TOBIN is interviewed by law enforcement in late October. In his interviews, he names two co-conspirators as having vandalized synagogues in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but he is mistaken and meant to say Michigan.pic.twitter.com/kAKQq3jXaB

From TOBIN's statements, investigators are able to locate TB member BARASNEH and reference Operation Kristallnacht and the "Great Lakes Cell" in his complaint, two specific phrases that appear in TOBIN's complaint.pic.twitter.com/9knZDNhD5M

The short version is this: The November meetup/training session by The Base was infiltrated by the Feds. So they're all fucked. I expect there will be more arrests. The named Co-Conspirator in the Michigan vandalism incident hasn't been publicly named or an arrest announced.

I'd also not be shocked if some The Base members commit or attempt to commit an attack soon, out of desperation, given the breadth of the ongoing crackdown.

More details. Feds knew about a Wisconsin training event in July, and pulled all cell phone numbers pinging off towers near the shooting range.pic.twitter.com/HrxTnghV12
