Reader George:

Information has come to light that suspected Assassin Michael Steven Sandford who recently attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a recent Las Vegas rally, was trained by undercover FBI agents posing as Islamic terrorists, along side Omar Mateen and James Howell.

Recent information has come to light stemming from a recent Fox News Story and interview with James Wesley Howell, that links Omar Mateen, James Wesley Howell and Michael Sandford as members of a large U.S. terror organization that targets emotionally troubled young men and women to commit terrorist acts in the U.S.

Preceding the police shooting of Mateen in Orlando Florida and the arrest of Howell in Santa Monica prior to his participation in a planned attack on the Gay Pride Parade in Hollywood California, Get off the BS learned and reported that both Mateen and Howell had been recruited though an online social media course dubbed, “Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary” course.

Fox News recently reported that according to FBI Director James Comey, Mateen “was a follower of a controversial gang leader-turned-bank robber Marcus Dwayne Robertson, who has been identified by the FBI and Homeland Security as a recruiter for terrorists and for his repeated acts of inciting violence.”

Although Fox News did not report a connection between Mateen, Howell and Sanford, Howell’s statements to Santa Monica Police officer’s at the time of his arrest and a recent interview at the Los Angeles County Jail with Howell and Brenda Corpian, a reporter for Get off The Bs, have brought some very disturbing facts to light.

“We were all familiar with each other through an online fundamental Islamic knowledge seminary course – we were recruited through the course and trained together at a camp in Virginia – we were taught how to shoot and make bombs – everyone knew their part – something went wrong….”, said Howell at the time of his arrest in Santa Monica, CA.

James Howell
Interview with Howell at LACJ

When interviewed at the LACJ (Los Angeles County Jail) by our staff attorney an investigative reporter, Brenda Corpian, Howell further elaborated on his original statements. Brenda was allowed to speak with Howell as a licensed attorney considering representing him.

Brenda: You originally mentioned three other people you went thought training with. However you only mentioned the names of two of the people you trained with. Do you now remember who the third person was?

Howell: “Your guy got that f@#$%d-up. I told the cops what I knew –I trained with four other people – not three. We were part of one group – there were at lest 8 groups that we seen – maybe more.”

Brenda: Do you know what kind of activities these other groups were being trained for?

Howell: “I don’t know. Probably the same s@#t we were learning – I mean, we sometimes trained together on some stuff.”

Brenda: What kind of training did you receive at the camp – what did you train with others to do?

Howell: “The usual stuff I guess – making pipe bombs, mixing chemical explosives – ya know, military s@*t.”

Brenda: James, could you be more specific – what do you mean by military (expletive)– were you ever in the military?

Howell: “No I never made that trip but I have seen a lot of deep s*%t. I think everyone had his or her own thing going on. They taught several of us how to shoot – others were taught how to blow s**t up. All of us had to take our turns in the gas room….”

Brenda: The gas room?

Howell: “Yeah, it was really f@#$%d up. We had to go in to this room with gas masks on and take them off after they shot the gas in – it was jacked up.”

It appears that Howell and others he was trained with went through an abbreviated version of what the Army dubs basic training. Additionally it appears that selective training was given to others for specific assignments.

Howell and Omar were trained to handle automatic weapons and explosives. Howell witnessed at least five other people being trained to shoot what Howell described as “long rifles” – most likely sniper rifles.

“We all called Dan the chemist. He seemed to get off to making bombs and setting things on fire….I remember a time one his firecrackers came within inches of blowing some ball bearings through Michael’s legs….man that Brit was pissed,” said Howell.

Brenda: Brit? Who is Michael?

Howell: “The guy in Vegas. Weird mother f@$%%r – we called him the Brit because he was from England or some place like that…we went and partied one night with him….he has a nice Beamer.”

Brenda: I am not sure I understand what you mean by ‘the guy in Vegas?’ Beamer—do you mean BMW?

Howell: “The guy they arrested for trying to grab that cops gun to shoot Trump with — yeah a BMW – you know – beamer. I am in to lowered Honda’s and Acura’s. I have a sweet ride. If I ever get out of here maybe we can go for a …..”

Howell definitely made it clear while he was talking to Brenda that he knew Michael Sandford – recently arrested at a Trump rally for trying to disarm a Las Vegas metropolitan Police officer – a gun Sandford later claimed to the U.S. Secret Service he would have used to shoot Donald Trump.

Brenda reported that during the time she talked to Howell he seemed scared one moment and at other moments he was flirting with her. It was obvious to Brenda that Howell was very scared of what might happen to him while in custody but tried to add levity to the conversation to appear somewhat tough.

Brenda wrote in her story that, “I doubt very seriously that the recent reports that Howell is bi-sexual are accurate. The whole time I talked to him his eyes were glued to my breasts–he made no attempt to hide the fact that he was turned on by my chest.”
Marcus Robertson

FBI / Homeland Security Partner With A Radial Islamic Terrorist

According to Howell, he first came in contact with Imam Abu Taubah, AKA Marcus Robertson, a former marine who is the leader of what Howell believed was an ISIS cell group training and operating in the U.S.

Howell, Mateeen and Sandford were allegedly recruited by Robertson through an online fundamental Islamic knowledge seminary course, which Robertson conducts.

“I had no idea that the CIA was involved until I arrived at the camp in Virginia with others to start our training….I have read about places like the camp…but it was not what I was expecting….I don’t think anyone else was expecting it either,” said Howell.

Howell was unsure of exactly how many people were at the camp with him and or what particular missions, if any, the other recruits were being trained for. “People came in and out. Omar, Dan and me were always together—we knew what we were suppose to do.”

It appears Howell and his fellow conspirators were told very clearly to “keep their mouths shut” about what they were going to do and to not ask others about their assignments – roles, if any.

Brenda’s interview came to an end when someone at the jail abruptly shut off the phones Howell and her were speaking through.

Although it is normal procedure for a client (Howell) and their attorney (Brenda) to talk in privacy in an interview room, the authorities despite Brenda’s license to practice law in California, would not allow Brenda to speak with Howell in an attorney/client interview room.
