Hi, Im a friend of the Duka family, and now also a friend of the Shnewer family. I can verify what was written in the Intercept, and reported on here, and also on Democracy Now. I knew the Dukas since before this case. I can verify that these men are innocent. Oh, and I also established an "association with the informant Mahmoud Omar, but I have never met the other informant Besnik.
One of the very first things Mahmoud the informant told me was, the Dukas were totally unaware of a plot. I already knew that. He told me he told his FBI handler Jack Ryan that in August 2006. It wasn't till after that, that Jack Ryan told him to entice the Dukas into a gun purchase. The Dukas were not looking to purchase weapons, so this took some doing.
Anyway, if you have some real questions about this case, feel free to respond. I am not on line much, so when I am on line, I will answer whatever I can about it. The Duka brothers are innocent, and the entire plot was a fabrication.
