Oops! MS Now Faceplants!… Far Left Loons Report Kash Patel Has Landed in Russia for Mysterious Talks -Except That He’s at Liberty University

MS Now is as dependable today as they always were.

On Wednesday, the far-left network reported that Kash Patel had landed in Russia for mysterious talks.

Top MS Now justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian broke the breathtaking news this afternoon in a MS Now breaking report.

Ken Dilanian: “We don’t know what Kash Patel is doing in Russia. And that’s one of things that is concerning our FBI sources. They don’t know either. The FBI is not saying anything about this. I asked them for a comment on our reporting. They have not gotten back to me. What we know is there’s a two-day trip scheduled. He’s going to Moscow and St. Petersburg… It has not happened since 2018 when Robert Mueller went to Russia to talk about counter-terrorism cooperation.”

But the surprise was on the loons at MS Now.

The FBI this afternoon released photos of Kash Patel at Liberty University.

Unfortunately for MS Now, the FBI posted photos of Director Kash Patel at Liberty University.

FBI Arrests OpenAI Engineer Over a Hidden Listening Device

OpenAI builds technology that answers complicated questions. Yet federal investigators say one of its engineers tried to get answers by secretly listening to executives. The alleged equipment was a recording device plugged into a television inside a restricted conference room in San Francisco.

For a company developing some of America’s most valuable technology, that’s a chilling failure.

From the DOJ:

“According to the complaint unsealed today, Abdulrahman Alfozan allegedly concealed a covert recording device inside his employer’s executive conference room to secretly capture sensitive communications about the company’s super intelligence technology,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Protecting American SI innovation is essential to safeguarding our nation’s economic strength and national security, and the FBI views that mission as one of our highest counterintelligence priorities. Thank you to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and our law enforcement partners for their support — and we will continue working closely with our partners across the U.S. government and private sector to keep American businesses and citizens safe and to ensure our country maintains its competitive edge.”

The FBI arrested Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old Saudi national, on October 9. Prosecutors unsealed a criminal complaint Tuesday charging him with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications. He had worked at OpenAI since July 2025. The company has since fired him, and federal investigators are examining his alleged activities.

OpenAI personnel discovered the device on September 30, connected to a USB port behind a television. Someone had concealed it in toilet paper, and its stored contents were encrypted. Investigators believe someone installed it around September 28. The room regularly hosted discussions of proprietary research, future products, business arrangements, government contacts, and technical progress OpenAI hadn’t disclosed publicly.

So the FBI Did Another Big Raid You Might Have Missed…

Did you hear the one about the FBI investigation in the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners that caught one of them with his hand in the cookie jar of his own nonprofit?

It’s no joke, but it’s one of those stories of Democrat corruption that somehow [cough, cough] got lost in the shuffle. Let’s bring a little sunshine to it, shall we?

Three years ago, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott appointed longtime social worker and behavioral-health entrepreneur Mujahid Muhammad to the city’s Board of School Commissioners. His primary organization, KEYS — Keep Encouraging Youth to Succeed — since 2009 purportedly was involved it counseling, youth recreation, senior services, workforce training, and “culinary therapy”—using grocery deliveries and cooking lessons with families needing mental-health support.

KEYS took a kind of unconventional approach I’d usually think was noteworthy for all the right reasons.

Purportedly.

Project Baltimore reported last week that it “has been digging into KEYS Empowers financials and found that in federal filings, KEYS reports paying out over $400,000 in salaries to zero employees.”

Then there’s this from the Baltimore Banner: “A nonprofit called KEYS Empowers Inc. that lists the same address as its headquarters and Muhammad as the executive director reported receiving more than $4.7 million in government funds for the 2023 and 2024 tax years, tax filings show. That money made up the entirety of KEYS Empowers revenue for those years.”

US Seizes 7 Domains Used By China-Linked Hackers To Target Critical Infrastructure

The Justice Department and FBI announced on Oct. 8 that they had seized seven internet domains used by Chinese state-linked hackers to target critical infrastructure and other computer networks in the United States and overseas.

The seizures targeted two hacking tools allegedly operated by cyber actors working for Integrity Technology Group, a Beijing-based cybersecurity company with Chinese regime contracts.

The tools were used to identify security weaknesses, gain unauthorized access to computer networks, and steal information, according to the Justice Department.

In a joint cybersecurity advisory released the same day, U.S. and allied agencies warned that Chinese regime-linked hackers enabled by Integrity Tech had combined automated scanning, large networks of compromised devices, and targeted intrusions to steal sensitive information from organizations worldwide, including U.S. critical infrastructure operators.

