Yesterday, I [Turley] was notified by the Justice Department confirming that a recent swatting indictment includes the person or persons responsible for my own swatting a year ago. One of the defendants, Thomasz Szabo, was arrested a couple weeks ago.

The indictment below charges two foreign nationals: Thomasz Szabo, 26, of Romania, and Nemanja Radovanovic, 21, of Serbia.

Szabo and Radovanovic are each charged with one count of conspiracy, 29 counts of threats and false information regarding explosives, and four counts of transmitting threats in interstate and foreign commerce.

Their alleged conspiracy began as early as December 2020. It continued through January 2024, using personal identifying information, including home addresses, to falsely report emergencies to provoke a police response at the victim’s home. According to the Justice Department, they used various monikers to communicate. Szabo used “Jonah,” “Jonah Goldberg,” “Plank,” “Rambler,” “War Lord,” “Shovel,” “Cypher,” “Kollectivist,” “Mortenberg Shekelstorms,” and “NotThuggin2”. Radovanovic used “XBD31,” “XDR,” “Angus,” “Thuggin,” “Thug Hunter,” “NotThuggin,” “DCL,” and “AOD.”

The indictment alleges that their crimes encompassed 40 private victims and 61 official victims, including members of Congress, cabinet-level executive branch officials, and senior federal law enforcement officials. It also included four businesses, four religious institutions, and one victim university.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Jack Posobiec, conservative political commentator and editor of Human Events made a comment yesterday that the people who had swatted his parents had been indicted. I assume he was referring to this indictment.

Swatting is a leftist tactic and is often done by ANTIFA members, or foreigners trying to cause chaos. (I sometimes wonder how many of them are CIA cut-outs?)

MTG's home has been swatted numerous times. People have been killed due to swatting raids. Those arrested, once found guilty, need to be sentenced to life in prison and prevented from ever accessing a computer again. (I'd prefer a death sentence as a deterrent but I guess that's not likely to happen).
