Welcome back to False Flag! I headed to a Washington courthouse on Tuesday to see something that’s becoming increasingly rare: a Trump ally facing legal consequences for his actions.
I was there to see Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, who was already a defendant in multiple criminal cases, arraigned on still more new charges. Fournier faces six new counts—including his first felony—for obstructing justice, assault, contempt, and allegedly threatening to kidnap or injure. And these are separate from his recent arrest for cocaine possession, his ties to a strange fake Secret Service agent scam, and the gun investigation that prompted police to search his apartment last month.
Instead, the new charges relate to Fournier’s alleged attack on his ex-girlfriend and a right-wing media influencer, most of the details of which haven’t been released by prosecutors. Both women were in the courtroom on Tuesday as Fournier was brought in from the D.C. Jail, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and shackled at the legs and waist.
Just a month ago, Fournier was hobnobbing with the Trump-world elite, hitting all the hot bars and living it up at a billionaire’s penthouse. He was even heading to The Ned, the private member’s club beloved of D.C.’s MAGA grandees, when Secret Service agents arrested him a few weeks ago. Now he’ll be in jail for at least another week. But don’t worry—he’s somehow still managing to post to his 1.2 million followers on X to promote the White House’s cheap gas scheme.

TURNING POINT USA OFFICIALS and their allies have seized on a hearing in Utah this week for alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, hoping to use newly public evidence from the case to dispel the conspiracy theories about his death promoted by onetime friend Candace Owens.
A very different drama in the Kirk saga is playing out six hundred miles away in Pasco, Washington, where a little-known Kirk assassination conspiracy theorist named Mitch Snow has been dodging U.S. marshals intent on serving him with a defamation lawsuit.
On X, Snow has been posting doorbell-camera screenshots of befuddled marshals waiting at his front door, including one that shows Snow himself driving by as the marshals look for their quarry.
After a regular process server complained to the court what was described as a “hostile” environment at Snow’s home, a judge dispatched armed marshals to do the job instead. So far, they haven’t succeeded.
Snow told me he has refused to meet any of them out of fear they’ve been sent to murder him for knowing too much. The guys at his door, Snow says, are the type who are “just sent to stalk you, harass you, kill you.”
“‘Oops, I accidentally shot him,’” Snow said, imagining the excuse the marshals would use after his execution.
Snow, 56, has been thrust into the Kirk story because of some bizarre claims he made about Erika Kirk and an Arizona military base in a December appearance on Owens’s show. Now he’s a codefendant alongside Owens in a defamation lawsuit filed by Kirk security chief Brian Harpole, meaning Owens could soon have to answer in court for her decision to platform Snow—someone who doesn’t exactly have a reputation for living in reality.
Snow isn’t just afraid of process servers. He claims he’s faced years of harassment and attempts on his life, including an apparent car bomb, ever since he found out while working for the military that the American government is colluding with Mexican drug cartels to build drug tunnels under the border.
He’s accused his own father of being the Zodiac killer. He told me he’s been targeted with rumors saying he’s “Blanco Muerte”—a rogue special forces agent dedicated to slaying cartel agents, Sicario-style.
When a beetle flew into the house where he’s been laying low since appearing on Owens’s show, he suspected it was some kind of insect-shaped surveillance drone sent by Erika Kirk, and stuffed it in a Faraday bag to review later with Owens. And he thinks Erika Kirk and Harpole might be out to murder him, too.
Now, with a defamation suit pending, Owens’s financial and legal future could hinge on ...
