Scare quotes mine. The man is a consummate idiot in almost all the ways a man can be an idiot in these troubled times. And on top of it he is going to be unfairly jailed for the thing he didn’t do instead of fairly jailed for the thing he failed to accomplish.

A military veteran accused of telling an undercover FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...

#4  That anti-Israel line of reasoning always seems tightly controlled to me. Are the people who want the Jews removed Ok with removing the Arabs from Egypt and returning it to the Coptic people? What about returning Constantinople to the Greeks? No they are not for that. Nor are they for freeing Tibet. It is just the same old evil with a new promo code.

#3  Why is that weird? The purpose of Israel is both as a first choice and a last resort. From a Jewish perspective, we define ourselves as anyone with a Jewish mother who has not converted to another faith (except that the most liberal branch, the Reform Jews, equally accept passing the faith down through a Jewish father), or anyone who has converted under the supervision of a certified rabbi. But in 1948 the founders had just watched their cousins — defined as Jewish by the one-grandparent rule despite having been Christian for generations — killed just as dead as if they kept glatt kosher and prayed in the synagogue three times a day. So of course they agreed to be a refuge for those cousins as well as the ones who clove to the faith.

Some of the Soviet Jews who arrived in Israel in the 1980s and since fall into that category. Many of them left after a while, finding themselves unable to fit into the Jewish nation, even though many Israelis are not actively religious.

#2  Then there is the definition the Original Nazis used, back when my mother was a girl: anyone who had one ethnically Jewish grandparent, regardless of the grandparent’s faith.

Weird...Israel has the same viewpoint. The Law of Return of 1950 allows any Jew, which means anyone with one Jewish grandparent, the right to move to Israel and automatically become citizens of Israel.

#1  He was guaranteed a jury trial. Seems like waiving it was a mistake. Like Quanon Shaman not many would defend him because of his views, but there doesn’t seem to be much of a case against him.
