FBI misled Judge in search warrant | Eastern NC Now

The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles misled the judge who signed a search warrant that led to more than $86 million in cash being seized, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In the search warrant affidavit, assistant U.S. attorney Andrew Brown wrote, “The warrants authorize the seizure of the nests of the boxes themselves, not their contents.”

United States Magistrate Judge Steve Kim approved the search warrant, but explicitly limited the scope of the search.

“This warrant does not authorize a criminal search or seizure of the contents of the safety deposit boxes,” Kim wrote in the warrant.

Despite pledging not to seize the contents of the private storage boxes, and Judge Kim’s direct order not to, law enforcement ultimately took the items found inside the seized storage boxes.

The FBI agents also violated the bureau’s policies on taking inventory of seized items.

“Under FBI policy, it said, inspection of each box would “extend no further than necessary to determine ownership.” But agents’ inspection of the boxes went substantially further — just as the government planned, according to FBI records filed in court,” the Times reported.

FBI agents broke the law, so who is going to jail?  Not hold my breath on anything being done to any of the agents, that is for sure.