A federal magistrate judge in Pennsylvania approved the seizure warrant on Oct. 6, authorizing the domains to be redirected to FBI-controlled servers.

The Justice Department has not announced criminal charges against Integrity Tech or identified individual defendants in connection with the seizures.

The operation marks the second public U.S. disruption of Integrity Tech’s hacking infrastructure in two years.

In September 2024, the FBI dismantled a network of more than 200,000 infected internet-connected devices, including home routers and cameras, that investigators said were used to conduct cyber operations.

However, a newly unsealed FBI affidavit indicates that tools linked to Integrity Tech remained accessible afterward.

Investigators found a server hosting one hacking tool in March 2026 and confirmed that a login page for another was still accessible in September.

“The PRC relies on contractor and enabling companies to expand the reach and scale of its malicious cyber activity,” said Brett Leatherman, assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division, referring to the People’s Republic of China.

“By exposing and disrupting these enablers, we make it harder for the PRC to target American networks and infrastructure.”

Another ISIS Sympathizer in Tim Walz’s Minnesota: FBI Arrests an 18-Year-Old Somali Suspect at Gunpoint After Plotting a Mass-Casualty Attack at Mall of America

Federal agents arrested Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud at gunpoint in the Twin Cities after he allegedly took possession of a rifle and ammunition he intended to use in a terrorist attack at the Mall of America.

According to Alpha News, which covered a U.S. Attorney announcement of a significant counterterrorism action in Minnesota on Wednesday, federal authorities have charged Mohamud with plotting a mass-casualty attack in support of ISIS at the Mall of America later this month. He allegedly hoped to kill “30 to 60 people.”

Reports of the federal case identify Mohamud as an 18-year-old Somali “American.”

The criminal complaint and 23-page affidavit of FBI Special Agent Keegan Rupenthal were unsealed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Minnesota.

Mohamud is charged under 18 U.S.C. § 924(h) with knowingly receiving a firearm and ammunition on or about October 6, 2026, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe they would be used to commit a felony and a federal crime of terrorism, including providing, attempting to provide, and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization.

The weapon listed in the complaint is a Norinco AK-47, model Mac-90 Sporter, serial number 94145360, plus roughly 200 live rounds of 7.62×39 ammunition. The FBI rendered the rifle inert before the handoff. The ammunition was live. He never got the chance to use either.

According to the affidavit, the Minneapolis Joint Terrorism Task Force opened the case in December 2024 after Mohamud began trading hundreds of messages with a confidential human source on Telegram, Signal, Discord, TikTok, and later SimpleX. Handles included “@misterdoon,” “Mister Miser,” “mistermister,” “misterman240,” and a Discord account named “baaqiyah_31485,” “baaqiyah” being an ISIS slogan meaning the caliphate remains.

FBI Arrests Washington “Trans Woman” Accused of Helping Plot the Canadian School Shooting — Sent Cash, Tactical Advice, and Watched the Livestream as Children Were Shot

The FBI arrested a 30-year-old Bellingham, Washington resident on Tuesday and charged him with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country for allegedly coaching, funding, and agreeing to broadcast the February 10 slaughter at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia, the attack that left 8 people dead, including 5 children.

James Cody Bryant was taken into custody in Bellingham and appeared in federal court in Seattle.

The charge carries a maximum sentence of life in federal prison.

According to the Department of Justice announcement and the accompanying 41-page FBI criminal complaint, Bryant allegedly maintained extensive communications with 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar during the six months before the February 10 massacre.

Both Bryant and Van Rootselaar were born male and identified as transgender women, according to police and federal officials.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in February that Van Rootselaar was “born a biological male” who began identifying as female about six years earlier.

On Tuesday, U.S. officials said they understood Bryant was also born male and identified as female.

Newly-Released Documents Reveal Biden’s FBI Tracked Melania and Barron Trump’s Travel

Newly-released documents revealed Biden’s FBI tracked Melania Trump and Barron Trump’s travel.

The probe, dubbed “Plasmic Echo,” was later led by disgraced Special Counsel Jack Smith during the classified documents investigation.

Fox News reported:

The Biden-era FBI tracked First Lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump’s travel, while surveilling President Trump’s future Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone, as officials worked the classified documents investigation reaching deep into Trump’s inner circle, newly declassified records show.

Documents released Monday by the White House detail “Plasmic Echo,” the probe later led by special counsel Jack Smith into whether Trump improperly retained classified documents after leaving office.

The declassified documents show agents tracked the First Lady and First Son’s travel while planning the Mar-a-Lago search, then monitored Susie Wiles’ calls involving defense lawyers, campaign advisers and journalists.

