Seems they didn't follow specific instructions on search warrant and took reporter Audrey Hudson's confidential notes.

[freeandfreezing]

Since when is a potato gun illegal?

[Lazamataz]

ALL REPORTERS.

YOU ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE.

ALL NOTES SHOULD BE BACKED UP AND ENCRYPTED, STORED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

CARRY ON.

[Ann Archy]

We are living in a POLICE STATE.....man the TORPEDOES!!

[tomkat]

I hope they sue their traitorous Nazi asses off.

In a country that had some actual respect for the rule of Constitutional law, and a judiciary with a smattering of residual integrity, they might even win !

[lafarge]

Reporters and editors need to start carrying handguns. Stand their ground, protect their first amendment rights and shoot the pigs dead.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Another take on the seizure of Ms. Hudson' files.

Chairman ObaMAO says

Well done, good and faithless servants!

Combined General and Maryland "Freak State" PING!

[FreeReign]

Barack Obama:

"They'll warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave and creative and unique experiment in self rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted."

[Candor7]

They went looking for a potato gun and just accidently stumbled upon Audrey’s reporter notes? Welcome to the age of Obama Himmler.

[Innovative]

People are upset over the agents seizing the documents and they should be.

But they should also be upset that government agents raid a house at 4:30 am in search of guns.

Whatever happened to the 2nd Amendment?!

“The agents, who had arrived a 4:30 a.m. in full body armor, collected several small arms during the raid, although no charges have been filed against Mr. Flanagan, 54, during the nearly three months since.”

[Diogenesis]

Because Issa is Obama’s willing whore,
EVERY CRIMINAL ACTION OF THE CORRUPT REGIME
HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED and ABETTED.

[RginTN]

Why did she give up items unrelated to the warrent?

Why were feds involved in a state issue?

Will the Obamamedia cover this?

Will the House GOP convene hearings on this? Call for a special prosecutor to investigate?

And I hope this reporter sues the crap out of all involved for abuse of process and 1st amendment violation.

[Rocky]

This happened in August, and we’re just now hearing about it? Something smells bad about this story.

[MarMema]

ncluding handwritten and typed notes from interviews with numerous confidential sources related to her exclusive reporting on the air marshals service.

These people should worry.

[xzins]

Any idea if they found the potato gun and/or any unregistered guns?

What a case study on the reasons to reject gun registration. It can be used as a pretext for violating every home in America.

[MarMema]

I’m sure it was just a dreadful accident that they took the info for the whistleblowers.

[cherokee1]

Perhaps if the alleged “free press” actually got off its butt and did some real investigating/reporting on the Kenyan’s whole operation there might be enough fear among the brown shirts to avoid trying this cheap krap. And this Flanagan genius actually works for the Coasties? Wouldn’t they just go ask him what he’s got? Last time I checked a potato gun was a car tailpipe. Did the guy take a shot at his boss with a spud? He should have nibbled a gun out of a cookie and yelled “bang.” There’s still too big a BS factor in this story to make much out of it. Somebody want to ask Judge Quickdraw if his warrant was properly served?

Leave the “dummy” notes at home and take the real ones with you...always.

[FreeAtlanta]

“Flanagan was evasive but stated he did receive a ‘potato gun’ but it was defective and it was thrown away.” The term “potato gun” is “slang used during the illegal importation of silencers,” according to the warrant. Mrs. Hudson says the “potato gun” claim is outrageous. She says that her husband did in fact purchase a “potato launcher” from an online company based in Sweden five years ago as a novelty item, but it was discarded within as few weeks because it did not work.

They will make up anything to come after you. They are beyond the law. BTW, are potato guns (not silencers...) even illegal and if so, WHYYYYYYY???????

[IbJensen]

Long past time to dissolve many government agencies! This government has become too intrusive and too damned big.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Reporter Audrey Hudson said the investigators, who included an agent for Homeland’s Coast Guard service, took her private notes and government documents that she had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act during a predawn raid of her family home on Aug. 6.

It doesn't look all that lonely over here-ping.
