It was released by FD’s people. It was sensational.
would definitely need warrant, I’m just not sure how often that is used/allowed. Each jurisdiction would probably be different unless the SCOTUS released an opinion covering this. I’m going to do some research!
Defense counsel will suspect tap warrants and home bugging for this defendant/these defendants, which may be why defense team members (including, but not limited to "baby-faced intern") will likely spend a lot of time milling about and tagging along with FD wherever JD may be, to preemptively support a motion in limine and/or poisonous tree arguments to exclude any evidence derived from such warrants as impermissible intrusions into the attorney client privilege and right to zealous advocacy/assistance of legal counsel.
If they're smart/cagey, and would rather not be ethically compromised, the defense team will swap out some religious set piece for the legal team member/s in case there's any cross talk or incriminating information come up.
Expect a lot of TOR activity/history and burner phones/alternate communication means.
Clearly the defense team has been doing tons to telegraph to MT repeatedly that FD loves her and has her back, that he'd never do anything to turn against her and in fact is actively defending her and that FD is absolutely confident that any attempts LE may have made or be making to turn the lovebirds against each other will fail and/or have failed.
It's also intended to telegraph to the public "no collusion no conspiracy" (lol) because, hey guys, MT's team aren't even talking to us but that's not because MT and FD aren't still loyal to each other and for sure innocent, it's because those cruel self interested attorney's hired by MT's people have forbidden her from communicating or coordinating with FD's team. The FD defense team messaging and shouting from the rooftops is intended clearly not only for misdirecting/confusing the public but, more over, messaging to MT without messing backchannel. It's open and obvious, not covert. So they're all innocent, right, because why else demand immediate out in the open. It's the police who are hiding, and nasty greedy bitter GF holding FD's kids hostage by armed guard. FD is the victim here, as are the children. Isn't this sad and unfair how this poor man is being treated?
Row row row your boat. No passports necessary in most cases.
Snakes and rats always have more than one exit hole. And, mixing metaphors, the decoy bird will squak and flap about away from the nest to attract attention away from the nest. Maybe El Chapo has a hole; a tunnel so to speak. And ankle bling gets disabled and/or illegally removed not completely infrequently. Hacking is for sure a possibility. It wouldn't be the first time. What electronic system anywhere is fully failsafe or can not be bypassed, misled, or (wrong word but this is where I'm going) mimicked/impersonated?
I like the upthread theory (and by "like," I mean think you peeps are on to something here) about "the third man" or other type accomplice. Someone under the radar and compromised was supposed to either do and/or dispose of the hit, but botched something, messed up, something was derailed, then panic and damage control mode had to be initiated and quick, so some mistakes were made. Did MT even know the altered plates were what was in the FedEx box tucked in the drain? Remains to be seen).
More than one body (or remnants of more than one body) seemingly unrelated but actually related to this mess are likely to be found at some point before this whole thing is over. Another good reason for defense team to rush to trial and try to get as much double jeopardy protection going to their guy as possible.
I personally will be surprised if FD is still around then for the courtroom boredom, but one never knows. Poison Ivy and her paramour may or may not still be around by that time.
Perhaps FD can work on that lego castle, or read a good dictionary or five from one of his apparent libraries. I noticed the confusing incompetent wine cellar area through glass doors behind the wine cellar looked kind of paltry. But then FD picked up that baguette yesterday. Perhaps this is like some kind of last supper thing? One can only hope.
