FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday that his agency thwarted an attack plan at President Donald Trump’s UFC event in Washington, DC.

The event, UFC Freedom 250, took place on the White House lawn Sunday night. In a statement published Tuesday morning, Patel revealed the FBI uncovered Signal chats involving 23 people who were allegedly engaged in “discussing pre-operational activity.”. The statement continued:

On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.

While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens – particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here. I want to thank our great agents and partners, this work remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public as permitted.

Sure Jan.

[gab13by13]

1. I believe nothing that comes from this administration.

[NCDem47]

9. This Admin has motive to position itself as constantly under attack...

...to ultimately shut down free speech and civil liberties under the guise of "restoring" order.

I bet Obama had MULTIPLE daily threats and thwarted attempts, but didn't go out of its way to create a police state to stop them.

[Jilly_in_VA]

2. Why did I read this sentence

"While the result represented the best of imanginative work..." etc.? Seems fitting for Kross-Eyed Kash and his Keystone Kops.

[Jerry2144]

28. You really can't trust Mr Mortgage Eyes*

* one fixed, the other variable

[MorbidButterflyTat]

54. Clever!

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Why would they forego an opportunity to raise the flag for a photo op?

Makes no sense.

[mwmisses4289]

[flvegan]

5. Sure, Jan. n/t

[ChicagoTeamster]

6. Really? Did they get the drone or detonate it? Any debris? Source? Manufacturer?

Did they trace signal to pilot? Any suspects? Details? Ka$h is always so full of it.

[ChicagoTeamster]

43. Supposedly it's teens from Ohio, explosive drones, snipers shooting at attendees when they leave, and storming the gates

[Deminpenn]

47. Local news reports a 19 yr old from a county

just north of Columbus is in custody.

[2naSalit]

7. Sure Jan... nt

[Ritabert]

13. Exactly what I was thinking.

[doc03]

8. Why of course, Trump said he feared a drone attack, so Kash delivered. He needs

a fortified ballroom, you know.

[orangecrush]

21. This

[Mr. Evil]

10. I don't believe anything from that whack-eyed lowlife.

Fuck him! And, anyone else in this shit-infested regime.

[wnylib]

11. Another crock of s**t from the fascist regime.

[Ritabert]

[Harker]

17. I would've thought Patel was "warming up" in the locker room.

[GB_RN]

18. Independent Video Verification...

Or it didn’t happen, Kashyap: Your booze-induced hallucinations are getting out of hand.

[Wonder Why]

19. Pete Hogsbreath of DoD did what? No, Pete, you can't bomb the UFC and its president into oblivion just to keep your job.

[dave99]

20. Bull !

[mdbl]

22. Blah blah blah - Kash took a break from investigating states voting systems to make this crap up

No one cares, in case he hasn't noticed.

[orangecrush]

23. Dangerous fascist bullshit

[purr-rat beauty]

24. No evidence, no verification

No drone

How bout this then...

...trump shouldn't do what he just did and the threat drops significantly

[Midnight Writer]

25. Thank God for Ka$h!

[walkingman]

26. Lies, lies, and more lies

[hadEnuf]

27. BS

That is all.

[odins folly]

29. Five bucks to any media source

That starts asking for specifics about arrests, capture or ANYTHING related to this bs.

I’m sure judge wine box will be up next yammering on about grand jury indictments…..

[StarryNite]

30. offs

Nobody believes his bullshit.

[randr]

31. If only they could arrest the one responsible for Jan6

[AverageOldGuy]

32. Were Kash Bar's lips moving when he said that?

Because if his lips are moving . . . . . well, you know the rest.

[Lochloosa]

33. Signal chats involving 23 people?

In what universe would that many people be involved in planning an attack involving the POTUS use Signal Chats?

Do these people think we are really that stupid? Oh, wait......

[riversedge]

34. "Five people were taken into custody as of Monday."...........

I wonder if there were any witnesses to this?? -other than the 'officers"??

The second stage involved a storming of the White House gates. Five people were taken into custody as of Monday.

[Ocelot II]

35. Gotta get that ballroom built ASAP on account of explosive drones!

Will UFC cage matches then be held inside the ballroom? Will there be room for The Claw?

[IcyPeas]

36. What is this? The 4th assassination attempt.

I get the feeling some people dont like trump!!

[City Lights]

37. Smells like trumpshit...nt

[Martin68]

38. Bullshit!

[Dawson Leery]

39. Lies.

[pat_k]

40. Any bets this "plot" was a stupid kid with no means or intent who posted "wouldn't it be cool if..."?

And now he and every idiot who replied with a thumbs up is in custody.

[Shipwack]

41. First thing I thought of.

Especially since the plan was in “pre-operational stages”, i.e. just talking.

[JoseBalow]

42. Cool story bro

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. Uh huh

Kashyap Patel is trying very hard to please his orange boss.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

45. LOL, sure.

[mike_c]

46. curses....

Foiled again!

[IbogaProject]

48. Dupe took the FBI bait

Many of these blocked 'terror' things are borderline low functioning individuals or small groups that are almost pulled into the scheme.

[Bengus81]

49. FAKE NEWS!!

[rogue emissary]

50. After they announced the thwarted attack.

Felon34 said he hadn't heard about it.

Crazy days after the event and Patel didn't inform him.

?is=A5rmdRC5BE9L7az8

[pfitz59]

51. Believe nothing

Lying shits

[tonekat]

52. Heard this BS on NPR in the Car

Sounds like drama invented to take away more rights from Americans.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

53. OFFS!!

That horse died about half a dozen assassination attempts ago, quit beating it.

Nobody fucking cares.

Stick your alleged "eyes" back in your stupid worthless fat head.
