On Sunday August 11, 2024, at approximately 9:00pm authorities were alerted to a break-in at the Trump 2024 campaign headquarters in Ashburn, VA.
The sheriff’s office is now releasing images from the security camera as they attempt to identify the individual. The white male, late 40’s, wearing a baseball cap, dark grey hoodie, grey pants and a reverse mounted backpack is pictured below. Based entirely on the appearance of the individual and the manner of which he is carrying his kit, this guy looks like a fed.
Press release from the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) below:
Loudoun County, VA (August 12, 2024): The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is seeking a suspect in connection with a burglary at the Trump for President 2024 campaign office in Ashburn, VA, on August 11, 2024. The office, in the 20000 block of Ashbrook Place, is being leased by the Trump campaign and also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.
LCSO was contacted about the burglary yesterday at approximately 9:00 pm and deputies responded. The investigation is ongoing, and the LCSO has video surveillance of the suspect. He is a white adult male, wearing dark clothing, a dark cap, and a backpack when he entered the location.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” said Sheriff Mike Chapman. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind.”
Anyone who believes they know the suspect, witnessed the burglary, or has any other information is asked to contact Detective Franks at 571-918-1869. (MORE)
Sheriff office unsure if anything was “taken” or “left behind”?
Suspicious Cat remains, well, exceptionally suspicious…
you know the guy is a “spook” because he didn’t bother to wear a mask.
he knows he won’t get in any trouble.
doesn’t care if he gets seen.
100% gov.
He’s probably not an actual career federal agent, but is being paid, handled , and instructed by one.
Like Thomas Crooks?
A “Spook” would have not been caught on a surveillance camera. This guy is an amateur and much younger than the article implied. Shades of Watergate. No good reason to break into a campaign headquarters, generally there is nothing there in the way of campaign secrets to steal and because they are so public you don’t get much from a bug that you can’t find out from legal means. I am more interested in what he is carrying in his packs. It might be a good idea to have a good bomb dog check the place out. This could have been a dry run by a “woke” amateur for something else.
Maybe his mission was to pre-steel “TRUMP/VANCE 2024” yard signs, to save on time and gas roaming neighborhoods to take them?!
Extra points if he could make them shock proof.
Looks like a homeless guy willing to do anything for cash.
Recently cut and shaved homeless, hmmm.
“No known address”
Try 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW for the win.
Paid by the oligarchs whether fed or not.
in the picture of the perp that shows his left hand; his left hand is extremely large, in proportion to covering his face from chin to eyebrows. And what could be the reason for wearing a backpack backwards?
He thought he was a Mom shopping in Target with his baby in the backpack?
so you can load it as you are moving.
Load or unload faster.
Bingo
Stuffing it quickly?
So sick of the wicked treasonous Feds. To hell with them all.
arrest warrant for Toby Shane Kessler, age 39.
Yes, that is who the authorities have identified.
My question:
How did they identify him as the person who broke into Trump’s campaign office?
Is he related to Glenn?
LOL!
DMV records and facial recognition software. If you have a drivers license, they can identify you in minutes.
This is equally true and amazing.
My neighbor the judge told me a year ago that facial recognition software can ID people in crowds, walking on the street, in social media pictures, driving cars, etc.
Privacy is only a concept.
Not by the recent lousy picture of me on MY license this year. I’m not pretty, but really…
NCIC database has facial from everyone’s drivers licenses.
TSK TSK TSK!!!
Not wearing a mask?! i.e., wants to be seen white dude.
It’s comical in some ways. I just visited several domestic left-wing sites and all the posts refer to this event as a Trump/MAGA inspired false flag pretext for claiming election fraud.
The real intent here is to publish whatever memes the Left finds useful – under the guise of “official” Republican policy objectives. For example, says the Guardian, “Documents show organization’s staffing initiative is going strong as it seeks to replace government employees .” In short, claim exactly what the Dems have been doing.
Lotta of stuff lately all calculated to distract from an attempted assassination.
Yep, that’s the calc all right.
It was a reason to be glad that PDJT spent 20 minutes with Elon describing the experience – how many of those millions of listeners had heard next to nothing about J13?
It had the added benefit of identifying motives for a few rolcons here who made the mistake of complaining that part of the conversation was just soooo boring…
If I could add 25 “thumbs up,” I would!
I’ve been around a few party/campaign offices. It is not the place to find policy or strategy information. The most valuable things there are lists – list of volunteers- complete with address and phone email. As well as call lists. Given the left’s lust for violence those could be very useful to them.
