A veteran Washington D.C. investigative journalist says the Department of Homeland Security confiscated a stack of her confidential files during a raid of her home in August — leading her to fear that a number of her sources inside the federal government have now been exposed.
In an interview with The Daily Caller, journalist Audrey Hudson revealed that the Department of Homeland Security and Maryland State Police were involved in a predawn raid of her Shady Side, Md. home on Aug. 6. Hudson is a former Washington Times reporter and current freelance reporter.
A search warrant obtained by TheDC indicates that the August raid allowed law enforcement to search for firearms inside her home.

In TOTAL agreement!!!
The Maryland State Police were looking for 10+ round magazines and EEEVIL assault rifles.
I am shocked there are so many willing to do Obama’s bidding - no questions asked.
I wonder if obamma’s love reporters will now turn aainst him?
What crime would her handwritten notes be suspected of being evidence of?
The LE folks, in the middle of the search, asked her if she was the reporter who had done exposes. What crime investigation would require them to ask that information?
Why would they be looking at individual pages inside file folders - when supposedly looking for firearms? They think a firearm is going to be on individual pages in a file folder?
And if there were papers that were of a confidential nature but acquired through a FOIA request, the confidential stuff would have been redacted and it would have been clear that it was legitimately gained. Also, a reporter would certainly have kept the correspondence that came with the FOIA response, to prove it was legitimately acquired. LE would have been able to know on the spot that this was no evidence of a crime.
They apparently think that guns are made out of paper, because in their search for guns they apparently looked at every individual piece of paper in the house...
Those paper guns are pretty dangerous, ya know...
I know, terribly terrified of paper there it seems.
"back in my LEO days, I never requested or executed a search warrant that did not include some verbiage like “or any other materials or objects evidencing violations of local, State, or Federal ordinances, statutes or laws.”, in the description of what was to be searched or seized.Here is what the US Constitution requires:
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.[1]"anything else that we might find" doesn't comport with the Constitutional requirement that the search warrant "particularly describe" what is being searched for.
The Constitution's meaning is clear. The routine violation of it that you were a party to does not change what the Constitution requires.
” - - - Those paper guns are pretty dangerous, ya know... “ especially if the Gestapo DOJ “search” is FAST AND FURIOUS.
Just because the husband is not allowed to own firearms, does not mean the wife is prohibited.
Blow back from the Snowden case.

“or any other materials or objects evidencing violations of local, State, or Federal ordinances, statutes or laws.”
In other words, a Judge approved fishing expedition.
“Issa gave the “green light” for all corruption in the USA
from Fast&Furious, to the BC coverup,
to the Benghazi coverup, to the IRS coverup,
to the NSA coverup.
In charge of the coverup? Issa.”
Yes, that is why he investigated, demanded documents, subpoenaed Eric Holder and others, and then demanded that the House sue to hold holder accountable, all the while swimming upstream against Democrat stonewalling and being called names by the MSM.
That is satire. Let us not throw the good guys under the bus because they do not have enough power to put the bad guys in jail.
When they harass kids for chewing pop tarts into gun shapes, whatdja expect?
Will the New York Times be outraged? Well, they would have been if this happened under Bush...
When I read this story, I shook in muh boots.
Am I in the Twilight Zone????
