PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A former resident of Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania, has been indicted after prosecutors said he tried to join the terrorist organization Hizballah and lied about it to the FBI.
A federal grand jury indicted 24-year-old Jack Molloy, who was charged last month after he was arrested in Chicago on Dec. 6...
According to court paperwork, Molloy was formerly enlisted as an active-duty soldier in the U.S. Army from about March 2019 to April 2019...

Shocking.
That the fbi actually caught an actual bad guy, that is.
Dual citizen of Ireland and the US.
...During his time in the United States and abroad, prosecutors said Molloy expressed his hatred toward Jews. In a message to his mom, he agreed that his “master plan was to join Hezbollah and kill Jews,” according to court paperwork. He also told her he was considering fighting for Russia against Ukraine in order to reach his goal....
Somehow entered an agreement with the US Army reserves for officer training school through the U of Chicago after just a brief few weeks in the Army.
Possibly good with languages with all that traveling.

Shawn Brokos, a former FBI special agent, said the 27-page criminal complaint for Molloy is daunting.
“It’s very clear that he had an allegiance to Hizballah, but also what was clear is his hatred of the Jews,” Brokos told KDKA on Thursday.
Brokos now works as the director of community security for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh. She said part of why the federation has followed the case so closely is because, according to the complaint, Molloy visited a website detailing the possible prison location of Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.
“Anytime we see anybody who’s looking to connect with Bowers or that ideology, it’s troubling,” Brokos said.
She wonders if Molloy could have staged an attack on Pittsburgh’s Jewish community.
“The complaint and then today’s indictment are very compelling,” she said. “And it raises a lot of concern for the actor’s intent. What was he going to do?”
She says law enforcement can’t investigate everyone who has expressed hate. But she said there are similarities between Molloy, the New Orleans truck attack suspect and the man at the center of the Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Brokos said the similarity is all three are current or former military.
“What are those connections? What is happening? How are these men becoming radicalized? What is happening?” Brokos said.
That’s why she says it is important for law enforcement to be proactive, like she says the FBI was in Molloy’s case.

The FBI had an active case on this guy.
His status as a veteran contributed to their suspicion of him.
“Shawn Brokos” ... based on what she’s saying, she must consider herself some sort of genius for coming up with the idea that modern veterans should be profiled so that they can be caught and dragged before the authorities before they do anything bad.
Probably only because they thought he was a white supremacist.
Charge him for joining a terrorist organization, OK.
But . . .
The FBI constantly lies to US so lying to them should be fair play.
I wouldn’t even call him a veteran. Bootcamp is longer than one month.
Whack job
Yeah that’s true.
It’s not as if you can quit if you’ve signed a contract. This guy is being portrayed as dipping in and out of military service, when that’s not at all how it works.
Mom dropped the ball
“The FBI constantly lies to US so lying to them should be fair play.”
BINGO!
If I ever found myself in a room with those people I’d take the Sgt Schultz defense: “I know nothing, I see nothing”.
That was ROTC, a college based training program, not actually in the Armed Services...
He failed the FBI’s initial screening to be aa “white terrorist” eh?
Interesting how these military (current and ex) are being revealed SUDDENLY? Deepstate is trying to discredit veterans, which can be an effective force against a criminal govt complex.
WE train them to ATTACK US.
We have to quit accepting “lying to FBI” as a crime. They lie about everything. Trust nothing any of them say on anything.
