Yes, this was the sound of their case against Ivins being flushed down the toilet from the mouth of their star witness.
“Did Ivins alter the official sample he submitted? Keim said the test was sensitive enough that it should have picked up the signature of the mutant spores had Ivins followed the FBI’s directions for making the samples.
‘”Ivins may simply have failed to collect a representative sample,” he said, adding that “the FBI is implying he did it on purpose.’ “

Cracking the anthrax case
Investigators were at an impasse when a lucky discovery narrowed the hunt for the culprit who mailed the deadly spores.
I would further note that while I’ve never thought that Iraq or Russia were in any way involved, it is a silly fallacy to think that because it was the Ames strain, those could be excluded. Instead the inquiry was whether they had obtained it. For example, Dr. Alibek explained that Russia routinely obtained all of Detrick’s pathogens within 6 months by reason of a spy. Others who worked in the Soviet program have confirmed that. You just filled out an order form requesting the pathogen you wanted.

If that is true, I hope the FBI is in someway investigated and held liable for Ivin’s death.
