Disappointing: people chasing the nothingburger of Secret Service working the #AaronSwartz case. Read SS PR’s & 18USC1030, folks. (1/2)
@grumpybozo I'm not surprised at all that SS HAS jurisdiction. What is noteworthy is (non)disclosure about when they owned it.

@emptywheel It's not unusual for them to come in at arrest time. They're best at analyzing seized equipment/code not body-chasing -
@grumpybozo ...3) there are indications they were fishing for other information. My issues are abt standard law enforcement BS they pulled. -
@emptywheel “standard” is right. initial B&E or trespass charge to stop activity & seize evidence is common. Often the only option. -
@grumpybozo You're arguing that it makes sense for SS to NOT be involved in 3 months of data analysis, for starters. -
@emptywheel I’m saying I’ve seen SS brought in late, even after arrest. This isn’t odd. SS has to be convinced a case is worthy of them.
