Here is the full, detailed list of all of the documents seized by the FBI from President Trump during their raid on Mar-a-Lago earlier this month. This list was just provided to the court and unsealed by the court yesterday. We are providing it both as a PDF and in plain text so that it can be searched. The Internet Patrol is not a political outlet, and we make this information available with no additional comment; we make it available because we have the resources and knowledge to do so, so that people who are searching for it can find it.

Late on Tuesday, August 31, 2022, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed its objections to Donald Trump’s Special Master request. The information in the document is the most damning yet, including an image of the pile of documents, accumulating on the floor as the FBI conducted their search, a document with the SECRET / SCI clearly visible. Below is that picture, and the full text of the filing as both a PDF and in plain text (we are in the process of adding the plain text, so refresh frequently until we are done). The Internet Patrol is not a political outlet, and we make this information available with no additional comment; we make it available because we have the resources and knowledge to do so, so that people who are searching for it can find it.

Here is the original PDF of the DOJ affidavit that was released today, August 26, 2022, and that was used to secure the search warrant that the FBI used to search Mar-a-Lago for documents and evidence in the investigation of Donald Trump. Among other things, the affidavit asserts that “As described above, evidence of the SUBJECT OFFENSES has been stored in multiple locations at the PREMISES.”

Here is the full text of the search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago this week, as well as the full text of the list of the documents that the FBI took, known as a “receipt” list. We are in the process of cleaning it up, however you can also find a PDF of the Donald Trump search warrant and receipt list at the bottom of this page. One of the things that we find very interesting is that there are two receipt lists, if you look at the item numbers in each list, taken together they are in numerical sequence, but broken up between the two lists. Note that the case ID in each is redacted. This suggests to us that there are two separate, but related, cases going on, some of the documents recovered satisfying the warrant with respect to one case, and others satisfying the warrant with respect to the other case.

California governor Jerry Brown signed a new California net neutrality law into law yesterday (yes, on a Sunday, September 30th), and on that same Sunday, hours later, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California’s new net neutrality law, saying that it “unlawfully imposes burdens on the Federal Government’s deregulatory approach to the Internet.”

In the latest round over the Feds’ effort to force Apple to help them break into the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone, and Apple’s refusal to do so, Apple has come out with both fists up. The Feds most recent court filing accuses that “Apple’s rhetoric is not only false, but also corrosive of the very institutions that are best able to safeguard our liberty and our rights.” In response, Apple’s general counsel, attorney Bruce Sewell, said during a press conference call that “…it seems like disagreeing with the Department of Justice means you must be evil and anti-American.” (Full text below.)

Last month the U.S. Justice department announced the takedown of the Darkode (get it? DarkCode – Dark Code?) international cybercrime ring, which the DOJ called one of the “gravest threats” to the security of online data. But what exactly does that mean to you, the average user sitting at home behind your computer?

The Justice Department has released the results of its investigations into both the shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, and into the Ferguson Police Department itself, along with an online statement regarding its investigation into the shooting, and the atmosphere of fear and racism, in Ferguson, Missouri. Here is an overview, and links to the reports online.

Police selfies, cop car selfies, and the Duck of Justice (DOJ) all feature on Bangor, Maine PD’s Facebook page. And while you may think that cop and police car selfies are unusual, not to mention the Duck, what is perhaps most unusual is that this small town (population 33,000) police department’s Facebook page has over 22,000 “Likes”!

The U.S. Federal government’s case against Apple for price-fixing is under way. Last year the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accused Apple and five ebook publishers of attempting to fix the prices of ebooks, claiming that there was a conspiracy to affect the e-book market. Here’s an explanation of the law suit against Apple.

As the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) became more and more flooded with patent applications, what with the increase in emerging technologies, the dot.com bubble, the growth of Silicon Valleys, etc., to name but a few factors, they seemed to be unable to keep up with the glut of new patent applications and, many believe, their approval process became “approve them all, and let the courts sort them out.” Sort of the bureaucratic version of “kill them all and let God sort them out.” And to extend the analogy, a new St. Peter was born. Only, these entities were far from saints – in fact, they are trolls. Oh, excuse us – they are “Patent Assertion Entities”. Now, to be fair, there is a place for the legitimate Patent Assertion Entity (or “PAE”) – which is an organization whose business model is primarily the purchasing of patents and then the assertion of the rights attendant and pursuant to those patents. But many such outfits really do deserve the term “patent troll”.

In a lovely “we told you so” moment, we can report that two key Federal agencies – both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) – are opposing the planned merger of AT and T and T-Mobile. We predicted Federal opposition to the merge when AT and T first announced their plans to takeover T-Mobile, and the Feds are opposing the merging for much the same reasons that we said that they would.

If the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has its way, the proposed merger between AT and T and T-Mobile will be vetoed, because it will create a monopoly in violation of antitrust law. According to papers filed by the DOJ in Federal court, “AT and T’s elimination of T-Mobile as an independent, low-priced rival would remove a significant competitive force from the market.”

Why yes, we did, not two weeks ago, tell you of a possible T-Mobile merger with Sprint Nextel. However, it seems that AT&T had other ideas, and has made a flat-out aquisition bid for T-Mobile USA, to the tune of $39 billion. You just know that the resulting love child – IF the deal is allowed to go through, as it creates one hell of a monopoly – will have to be called, even if not officially, AT&T&T-Mobile, or, just, AT&T&T.

The papers which underpinned the investigation into the anthrax scare and incidents of 2001 which included the death of five people, and which ultimately lead to the suicide of lead suspect Bruce Ivins last week, have not only been unsealed, but in record time they have been put on the Internet and made available to the public on the Department of Justice (DOJ) website.
