ‘We didn’t have time to cover it’ pile.
With the fake news what it is, let’s wait for all the facts to come out. Like who has faith in the feds and the news media?
My mom used to tell me not to try and rationalize why irrational people do what they do.
They are, after all....well....irrational.
Tramadol? Honestly Tramadol? When I had a torn tendon they gave me this sugar pill. It did less than ibuprofen.
This stuff is so weak it should not even be regulated.

****************
More like stupid, delusional FANTASIES.
So the Juicy Smell-it meme has collapsed and it’s time to move on to this.
I will bet my house this is an FBI informant entrapment special.
We are going to hear more about this than we did the Scalise shooting.
..... Why does this remind me of the so called MAGA Bomb suspect who sent around all of those dud bombs to the same people this guy is allegedly targeting .....
Only 15 firearms? How many can he shoot at once anyway? And anything less than 10,000 rounds is not significant. As far as his koko’s list goes who doesn’t have one of those? The guy is a piker and as usual the government is vastly overstating its position. “If the federal government was put in charge of the Sahara Desert tomorrow in five years we would have a sand shortage”.

When news got slow in certain weeks in the print newspaper business, they called it the silly season when UFO stories, Bigfoot sightings, and others were in the papers due to lack of substantial subjects. As when DC empties out for 2 weeks every holiday. Leaves us with McCain (gone) Flake and Mitt to drone on for hours on TV panels.
Lead story on NBC network news at 6:30 pm.
Mission accomplished.
NBC reported he is a white nationalist who wanted to kill democrats.
