Hoooooo boy.
More from Fox News:
Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.
A 'second wave' was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.
Like Director Patel said, the FBI became aware of the plot on June 10. The agency quickly secured an arrest warrant for one person in Cincinnati.
That led agents to a Signal chat group with 23 members that was discussing plans to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, to finalize the plan two days before the June 14 UFC event at the White House.
The FBI hasn't released details about the suspects, but it doesn't seem like they are the "Allahu Akbar" type.
One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target 'capitalist elites,' 'billionaires' or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
We'll have to wait for the details about these Marxist revolutionaries.
Did they actually have the brains and the means to circumvent the president's security?
(You laugh, but it's happened several times in the past few years.)
How were they planning to get ahold of explosives and get past drone-jamming tech around the White House?
Are they a bunch of dumb Antifa neckbeards who have watched too many spy movies?
Stay tuned for more!
