I have great respect for @emptywheel but think it's highly unlikely Penn was working (at great risk) with the feds.https://twitter.com/bmaz/status/686310914795024384 …

@emptywheel@TimothyS That's the question I'm pondering: what legal argument could be made against Penn, if any. -
@emptywheel@TimothyS And re 'spiny' — a person Chapo didn't KNOW — with a brace on and not frisked thoroughly? No way. -
@nihonmama Unless he's just an unbelievably ballsy agent who preempted question by showing it. Done while not yet in Chapo custody@TimothyS -
@emptywheel@TimothyS IDK, but that jumped off the page for me. Think about it: confiscate all elec devices but not check the back brace? -
@emptywheel@TimothyS That makes no sense if their job is to protect Chapo. But would make perfect sense if those guards had been flipped. -