The surveillance collected call details rather than conversation contents, according to the documents.

“Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power. Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple,” White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. “Those responsible must be held accountable.”

Earlier Monday it was reported that Jack Smith’s team secretly monitored the phone activity of Susie Wiles while she was running President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign,

The investigation swept up Susie Wiles’ contacts with at least 21 Trump-affiliated defense lawyers, campaign staff, political advisers, and at least five journalists. Most names are redacted. Two are not: current FBI Director Kash Patel, and Just the News founder John Solomon.

Earlier this year, The Gateway Pundit reported that Biden’s FBI secretly obtained the phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023, while both were private citizens, and buried the files in “prohibited” case folders designed to hide them from ordinary searches. Patel called it “outrageous and deeply alarming.”

FBI Arrests Alleged Chinese Foreign Agent at LAX as She Attempts to Board Flight to Shanghai — Accused of Surveilling Taiwanese President’s Son and Family for CCP

Federal agents arrested an alleged Chinese foreign agent at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday as she was preparing to leave the United States for Communist China.

Wanying “Heather” Zhang, 34, of Irvine, California, was taken into custody by the FBI at LAX and charged in a federal criminal complaint with acting as an agent of the People’s Republic of China without notifying the U.S. Attorney General.

Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli announced the arrest on Sunday, saying Zhang was caught attempting to depart for China.

“We just arrested a Chinese foreign agent at LAX attempting to depart for China,” Essayli announced on his official X account. 

According to Essayli, Zhang allegedly traveled to Seattle in 2025 at the direction of PRC officials and conducted surveillance on a close relative of a Taiwanese government official.

New FBI Records Obtained by Judicial Watch Reveal Thomas Crooks’ Mysterious Chat Thread with Unidentified Person and Drone Pictures

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained 249 pages of FBI records related to attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks.

Thomas Crooks was able to climb on the roof of the AGR building, put President Trump in his scope from an elevated position, and fire his weapon at Trump on July 13, 2024.

President Trump was shot in the ear, and firefighter Corey Comperatore was fatally shot.

A countersniper killed Crooks.

It has been more than two years since the attempted assassination in Butler and the FBI is still withholding documents from the public.

Last month, President Trump said by the time he got into office in January 2025, the Thomas Crooks records were missing, altered or corrupted.

Judicial Watch obtained drone photos taken of a Pittsburgh area arena and a mysterious chat threat between Thomas Crooks and an unidentified individual.

Crooks also received a package delivery from Hong Kong.

Judicial Watch reported:

An FBI electronic communication dated July 19, 2024, concerns a cell phone conversation in the Crooks investigation described as a “chat thread” between Crooks and a recipient whose name is redacted. The conversation occurred between May 21, 2023, and January 3, 2024.

The outgoing messages consist largely of one- and two-word messages or character strings, including:

Hello
Hello red
Hello red
Hdudhdbdbbd
7888ejdj
Yolo
Ddodjjf
890
Hdjd
Djdj

Yup red
Hello
Jhhhuuh
Hhdj
Jjjjjjjjjjjj
Hello red
Red red …

The incoming messages are completely redacted from this text chain.

A report titled “Samsung Messaging Review” is dated July 18, 2024, and details the FBI’s identification of other communications on a Crooks cell phone as “pertinent” to its investigation. FBI agents noted:

Conversation with unknown contact [redacted] 8 February 2023 to 10 February 2023;
Conversations with [redacted] 9 January 2023 to 16 January 2023;
Conversations with [redacted] 12 December 2022 to 26 December 2022.

The FBI also noted text messages consisting of campaign solicitations from then-U.S. Senate candidate Raphael Warnock and DHL shipment notifications from Hong Kong.

“These latest records reveal more pieces of the puzzle surrounding Thomas Crooks,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The FBI should stop the slow drip of heavily redacted records and immediately provide the full investigative record – especially since the death last week of James Copenhaver, who was severely injured from being shot during the assassination attempt on President Turmp.”

A Texas man accused of planning to shoot up the state Capitol was booked before dawn Wednesday and, according to county jail records, walked out on a $75,000 bond before most of Austin had finished coffee.

Benny Caldera Jr., 40, of Converse, northeast of San Antonio, was taken from his home around 3 a.m. Wednesday by Texas Department of Public Safety SWAT after DPS received a tip Tuesday about a violent attack planned for Thursday, October 1.

He was charged with felony terroristic threat against a public servant and hauled to the Bexar County Jail.

According to the Washington Examiner, jail records showed him released on that $75,000 bond just before 7 a.m., roughly four hours after the raid, and was placed on pretrial supervision.
