Yesterday, the WaPo ran an article on the disposition of Edgar Maddison Welch's court case (Comet Ping Pong). While it is possible that there may be a delay in court reporting, I doubt it. The Federal court records show case information as recent as yesterday.

Article: Washington Post, Dec. 15, 2016, "Grand jury returns indictment against Edgar Welch in Comet Ping Pong incursion";

Comments: The article states the following:

• "A federal grand jury returned an indictment Thursday bringing two additional charges against a North Carolina man accused of commandeering a Washington pizza restaurant with an assault-style rifle on Dec. 4." - There is no record of any case regarding Welch in the Federal case records locator: https://dockets.justia.com/search?state=district_of_columbia&cases=between&after=2016-11-1&before=2016-12-17&page=2 [Note: it is possible that Justia may not have full access to the records normally provided by the PACER system. PACER requires a 10.00 sign up fee]

• The article states: "(Welch) charged Tuesday by police complaint with a federal count of interstate transportation of a firearm and ammunition, was also accused in the indictment of two D.C. offenses: assault with a dangerous weapon and possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence." A link to the DC Court system (https://www.dccourts.gov/cco/maincase.jsf)) shows that all charges against Welch have been dropped and the case is closed.

• The Federal charges are set forth in this document. (sorry, if someone knows how to archive this in non-PDF format, I'm all ears. I've clicked it myself) https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3239353/12-15-16-Welch-Indictment.pdf . Here is the weird part - the document says "Grand Jury Sworn in November 3rd, 2016". I don't need to explain the problem with that. 1) I cannot corroborate the authenticity of this document and 2) I do not know how Grand Juries work - are they assembled per case or for a time frame? Any insight is welcome.

If we are able to wrap some more meat (facts) around this, we may be able to build a pretty airtight (no pun intended) case for a false flag operation and media coverup (@tjarco). If anyone has access to the PACER system, I could use a hand here.
