A former high-level Obama administration intelligence official has guaranteed the $250,000 bail for the New York City lawyer who allegedly firebombed an unoccupied NYPD police cruiser early Saturday, calling the suspect her “best friend,” Fox News has confirmed.
The Washington Free Beacon first reported that Salmah Rizvi, who served in the Defense Department and State Department during the Obama administration, went to bat for Urooj Rahman, who was arrested this weekend alongside Pryor Cashman associate Colinford Mattis.
Rizvi, an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray, told the court: “Urooj Rahman is my best friend and I am an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray in Washington, D.C. ... I earn $255,000 a year.”

Rizvi is a Marxist. We need more information on her background. Wonder how she passed any security check.
$225,000 isn’t a lot of money to live in DC. If they are best friends are they similar bagels? If so aging student loans ? Where does the money come from?
$25,000 grand would take me a bit of work.
“I am an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray in Washington, D.C.”
“Ropes & Gray”? I don’t know. That’s not a very comforting law firm name.
Sounds like you’re either gonna get the Rope or the Graybar Hotel.
