According to a Secret Service officer’s statement, which was included with Kandula’s arrest warrant, Kandula showed sympathy for Nazis and declared a desire to “reach the White House, assume control, and take charge of the country.” These specifics were detailed in an affidavit supplied by a Secret Service agent.
