Now his muslim brothers and muslim sisters are gonna play the victim card on his behalf.

[KingDerek]

He just so happened to be arrested trying to leave the country the day before the assassination attempt where the secret service completely dropped the ball. Imagine that.

[zslyquf]

How did he get into the country? Across the Open Border?

[shaffilosblanc]

So what happend to the Blackrock guy ? Uhmm

[TheCarterKent]

....wait! I thought it was government policy to let the perps get off the 1st round at Trump before interfering.

[aanakrukavi]

Now Pakistanis will say they are Indians similar to to after 9/11 attack

[jpandyaraja]

Pakistans economy is in tatters, but old habits die hard. The country should be put back on sanctions list

Looks like a deflection by Garland cooked up in Department of Justice kitchen.

I wouldn't trust Merrick Garland to take care of a house plant.

distraction of the public attention to the real plot in Butler

US Gov provides billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan. This is how they spend it!

Ask any veteran who fought in Afghanistan and let them tell you the role of Pakistan in helping Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS.

[nickscarter]

Their should be no mercy for this guy !

[peterslinger]

Looks like a younger Sadiq Khan. Same mindset too, obviously

[ritaandujar]

Could he be a scapegoat for this current

[gluejay]

Most of the Pakistanis around the world will say "Americans are spreading lies" 😆🤣😆

[igi]

Unlucky guy ... While turning the stone upside down randomly he happen to be there under the rock.

[peterslinger]

You must ask why the YS supprts Pakistan with so much aid. Pakustan are at best duplicitous. For years they kept the Afghan conflict continuing precisely for US aid. If it does end, there will be terrorist acts again, just like this.

[ncampos]

Some things smell fishy!! Thomas Crooks is strange 😂😂

[rajaaliyan]

So they got a fall guy who just so happens to be from a Muslim country that's just great.

[vijayd]

US should take action against pakistan😅... investigate along with us😂...like canada😅
