Coast Guard White Supremacist Could Be Released

Baltimore’s NBC affiliate reports:

Christopher Hasson, 49, of Silver Spring, a self-described white nationalist, was arrested Feb. 15 at his Coast Guard office in Washington. He was charged with gun violations and illegal drug possession.

A federal grand jury indicted Hasson today on federal charges for unlawful possession of silencers, for possession of firearms by a drug addict and unlawful user and for possession of a controlled substance.

No terror-related charges were added. Federal prosecutors labeled Hasson a “domestic terrorist” when he was arrested. The judge could decide to release Hasson if the case doesn’t begin to reflect terrorism-related charges.

Law & Crime reports:

The original complaint against him featured disturbing allegations. Prosecutors called him a “domestic terrorist” who ranted about “liberalist/globalist ideology,” and wanted a homeland for white people.

Several of his internet searches suggested that Hasson intended to target some of the “most liberal senators,” as well as “supreme court justices” and “joe scarborough.”

Hasson also allegedly composed a spreadsheet on January 17 of this year with a detailed collection of targets identified as “traitors” which the government describes as “prominent Democratic Congressional leaders, activists, political organizations, and MSNBC and CNN media personalities.”
