They should just hire 404Media as the inspector general of government surveillance tech. It would be more efficient and more accurate.
The inspector general is investigating whether ICE’s surveillance is legal. Even if this doesn’t result in any changes it will likely result in more details about how these systems work and that will hopefully be useful: www.404media.co/inspector-ge...

The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

The feds say the release of a Border Patrol agent's texts could "sully" his reputation.
But a judge says they're fair game, partly because Homeland Security has shown "zero concern" for the rep of Chicago's Marimar Martinez.

In 2006, I visited AIPAC's DC offices with a House candidate that I was working for. Even back then they were encouraging the bombing of Iran, showing us a map of suspected nuclear sites and requesting my candidate's support for a US attack. We left thinking they were nuts.
I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.
They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Personally, if someone kicked my pet this way, I’d probably do my level best to end them.
TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Early in his career, William Randolph Hearst famously joked that if his papers kept losing $1 million a year, he'd lose all his money in 60 years. If the Post continues to lose $100 million a year, it will take Jeff Bezos 2000 years to lose his money.
