I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Aside from asking/taking Ms. Taer's picture, which I thought odd, I think Mr. Buttigieg's response appropriate.

That reporter is scary. I'd take her picture to give it to security.

A member of the public who is a bit "star struck" or similar after putting her normal life aside to participate in a very important grand jury involving very famous people.  She's funny.  The people recommended for indictment probably find her news scary.

Since she talked to her boyfriend about what was going on during the grand jury proceedings,  her best bet would be to shut up and get a lawyer.

I notice you didn't provide a citation about her speaking to her boyfriend... are you referencing this quote from Yahoo News?

Quote

In the interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Ms Kohrs said the gravity of the special grand jury's work wasn't lost on her. "I told my boyfriend at one point during the proceeding, during all this, I came home and I told him - Do you know that if I was in a room with Donald Trump and Joseph Biden and they knew who I was, they would both want to speak to me.”

She also described the experience of being on the special grand jury as "really cool".

Why would she need a lawyer?

Talk about partisan politics by the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.  Expect that MSM will sue for equal access... should be released online for access by ALL Americans.  Think some AN members would like to view this footage without biased coverage.

Speaker McCarthy Gives Tucker Carlson 41,000 Hours Of Jan. 6 Footage

The Hill:  McCarthy gives Fox News's Tucker Carlson access to Jan. 6 Capitol surveillance footage

 

 

Why would MSM sue, when they could simply ask for it like Carlson did?

Is that what right wing media is saying happened... that the propagandist was the only individual or media voice who expressed interest in the tapes? And you accept that?

January 6th tapes were released by Speaker McCarthy as part of deal for him to become speaker --request spearheaded by Rep. Matt Gaetz.

McCarthy defends release of January 6 footage to Tucker Carlson: 'I promised'

Quote

 

...McCarthy — who has already been fundraising on the move — did indeed promise to release the footage as part of his bid to become speaker, and it was something Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz had specifically been demanding. In fact, it was on a lengthy list of demands that Gaetz walked into McCarthy's office with on the Monday night before the speaker's vote, according to a GOP source familiar with the list.

But the list did not say the footage needs to go to Carlson — that was decided later.

 

McCarthy gives Tucker Carlson access to trove of Jan. 6 riot tape

Between the lines: The process with Carlson started in early February, according to a communication between the show and a McCarthy representative that I was shown.

Flashback: McCarthy told reporters in Statuary Hall last month that he thinks "the American public should actually see all [that] happened instead of a report that's written [on] a political basis."

Biggest issue with this move: security and movement of Congress and VP documented during event being exposed.

McCarthy gives Tucker Carlson access to January 6 Capitol security footage, sources say

Quote

...The now-defunct January 6 committee got access to all the security footage from US Capitol Police during its investigation, but did not release certain clips for security reasons. A source familiar with the panel's work told CNN that the unreleased footage was considered especially sensitive because it showed the movements of top officials while they evacuated to safety.

'I promised’: McCarthy stands by decision to give Jan. 6 footage to Tucker Carlson

Quote

...McCarthy pushed back on those accusations, arguing the release was important to ensure a transparent investigation. The House speaker said he plans to release the footage more widely after Carlson's crew is done sifting through it, according to the New York Times.

Hope that McCarthy doesn't have to face another Capital attack after this release.

Or they can just watch the highest rated cable show and see it for themselves.

The only thing I know of this story nis from glacing over the stories the poster provided.  If you have something else, or if I missed something, you could share.
