The FBI raided the home of 37-year-old Aaron Whallon-Wolkind, the vice president of the far-right group Proud Boys’ chapter in Philadelphia, last week, according to a new court filing in the criminal case of Philadelphia Proud Boys president Zach Rehl.
Agents “moved a single chair in the middle of a room like an interrogation scene from a war movie” in Whallon-Wolkind’s home to “interrogate” the extremist, Moseley wrote, but he refused to speak without advice from an attorney. The feds left with the seized materials.
That’s generally what a raid is, folks. But now they have the evidence, so I hope this guy has a gofundme up and running to pay for this Captain Obvious-style attorney.
The Blutfahne (pronounced [bluːtˈfaːnə]), or Blood Flag , is a Nazi Partyswastika flag that was carried during the attempted coup d’etat Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, Germany on 9 November 1923, during which it became soaked in the blood of one of the SA men who died. It subsequently became one of the most revered objects of the NSDAP. It was used in ceremonies in which new flags for party organizations were consecrated by the Blood Flag when touched by it.
Not necessarily. “Parallel construction”, where the prosecution seeks to find alternative proof of evidence so they don’t have to reveal an informant, or national secret, or spying capability, is a thing.
