It's true that just about all the Muslims charged with some form of treason have been converts- most Muslims around here are immigrants and too busy trying to build a life for themselves to get involved with the stupidity they ran from in the old country. Apparently this guy tried to get involved with some local Muslim online groups but was basically told to get lost when he started trying to promote his "rifle shooting for Muslims" classes.
As far as Yee goes, it's become clear that this is another Federal political prosecution. The government keeps asking to postpone the trial while it tries to figure out whether the "classified" materials he had were really classified or not. They have long since given up any claim that he was trying to pass information to a foreign entity. If they prosecuted every soldier who committed adultery or surfed for porn on a government computer while stuck in a lonely, isolated posting, the military would have to close up shop! It seems that there's just something about the Feds that makes them think that they have to convict a defendant of something once they accuse him, even when it's obvious that the original charges were a mistake. Why can't they just admit the mistake and walk away?
