Unsurprisingly, the FBI also has a number of paid informants. Some of these informants apparently work at Best Buy -- Geek Squad by day, government informants by… well, also by day...
The case is already on very shaky ground, with the presiding judge questioning agents' "odd memory losses," noting several discrepancies between the FBI's reports and its testimony, and its "perplexing" opposition to turning over documents the defense has requested...
Underneath it all is the perplexing and disturbing aversion to adhering to the Fourth Amendment we've seen time and time again from law enforcement agencies, both at local and federal levels. Anything that can be done to avoid seeking a warrant, and anything that creates an obfuscatory paper trail, is deployed to make sure the accused faces an even more uphill battle once they arrive in court.

Just as soon as I get my memory pills, I will share some with them; if I remember.
None for that Lerner bitch, or Mrs C.
The Geek Squad. Exactly who you want to handle investigation of the country’s most sensitive email.
I wouldn’t trust those guys to setup a tv.
That ought to cut into Best Buys computer repair business.
I thought the entire purpose of the Geek Squad’s existence was to stand there and tell you “so, like, your computer is broken....wanna look at a new one?”
I’m thinking, if the feds came to me and asked to dig into a computer for info and turn it over...first response would be, “gotta warrant?”

This is when a REAL JUDGE would say, You Are In CONTEMPT OF COURT, I remand you for 30 days in the County Jail, General Population, This case will be continued for 30 days at which time we will see if your memory has improved after reflecting in JAIL. Bailiff Take him away.
presiding judge questioning agents’ “odd memory losses,”
Or as we call them “Hillarys”.
I suspect you are right on that.
But, My brother is an MIS guy at a fair sized company. He is always amazed at the skills/education of job applicants, especially during tech down turns!
They too need to eat.
Best Buy better get in front of this or they will see the end of their “Geek Squad”.
LOL!
Does not happen with government employees???
I did a title search, full and partial (100 char limit) and keyword search?
Usually the title search finds it? Same title, same everything???
Maybe FR can claw back some bits and photons?
4th Amendment violation.
Illegal search and seizure without cause or a warrant.
Heh. They don’t go to jail.
They, like union teachers, get paid “timeouts” in anonymous gov’t bldgs’ rooms, until they “reconform”.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Only takes one anti Tea Party nut to ruin your life!
He said bad things about 0bama!
It sounded like a threat! An intention to inflict pain!
This should be checked out!
Downhill from there...
The L Lerner crew does the checking...
Are they looking for e-mail or evidence of copyright violations?
For real. haha
For a long time a scam they were running was they would say they could not ship your computer for repair without copying all of your data from your hard drive.
They would charge you for that service.
now I believe I understand why.
