We've read the court filing, and the person who tried to free the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was neither Taylor Lorenz nor CNN's Donie O'Sullivan. As you'll remember, the two of them had a good laugh over their folk hero, Luigi Mangione. So it's especially ironic that O'Sullivan was assigned to write the piece about a man who posed as an FBI agent and went to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, claiming to have a signed court order to free Mangione.

Sorry, your friend didn't get sprung.

According to a law enforcement source, that prisoner was Luigi Mangione. pic.twitter.com/FhahTvumnB
Update: The guy was working at a Bronx pizzeria after moving to NYC from Minnesota for a job offer that didn’t work out, per sources.

He could’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling MDC officers

Mangione is just another killer the Left wants set free. They love their political violence.
