"Christopher Hasson, a Coast Guard lieutenant" ... " was first charged in   
   February and faces counts of unlawful possession of two improperly registered   
   silencers, possession of a narcotic opioid and possession of 17 firearms as an   
   unlawful user and    
   addict of a controlled substance. If convicted on all four counts, he could   
   receive 31 years in prison. There is no federal domestic terrorism statute   
   under which he could be charged.    
   Hasson's public defender Elizabeth Oyer told the court, "I fear that through   
   the vivid imaginations and colorful writing of the prosecutors, the case has   
   developed a profile that does not line up with the facts."    
   Oyer referenced President Donald Trump multiple times, comparing her client's   
   racial slurs and targeting of Democrats and the media to similar views that   
   the President has taken.    
   Oyer said the list of names Hasson had allegedly assembled didn't amount to a   
   hit list but "looks like the sort of list that our commander in chief might   
   have compiled while watching Fox News in the morning."    
   She added that while the racial slurs Hasson allegedly used in private   
   writings were condemnable, they are now part of the "national vocabulary."    
   "Donald Trump uses similar epithets in his everyday language and tweets," Oyer   
   said. "
