        How many Apple devices is reasonable in a condo you've recently moved into? Is 20 a lot? Is the number higher if you have 3 passports and 9 antique rugs?

        Pretty unlikely govt would argue they’re not going to use iPod evidence if they might for different charge.

        They didn't argue that. They argued they weren't going to use iPod evidence "in this case."

        I'm saying it's not likely they would say "and btw, the issue is irrelevant b/c we're not going to use anything from the ipod in this case" if they might use it in a different case against Manafort where they'd face the same suppression argument.

        I get what you're saying. But they weren't ceding that point in any case.

        Maybe he doesn't want it to leak that he listens exclusively to bootlegged BeeGee songs?

        Seems more of a Huey Lewis and the News fan, but not the earlier, more new wave stuff.

        Exploring (& exposing) once again Marcy where others fail to look. I particularly enjoyed "be of most interest: devices that could be used for encrypted comms that would not show up on cell records." ;)

        maybe he’s worried he’ll get popped for pirating music too. You got a license for that Metallica album, son?

        Many people used iPods as portable storage before USB flash drives were cheap. I'd guess there are files on there, not just media.

        I suppose it's *possible* those are just not synced and he's fucking LOST without his workout mix.

        He used 7 iPods to record (incriminating) audio conversations? Transferred via MBA and iMac onto SD cards?

        Aren’t IPods just iPhones without the phone part? I mean IPods are essentially full fledged computers.
