When anyone ELSE is the target of a felony Espionage Act probe… and a full probable cause judge-issued warrant is executed by the FBI, one with authority to search and seize in every room of the TARGET’s residence… often, additional, non-relevant documents may be swept up.

They are almost ALWAYS returned — within days.

That is PRECISELY what happened to this espionage / felony indictment “target”. His passports are not proof of any “vendetta”. Damn, son… Damnation.

He’s physically received the passports back, already, morons. Just… sit down.

Being a target of the FBI is no fun. But the presumption of innocence is for the courtrooms only.

Nah, out here, on the streets — “the b!tch got eyes…” as Denzel reminds us, in “Philadelphia“.

In sum… sit down, Hinderaker. In time, a filter team will begin sorting through attorney client materials — in the segregated boxes. And it is possible that in the non-privileged boxes — federal AUSAs find enough evidence to convict, without them — and decide to return them, sealed and unopened — just to save time and expense.

In fact, that may be… likely, here. And exactly WHY the FBI segregated the atty-client junk, into its own pallet of boxes.

But good law enforcement practice it to… take it all, and seal it up.

Cheers, chuckleheads!
