An FBI raid of the home of a media consultant in Tampa was linked to a probe into leaked videos involving former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
FBI agents searched the home of Tim Burke, a media consultant who also worked with media outlets, and Tampa City Council member Lynn Hurtak on May 8 as part of a probe into backstage videos and unaired footage obtained by Vice News and Media...

What is going on? Something wicked this way comes…
Defund the FIB.
I doubt they bothered to search the prime suspect in the release of these videos meant to hurt Tucker, Lachlan Murdoch. If they can’t find his home address try 750 Bel Air Rd, Los Angeles 90077, since he has lived there for a few years now
He appears to be a media hacker with supernatural skills ( has worked for the Daily Beast at some point) and his wife is a member of the ACLU and sits on the the Tampa City Council.
Oh no! Not the Comfy Chair!
The FBI involvement is puzzling.Embezzlement of Tucker? Or something the TLAs don’t want exposed?
Why on earth is the FBI involved in a civil matter?
Shut’em up real quick before they actually tell us the truth about what the FBI is *really* doing!
Pure speculation. This guy got the outtakes by hacking FOX and sent them to Media Matters, who in turn gave them to to other liberal outlets in order to embarrass both Tucker and FOX. FOX may have figured out he took them and got the FBI to investigate since FOX was being blamed for the leaks.
jiffy on the spot when they might be exposed.
Next comes cross burning or the Star of David or something like that on your house if they pick you out of a lineup.
What’ll it be folks? What will be the ident for enemies of the new state? An American Flag?
The comment has nothing to do with carlson. It is directed to the ham fisted fbi and all they have become to do.
Patsies identified
after running this part of the story I get this: "by receiving them from Irena Briganti under plausibly deniable means"
Irena’s name wasn’t in the article but I know she is a major suspect.

Timothy Burke is Director of Video for The Daily Beast, and formerly of Deadspin and Gawker. He lives in Tampa, Fla., where he fosters rescue beagles.
Perfect guy to have the Tucker video fall into his lap. Keep in mind that the in studio recordings while not on the air are controlled by Fox. Hacked? What does that even mean? Irena Brigante paw prints are all over this, as well as throwing Burke under the bus as a patsie.
Hacked means finding entry into FOX’s treasure trove of off air video tapes.

“Craggs said Burke spoke of having a connection to Anonymous, the international hacker collective — a claim Burke himself repeated in Netflix’s “Untold.” “He seemed to know that world in a way the rest of us did not. He’d also had this whole life in academia, and maybe a polka band at one point?”
In the documentary, Burke said that, pre-Deadspin, “I traveled in some interesting online circles, including with Anonymous, the notorious online hacker group. And I developed a reputation as somebody who finds things.”
I still don’t know what “hacked” means. At one time it meant the process of using a vulnerability in electronic storage of data by a stranger to an organization, especially where the organization storing the data is unaware of the vulnerability.
How many times have we seen “hacked” data consisting of off air video of news media celebrities? Never, obviously. Media organizations are a savvy as you can get in secure storage of this type of electronic data. This data was intentionally disseminated.
The narrative is “Burke is hacker in Annonmymous. Hackers are bad. Burke is bad. Fox is a victim. Fox is good.” This is so transparently a manufactured story.
