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.

This will escalate until some of the Nazi agents start coming home in body bags. Sad that the US is now 1938 Germany. You’d think that people would know better by now.
That said, I also feel that we’re on an inflection point.

I pray you are right.
(And I do mean that I pray. All of us need to pray more.)
Well, Hudson herself said “ there were a lot of names in those files” according to this story.
I want one. :-)
During the raid, the officers also went after Hudson’s three pistols and three long guns, which she obtained legally.
She loses her 2nd Amend. protected rights because her husband has a legal issue? I protest!
Well, the outcome sure didn't get any coverage in the Tyrant's Lapdog Media:

Thanks for posting I missed that little announcement. That commie sheriff and a few of his employees ought to be doing hard time.
Yep.
Yeah. Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?
// She makes an allegation but provides no proof. //
Sure she does, and they admitted it. It’s in the article.
Page 1: “Outraged over the seizure, Hudson is now speaking out. She said no subpoena for the notes was presented during the raid and argues the confiscation was outside of the search warrant’s parameter.
“They took my notes without my knowledge and without legal authority to do so,” Hudson said this week. “The search warrant they presented said nothing about walking out of here with a single sheet of paper.”
She provided TheDC with a photo showing the stack of file folders in a bag marked “evidence/property.”
Page 2 continues: “....But it wasn’t until a month later, on Sept. 10, that Hudson was informed by Bosch that five files including her handwritten and typed notes from interviews with numerous confidential sources and other documents had been taken during the raid.”
If you read further, you’ll find out what their bogus excuse was.
It’s quite real, and it sucks.
The Washington TImes is going to file SUIT
:The Washington Times said Friday it is preparing legal action to fight what it called an unwarranted intrusion on the First Amendment.
