Maybe this should be a call to all federal law enforcement agencies, to review their own security practices and means of investigation and capabilities they have at their disposal.
All that I ask is that this jerk be thrown into Gen Pop, with some of the folks he helped convict or gather evidence on! How much do you want to bet if this were someone off the streets they would be strung out to dry.
Another great decision by our court system...Unfortunately this got little if no press...