He does not care if there are cameras. Does not try to disguise identity in any fashion.
This is someone who knows not a damn thing will happen to him. This was another threat. That person carries himself as ex military that has gone to work for the dark side of government.
He did his job, then he disappeared.
He did not take anything or leave anything. I call bullshit on that. I think they are hiding something he left there as a threat.
How did he get there? No pictures from other cameras in the area? Every damn door in this country now has a spy on it. I am not buying what they are selling at all.
Why are they letting the local yokels handle this? Lot of unanswered questions sometimes can point to the answer.
Maybe he didn’t hide his face because the capital police were outside the front door waving him in.
The dog that didn’t bark.
Guy looks like the epitome of the Halloween costume marked NPC Fed. Sure does not scream leftist kook.
👉But in reality there’s little if any difference between them in this current culture 👈
Can facial recognition distinguish full head latex masks?
Asking for a friend.
He could be heard singing “we must go into the Capitol”. 🎼
Maybe look in DC…someone knows him/ location
I would watch…..
Well, what do we have here:
No fixed address but mail all inquiries to the nearest FBI branch.
If he’s not associated with them, they will know the agency to forward to. 😉
Once again, these feds are getting sloppy.
Anyone recognize the image on the center of his ball cap?
Is it my vivid paranoid imagination, or does the baseball cap have two different logos on the two photos? I noticed it in the close-ups and began wondering. What gives?
You are seeing glare from sunglasses in the rightmost image, and the emblem is between the lenses in the middle image.
I still say he sure looks like Dan Goldman!
Weird. I pulled the area up on Maps and it’s an office park type area. Makes you wonder if he went in there looking for computers and came up empty.
They’ll bury is political affiliations if they can. That he made zero effort to hide his face means he’s likely a) very stupid and b) had big plans that crashed on the rocks of “boring office park”.
My initial reaction wasn’t “Fed”. My initial reaction was “very stupid person” hoping he could steal some computers and sell them to Democrats. No mask. No attempt to conceal his identity in a world where everything is on camera.
Expect more creepy weirdo leftist shenanigans as they try to be the one who saves “our democracy”.
Probably a street addict looking for anything to steal and then sell in order to buy some kamala crack, also known as fentanyl.
Good point. Probably didn’t even know it was Trump HQ since he went in through the back door. It’s rare for businesses (let alone short term renters) to put signage on the back door where he entered.
The media did public records searches and he’s been arrested for “loitering” (homeless) and burglary.
I’m sticking with my “he’s just a stupid guy” first impression though.
That clean shaven?

Toby Shane doesn’t look homeless to me.
Yep, a homeless fed agent. Yup, sure…and I have a bridge to sell…not completed and goes nowhere but I KNOW I could sell it to some moron.
Maybe he’s just a member of kerlala’s secret service security team looking for a place to use the bathroom.
Exactly 💯 💯
👉If he’ll issue an apology like they did then it’s all good.👈
Thirty-nine and looks that old? He’s an old drug addict.
Definitely has the hair cut, walk and the face of a fed.. bet he also has a lock pick set as part of his standard issue like 5he SS does..
He doesn’t look like any fed I’ve ever known. Looks like a tweaker meth head to me.

I don’t know, even the Secret Service blocked off the camera when they broke into that salon last week or so.
This guy is pretty stupid, so he should be fairly easy to catch.

Vindicates my take on it. The guy’s a fed only in as much as he’s on federal welfare (SS/SSI) or getting paid by NGOs including the IC.
There are a lot of feds in Loudoun County. I live in the “Ashburn” zipcode, south. I used to see that Haspel lady at the local grocery store, oh that was 20 years ago, though. Still, lotttts of feds
Definitely suspicious. Wouldn’t be the first borderline personality that was used to do their dirty work.
Democrats are proud of their chicanery. This guy will receive big buck$$$$$ and a promotion into the DOJ bureaucracy.
He’ll probably be one of Kamala/Tim’s advisors on the audacity of skulduggery against Trump.
This is from the same playbook as the Russian Collusion fraud, fake dossier, impeachment malarkey, etc.
Sheriff office unsure if anything was “taken” or “left behind”?
