The Texas synagogue hostage situation, Aafia Siddiqui’s conviction, seditious conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, and Rep. Matt Gaetz are making headlines this week.  In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss the FBI’s response to the hostage situation and the demand made by the hostage-taker that Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui be released from federal prison, where she is serving an 86-year sentence for attempts to murder American military and FBI officials. Preet oversaw Siddiqui’s 2010 prosecution as the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down:  – the first seditious conspiracy charges brought by federal prosecutors stemming from the January 6th attack against the leader and members of the Oath Keepers;  – House minority leader Kevin McCarthy’s refusal to comply with the January 6th committee’s request to be interviewed; and  – Rep. Matt Gaetz’s ex-girlfriend’s reported testimony before a federal grand jury as part of an ongoing sex crimes investigation into the congressman. Stay informed.
