There’s a status hearing in the federal criminal proceedings of USA V. CANTWELL shortly. I’ll post whatever comes out of the hearing but here’s some background ...
Christopher Cantwell is a resident of Keene, NH, a podcaster and a self-proclaimed Nazi. He was involved in the 2017 Unite the Right rally, and served time for two counts of misdemeanor assault as a result. But there’s more ...
Back on January 23, 2020, Cantwell was arrested by the FBI at his Keene, NH residence and charged with extortion over interstate communications and making threatening interstate communications.
The story of who he threatened, why, and how he got caught is a tale so complex and absurd it could — quite literally — only have happened to him.
Long story short: this self proclaimed Nazi whose favorite hobby was using the internet to harass people for fun got harassed himself and COULD NOT HANDLE IT.
So he fought back by threatening to rape someone’s wife but he also wanted the cops to intervene because while he loves being the tough guy he is literally the least tough guy of all.
Anyway, he begged the cops to help him by thwarting his enemies’ attempts to mess with him. And in doings so he also TOLD THE COPS ABOUT THE RAPE THREAT HE DID HIMSELF.
And well, now he’s charged with doing that. When he was arrested by the feds, they found seventeen — SEVENTEEN — guns in his possession. And steroids!
And since then he has been detained, despite trying not to be. Not sure what today’s hearing is about. Maybe nothing too important. We shall see.

Anyway, more TK.
So, it's over, and here's the news: The trial has been pushed off, once again, until August. A bail hearing is being scheduled for next week. And the government anticipates adding two additional charges, once they can convene a grand jury.
