2022-04-09 Home Front: WoT
Stash of assault rifles, body armor, passports with multiple visas, and sham uniforms found in penthouse of 'fake' Homeland agents
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A motion for detention shows two men impersonating federal agents, Haider Sher-Ali, 35, and Arian Taherzadeh, 40, had a slew of damning evidence in their apartments

  • This included images showing several different passports and IDs as well as firearms

  • '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
    Didja look and see who they were employed by? We'll wait.
  • 'But their impersonation scheme was sufficiently realistic to convince other government employees, including law enforcement agents, of their false identities,' the memorandum added.

  • At least two Secret Service agents assigned to Biden and Harris' protective detail were caught up in the scheme by two men posing as DHS agents

  • One agent receiving free rent, sources say, was regularly stationed at VP Kamala Harris' residence at One Observatory Circle at the Naval Observatory

  • Another who was often seen partying with the two men is on the presidential protective detail

  • At least four Secret Service agents have been placed on administrative leave

  • Taherzadeh and Ali were arrested Wednesday for impersonating federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security, their apartment were raided by the FBI, NCIS and USPIS

  • The duo claimed to be involved in an investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack
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.

Ali, according to Taherzadeh, was the one able to gain access codes and a list of tenants in the Crossing DC apartment complex — owned by upscale real estate firm Tishman Speyer.

'With respect to Ali, Taherzadeh stated that Ali had obtained the electronic access codes and a list of all of the tenants in the apartment complex,' the memorandum notes. 'Taherzadeh further stated that Ali was the individual that funded most of their day-to-day operation but Taherzadeh did not know the source of the funds.'

Just after the interaction with a Postal Inspector in March, which eventually led to the duo's arrest, Taherzadeh said that he started deleting law enforcement material from his social media.

Images from the raid Wednesday of a unit on the 7th floor where Taherzadeh was residing allegedly for free showed agents recovered 'three current copies of Taherzadeh's Washington D.C. driver's license, passport, United States Special Police — Special Investigations Unit business cards, a USSP police badge, and several identification and credit cards.'

During an arraignment Thursday afternoon, details emerged that there could be connections between Ali and the Pak Intelligence Service.

Two of his passports were found during a raid of his unit on the 6th floor of Crossing DC.

'Ali's expired passport contained several visas authorizing foreign travel,' the Friday memorandum notes. 'For instance, this passport contained two visas authorizing travel from the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran.'

'The Government has identified at least four entry/exit stamps from Mashhad International Airport in Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan, Iran.'

It goes on: 'In addition, the Ali's passport contained two thirty-day visas from Pakistain and one visa for travel to Egypt.'

Images of these visas and passports corroborate the claims made in the memorandum for detention of Taherzadeh and Ali.

Customs and Border Protection records show that Ali traveled through Doha, Qatar

#1 duo claimed to be involved in an investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol attack

Clever. That should open any doors in DC.

#2 So at no time in 18 months it was determined that Biden/Harris were worth the effort?

ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE
Where there is 1 sleeper cell there are others.
If this is real not mid term hype.
Then DC swamp better cover its assets big time.

QUESTION:
How long before the Biden DOJ & MSM tries to blame TRUMP for this ?

NN,

The question is often asked as to why the WWII allies never tried to kill A Certain Austrian Corporal, and never gave all that much assistance to those in Germany who did try.

The answer has and can always be distilled down to one thing: the possibility that they might be replaced by someone competent.

They stayed away from Biden and Harris because they know no matter what they did, the worst result would be a couple of ineffective airstrikes and the White House kissing their backsides again in a few months for a new nuclear deal. But if you actually whacked the top of the food chain, somebody might get in there who says, 'Enough."*

Mike

*IMHO - YMMV, of course - Nancy Pelosi would avoid the Presidency like Dracula avoids Holy Water.

As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

#11 Idle speculation: these guys are actually Mossad. They infiltrated Pakistan's ISI but in order to maintain their cover, they had to infiltrate Homeland Security, which appears to be like having the weekend off.

#12 It is a concern that the real agents were taking free rent from these possibly Iranian agents. Not sure why the Iranians would benefit from infiltrating the Biden regime. That would be like Walmart sending agents to infiltrate Sam's Club. It's the same payroll. Looks like we are missing 2/3rds of the puzzle which means we will never hear of it again.

#16 #3 I wonder how many more fake cops and fake bureaucrats are about these days.

I've reach the point where I think there's only about 3-5 people in each department of the government that do ALL the actual work. The rest are just there to grift money and get party invites.
