The circumstances surrounding Jeanine John Taele, 38, canvassing Trump National Golf Club ahead of President Trump’s visit certainly indicate Taele was planning a 4th assassination attempt on the life of President Trump.
Taele was arrested at Trump National Golf Club in CA with fake credentials, a fake badge and claims of being a State Dept security agent, while taking pictures and filming the venue. Taele carried armor piercing and hollow point bullets with a loaded handgun in his vehicle. [LA Sheriff’s Office]
When agents searched his home, they found an illegally modified AR style rifle with barrel shortened, body armor, high-capacity magazines, unlawful ammunition and “multiple notebooks containing concerning statements.” “He’s now facing 4 state charges and a federal charge.”
Taele was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm (25400(a)(1) PC) and Possession of Armor-Piercing/Prohibited Ammunition (31310 PC).
Recognizing the potential security implications surrounding the incident, detectives from the Sheriff’s Department Major Crimes Bureau assigned to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) obtained and executed a search warrant yesterday, August 3rd, for Taele’s residence in the city of Downey.
During the search, investigators recovered:
• An illegally modified AR platform rifle
• A 1911 .45 caliber pistol
• An AR platform upper receiver
• Body armor
• High-capacity magazines
• Bulk pistol and rifle ammunition
• Multiple notebooks containing concerning statements
• Two radio signal devices
The investigation is being conducted in close coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the United States Secret Service. Additional charges could be added as the investigation continues. Taele remains in custody. The investigation is ongoing. (source)
Who names a male “ Jeanine”?
Ain’t his Momma I tellya that!
Jeanine John Taele…
Personally…I would have gone with J.J. 🙂
More than likely Haitian or possibly Jamaican. He was a US Army veteran so he’s not illegal but the guy’s name is a dead giveaway!
My mom, born in 1922, was supposed to be a male-since that’s what gramps wanted first!
Named her Willlis Jeanette ____. After that she answered to Jay or just J. Miss you momma. We have an awesome President right now, glad they kept him safe.
Funny you mention this
My Mom born in 1909 was supposed to be a boy and they named her Willie B…
She was the best mom ever and was called B or Billie.
Taele is a former U.S. Marine who served from 2008 to 2016, including combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Filipino and male. I suppose Jeanine is not considered a female name with Filipinos.
Thank you for that. I was about to cue up “A Girl Named Sue” By Johnny Cash
Love it!
😂
“Filipino and male. I suppose Jeanine is not considered a female name with Filipinos.” That is incorrect: Jeanine is a popular name for females in the Philippines, but males generally don’t have that name.
The guy doesn’t remotely look like a Filipino! Looks more Jamaican. The first name is Haitian and his last name is Jamaican. Probably a Carribean mix.
But, but, but what does he identify as ??
What’s in a name?
Depends…
Brits, too…
Evelyn Waugh, author
Hilary Benn, politician
Add the French…
My mother who loved classical music thought until her older age that Camille Saint-Saëns was a woman.
And here …
Ashley Wilkes, effete Southern gentleman (“Gone With the Wind”)
Just a few…
The MSM and politicians keep stirring up the potential assassins from the multitude of crazed leftists or other loonies. Lord help us.
KOOKOO for CoCo Puffs!
Yikes!
God Bless Donald Trump, and keep him safe!
looks like a muslim amish white male with brownish pigment
Wonder if they found his FBI badge yet
more likely “they” found the iranian flag and paychecks from the IRGC
We are living in very disturbing times. Sad.
The JTTF is involved? That ain’t good.
It will be interesting to see how the connection to JTTF is made.
Note: No mention of other conspirators.
Radio equipment implies others involved…
Or for listening to SS & Fibie comms.
A lot of the weapons stuff is fluff.
I have an AR-15 with a 7 ” barrel, too short for a legal rifle but since it has no stock, by ATF rules, it’s a pistol.
I have hollow point ammo, legal most places but not in Calif.
I have bulk ammo, not to assassinate but to defend my home against the hoards that Biden & Co brought in.
I have high capacity magazines, same reason.
We shouldn’t get sucked into the gov’ts hair on fire dialogue when it comes to firearms.
Maybe the guy was just a harmless caddie checking out the golf course.
Are you a criminal charged with armed robbery and multiple firearms violations in 2025 out on bail, surveilling a future Presidential visit location while attempting to impersonate a law enforcement officer, illegally concealing a firearm, illegally possessing a firearm, and possessing an unregistered NFA item?
It’s preposterous that you are attempting to conflate this arrest with mere possession of firearms and ammunition. This is not a law abiding citizen.
“Illegal”, “unlawful”, “high-capacity”, “armor-piercing”, etc, etc, etc.
I don’t see anything here prohibited by the 2A of the U.S. constitution. Pay attention to the narrative folks. If he committed an actual crime, charge him. Otherwise, all I see is “a bunch of stuff we forbid you to own or possess.”
Pretty sure impersonating a federal agent is a crime.
It is, but the difference between a misdemeanor or a felony in too many cases is based on the political persuasion of the perpetrator.
But you probably don’t visit a Trump golf Course for fun.
The problem in this country is there is no severe punishment for crime any longer. Any attempted assassination of a president should automatically, if convicted in a speedy trial with no appeals, receive the death penalty immediately carried out.
Exactly. Same with frivolous lawsuits meant to derail a presidency.
Those who participate in frivolous Lawfare suits should receive a minimum of ten years in the slammer for maliciously interfering with the business of our nation.
I once lived with a woman named Jeanine! Nameberry, BabyNamesStudio and The Bump all say Jeanine as a girl’s name!
Maybe there are men out there named Jeanine who aren’t trans, but that would rare. Maybe we’ll come to find out Taele’s the secret boyfriend of Lance Twiggs?
How many Americans have been killed so far in trump’s Iran debacle?
Dear Lord, please protect OUR President!
And while you are at it, please punish this evil.
Amen
🙏
That he was radicalized is not in dispute, but one wonders on whose behalf he was working: Iran, CIA, FBI, Great Britain, Muslim Brotherhood, DSA, Cuba, Ukraine, Canada, Denmark, James Comey … the list is a long one!
using the triple name is becoming a telltale sign of psyop….
It looks like more pre-planning was being utilized than on the prior attempts. I wonder what tipped off the agents to begin with?
