I believe FBI was a minor player, if any, it was IRS TAIGA's Jeff Gordon and AUS Attorney Robb London who bird-dogged, planted a vehicle tracker, surveilled, harassed parents and friends, lurked on, sent messages and cherry-picked this mail list to subpoena cpunks and gather evidence for grand juries. https://cryptome.org/jdb-subpoena.htm https://cryptome.org/jya/jdbfiles.htm Indeed, it would be helpful to see the investigative files never introduced in court: some claim only 5% or less of "law enforcement senstive" are publicly released to avoid disclosing means and methods to assure conviction and chill others into lawful obedience, even if the judge remains awake during trial -- which in Mr. Bell's case, did not. Instead Judge Tanner (80+ years old), snoozed and periodically barked "Period." OTOH, some folks say once you see what is in such files, it may be prudent to let sleeping dogs lie. Shit your father, mother, friends, enemies, informants and shop-your-ass-to-save-their-own supporters say about you, reveal about you, lie about you, cover-up their own evildoing, well, now. No doubt, once the partially disclosed and redacted and doctored files are in hand, nothing stops you from culling them, doctoring them, fucking your tormentors by publishing your own version of FOIA/PA as the law and courts encourage official and unofficial liars to do. Admirable that Muckrock provides tutorials on how to do this, with gobs of documentary evidence far exceeding Snowden team's snow job. At 11:18 PM 7/31/2015, you wrote:
hey Jim,
you know what'd be fun? a FOIA/PA request to FBI for your documents. :)
if you're so inclined, see https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/privacyactdirect-19... for example wording of interest.
