Stash of assault rifles, body armor, passports with multiple visas, and sham uniforms found in penthouse of 'fake' Homeland agents - including one with 'links to Pakistani intelligence' - who 'infiltrated Biden, Kamala and Jill's Secret Service details'

A motion for detention of the two men who were arrested Wednesday for impersonating federal agents includes a slew of damning evidence, including images showing several different passports, visas and IDs.

The prosecutors are requesting Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Sher-Ali, 35, be detained due to a slew of evidence found in a raid of their units in a luxury apartment building in southeast Washington, D.C.

'They are not law enforcement agents, and they are not involved in sanctioned covert activities,' the motion for detention filed Friday claims. 'Neither Defendant is even employed by the United States government.'

'But their impersonation scheme was sufficiently realistic to convince other government employees, including law enforcement agents, of their false identities,' the memorandum added.

Taherzadeh told law enforcement in an interview after being taken into custody on Wednesday that Ali was the one funding their lavish lifestyle and seemingly endless stream of gifts, but claimed he wasn't aware where the money was coming from.

keeps getting worse

[ConservativeMind]

They’d be easier to detain if they had their arms and legs removed.

Sort of like Weebles.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder how they got into the country? 🤡

[RummyChick]

I guess the plan was to get close to the Secret Service and then get blackmail material on them and/or pay them off but to what end remains unclear

Obtain secrets or to actually kill one of them.

All very weird

“...not involved in sanctioned covert activities...”

Oh. Yeah. [Gives thumb up sign. Nods sarcastically>.]

[BiglyCommentary]

Foreign ops, no doubt.

I admit I know nothing about this, but Taherzadeh sure looks like an Iranian/Farsi name based on the transliteration used.

Seems kinda suss.

[RummyChick]

glad you pointed that out. wording very weird

so were they cutouts? black ops doing the kind of work where you get denied (cue Mission Impossible music)...

it almost sounds like they had done work for the US.

[subterfuge]

Had to be someone on the inside that knew and was helping them.

[V_TWIN]

Don’t tell me let me guess.....when they were arrested they were all wearing MAGA hats.

[I-ambush]

I doubt that they would try to assassinate either Joe or Jill, but I would bet that a Secret Service agent hears all kinds of sensitive information.

[hflynn]

Barack or covid Nancy.

[RummyChick]

the really wild part of this to me is that they were only caught by accident because something happened to a mail carrier in that complex

[Karliner]

Exciting. How will the adults spin this one?

[oil_dude]

Awan brothers are back?/s

[Seruzawa]

Lol. In Govt the stupidest and most vicious backstabbers are the ones who rise to the top. Usually such goings on as this one are covered up. Somehow they didn’t manage to cover up this one.

[subterfuge]

Yes something is left out of the story as usual.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

Let’s see...

Two Muslims who are Persian (names fit), who have a stash of “goodies” and access to the WH.

Didn’t I see something similar in a movie?

Damn, can’t think of it now.

5.56mm

At least one of the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agents receiving free rent from Taherzadehand Ali was assigned to the detail protecting Harris' residence at Number One Observatory Circle at the Naval Observatory,

We probably aren't being told most of the story. Remember how the 9/11 hijackers had their rent paid by "Imams" who were friends of the Saudi Royal family?

Glad it was just Biden and Harris, and not anyone important.
