Trump lives in their head 24/7. Update to this previous story.
Via Detroit News:
The lawyer for an American Muslim arrested by the FBI’s counterterrorism squad after allegedly buying illegal explosives said Thursday his client is politically incorrect, and may be offensive, but so is Donald Trump.
“And he’s running for president,” defense lawyer David Tholen said during a failed bid to get client Sebastian Gregerson, aka Abdurrahman Bin Mikaayl, freed on bond.
The comparison came three days after the 29-year-old Detroit man was arrested while buying illegal grenades from an undercover federal agent, according to the FBI. The purchase capped a 16-month investigation during which Gregerson amassed an arsenal of weapons — including several firearms, hundreds of rounds of AK-47 ammunition and tactical gear — and talked about carrying out an unspecified attack.
During the bond hearing Thursday in federal court, the government never mentioned terrorism and never detailed why Gregerson amassed the arsenal. But Gregerson’s lawyer repeatedly referenced a sealed court filing that “goes way beyond” a criminal complaint alleging Gregerson possessed a destructive device and received explosive materials.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Cathleen Corken labeled Gregerson a dangerous man who hoarded weapons, bought illegal high-grade explosives and expressed interest in buying a mine — items that are solely designed to kill and maim.
“These are preparations for some violent acts,” Corken told U.S. Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub.
Gregerson’s lawyer labeled him a survivalist, a gun enthusiast and avid hunter.
“The government is overstating its case,” Tholen told the judge.
The magistrate judge, referencing the alleged grenade purchase and arsenal of weapons, determined Gregerson was a danger to the community.
“What does one do with these items? What does one do with a grenade?” Majzoub said. “Why does anybody want to purchase a Claymore mine, which is only used to cause death and destruction?”
