Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, and Special Agent in Charge Thomas J. Sobocinski, of the FBI Baltimore Field Office, announced Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Clendaniel spoke to an FBI informant about her plan just last week, according to authorities. Russell is an alleged neo-Nazi figure who authorities say posted locations of substations.<\/p>\n<p>Clendaniel allegedly told an FBI confidential source that she planned to target five substations&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/fbi-arrests-man-woman-extremist-views-alleged-power-grid-attack-plot-targeting-5-substations\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Russell is described as a neo-Nazi intent on exercising his &#8220;racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist beliefs.&#8221; His co-terrorist, Clendaniel was in a Maryland prison for robbing convenience stores with a machete. There is no connection with prior power grid attacks, according to Sobocinski. It may even be true; pity there&#8217;s zero credibility at the agency.<\/p>\n<p>Hat tip to Mick&#8217;s instincts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Targeted Mick sent us an article about an attack on a power station out in Oregon &hellip; <a title=\"Domestic Terror\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=136853\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Domestic Terror<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,423,603],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-136853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime","category-home-grown-terror","category-stupid-criminals"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=136853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136853\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=136853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=136853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=136853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
