In a court motion filed on Sunday in the federal case against Eichorn, prosecutors have asked for the 40-year-old to remain jailed after he was set to be released to a halfway house this week, saying he "poses a serious risk of flight" and if he was released "will attempt to obstruct justice."
The filing alleges that Eichorn orchestrated an effort to retrieve a laptop from his St. Paul apartment "to deprive investigators of the opportunity to examine it." Prosecutors also accuse Eichorn of having an iPhone connected to the laptop and found it in a "factory reset" condition, suggesting that someone with access to the phone attempted to wipe it.
Furthermore, during pretrial proceedings, Eichorn claimed he didn't have any firearms in the St. Paul apartment where he stayed when the Minnesota Legislature was in session. However, a search of the apartment allegedly turned up a handgun with ammunition, the aforementioned laptop and iPhone, a memory card, and $1,000 in cash.
The filing further alleges that Eichorn had an unnamed woman go to his apartment in St. Paul just before 10 a.m. the day after his arrest, where she ran into two FBI agents stationed to "freeze the scene." The agents denied entry to the woman, who claimed she needed a laptop inside that she used for her business. She was denied again and left the scene.
"On the basis of these new and material facts, the government submits that the Court should reopen the detention hearing and order Eichorn detained. Eichorn’s post-arrest conduct, including his lie to pretrial services concerning his possession of a gun, make clear that he does not intend to be truthful or to respect legal process. Instead, his conduct strongly suggests a willingness – and actual steps taken – to frustrate the ongoing child-sex investigation into his conduct," court documents state.
I'm guessing that wasn't his wife going into the apartment. Just a hunch. Okay, that's enough for those guys with good old fashioned family values. Let the Feds take it from here, although I'm sure President Felon will attempt to pardon him since he's one of the true-believer faithful.
And if that was not enough: this just in from the Hillary Clinton: You Must Be Kidding Me! department...
The barely functional DoD hosted an unsecured group chat to lay out their plans for Yemen and the Houthi, and managed to include The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Today, ABC News reported:
White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes shared with ABC News the statement he provided to The Atlantic confirming the veracity of a Signal group chat, which Goldberg said appeared to include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, White House national security adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, among others.
"At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain. The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials. The ongoing success of the Houthi operation demonstrates that there were no threats to our service members or our national security," Hughes said in the statement.
Sounds like amateur hour to me. Nothing says National Security like an unsecured text exchange. How can these people NOT know better? Or is it that they don't care who hears what the plan is...or who is intercepting their texts? I don't think these guys are talking about which MAGA dolls put out on the first date....although I imagine that might come up....but one would hope matters of military importance would be treated with more gravitas than that. Or not. Look, if you hire the least competent people on the planet to do highly classified operations and they don't even begin to know how to classify an operation, you simply have to expect the loose-lips mode of warfare.

And that should surprise no one. Keeping classified documents in a safe and secure location was never much of a priority for President Felon. Add to that the recent set of instructions given to those still at USAID to shred and burn documents merely contributes to the idea that nothing is sacred or secret. On March 11, 2025, as reported by NBC NEWS and multiple other outlets:
The document destruction was set to take place Tuesday, according to an email from Erica Carr, the agency’s acting executive secretary. It is unclear how many people received the email, which thanked workers for their “assistance in clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”
“Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,” Carr wrote.
Reminds me of the Nixon days. No matter how you want to color this picture, it's bleak. This is not supposed to be how our government works. The question, however, remains whether or not We, the People will stand idly by while it happens.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I saw OCTOBER 8th on Sunday night. If you haven't seen it, you should. It is as much about the actual pogrom on October 7th, using footage taken by Hamas terrorists to give the audience a very clear view of what was happening, along with testimony of survivors . But that's a small part of the firm. The documentary lays out a specific timeline of corresponding events taking place in the United States. The overwhelming hatred spewed at Jewish students is something most of us have only read about in Holocaust stories. It's hard to argue with vetted footage about the encampments, the signs, and the protests.
I had two reactions to the film that I think are worth mentioning. First, the filmmakers do not frame the film with the reality that we are not the colonizers in Israel, that Jewish presence goes back with indisputable physical evidence for over 3000 years. They never point out that Jews have been home in the same land, observed the same religion, and spoke ostensibly the same language all that time. We are indigenous to the land, not colonizers. That piece, missing from the narrative, was problematic for me.
The second reaction was the relief in hearing someone actually call out the pro-Palestinian movement for systematically revising the narrative to paint themselves as victims and Israel as in instigating aggressor, as if Israel attacked them, not the other way around. We know this, but the vastness of the coverage promotes the idea that Israel is completely and solely responsible for the deaths in Gaza. Had they returned the hostages, the war would've been over long ago.
Watch the trailer. Then go see it.