———–
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna find a “glowie” tiki torch, cargo pants, and some Wayfarer sunglasses left behind …
The deranged Left are keen on the Biden/MSM generated propaganda that “Trump is Hitler,” and all MAGA supporters are Nazis who are “a threat to Democracy.” The FBI has labeled white conservative Christians as “Domestic Terrorists” while simultaneously stating the biggest threat the US faces are now “Domestic Terrorists.” (Not China, Not Russia, Iran or actual Islamic terrorists freely streaming over our borders by the thousands now)
If one were to think like a deranged, sociopathic, tyrannical off-the-rails FBI or IC agent, would one think it a good idea to plant some “evidence” in a strategic place to support their narrative? Isn’t the FBI famous for this sort of technique to use to intimidate or arrest people in order to force them to do their bidding or disappear them from society? Should we expect an FBI raid on this campaign HQ soon that may uncover “a criminal weapons stash or bomb building materials, drugs, or Hitler worshipping items” for example, that they planted that could be used as an excuse to start arresting anyone who is trying to help Trump get elected? Or certainly leaking “evidence” they found to their favorite Pravda paper, The NYTImes would be damaging to the Trump campaign they would hope. Most of us here would probably not find that far fetched, as the FBI has already done this sort of thing in regard to Trump when they planted the staged “Stolen Classified Documents” at Mara Lago during their illegal raid on the former President’s home recently. This was always something Jack Smith hoped to use to build a case so he could put Trump in prison. Too bad they got an honest judge who couldn’t be bought or intimidated.
Campaign HQ in swing states would be wise to set up watches for surveillance of their property. IMHO the swing states are where the DS are likely to focus their dastardly deeds to cheat, steal, or do anything imaginable to prevent Trump from prevailing there. These people are ruthless criminals who right now think they are invincible and there will be no accountability for whatever heinous crimes they commit to keep themselves in power. After reading the tea leaves of evidence presented by eye witnesses and videos along with observing the now-predictable gas lighting responses of the Left and the shifty testimony of the Director of their Gestapo arm, most people here seem to agree the assassination attempt on Trump was an inside job. We are skeptical this will ever be proven, as the organizers, whom no one trusts, are the ones who have custody of the evidence right now. What will they try next? Be ready for literally anything. Nothing is too low or too evil for these people.
PS: Remember that God is much more powerful than Satan himself. Put on the Armor of God, Ephesians 6, and take heart. Pray Psalm 35 on behalf of President Trump and our Constitutional Republic. It’s working! In God We Trust.
Looks like a FED
This guy is properly called a “technician” in IC parlance.
Jus’ sayin’.
Whitmer Special
I wonder if he planted listening devices around the place?
Interesting … I read many comments on what phase of information warfare that stunt might be for.
I nominate an op similar to the “MI gov alledged kidnap plot” that was purely manufactured by a 3 letter agency. As in the agency found a dufus to put up to the stunt, have him be the fall guy when caught or exposed. A probe of security in MAGA places, to find weaknesses for possible future attacks designed to intimidate MAGA campaign volunteers, scare us into staying home, etc.
Election interference of novel kinds of brute force, aimed at MAGA, possibly.
When the suspect was arrested he said,
“Yall just dont understand that I’m here on instructions from the government and just want to help”!!!!!
“…Just trying to work off that plea bargain, for the failed 250K jewelry robbery in California!”
Kessler….sounds like Kesselring… he was a NAZI!
I hope they brought bomb sniffing dogs.
Not wearing gloves.
No mask with cameras everywhere?
Planting ‘devices’??????????????????
Of course he is a FED. Thats what the FEDs do
He also looks foreign born.
I wonder what database Dem operatives and intelligence agencies use, to find mentally suspect societal outcasts to perform these ‘operations’.
The imagery is always grainy and blurry when it will hurt the Establishment’s plans. The guy looks like your garden variety asset, whether of federal law enforcement or some DNC front like Bob Creamer’s miscreants from 2020, dressing up operatives in Old Man Sanders gear to start violence at Trump rallies.
I would, heavily armed locked and loaded….unfortunately there are none in the northeast hills/woods…. anyway, most people up here have Trump signs and flags….and FJB…. now we need FKH flags/signs
Convenient.
Put him in khakis and a polo shirt and he almost looks like he’s a member of those morons who march with a flag at rallies (and probably work for an alphabet investigative agency)
Paid operator for sure Are they trying to send the Trump team a message, we have something and you know what it is .
Another of the shovel ready jobs that Biden has created… political burglary.
Thing is, you don’t have to be a employee of the system to be a part of it. Rats are everywhere.
“…this guy looks like a fed.” . Like “were going into the capitol” Fed subcontractor Ray Epps?
