The FBI generally doesn't raid the homes of people who have done nothing wrong. You'll have to forgive me for thinking it should still go to trial.
- Yes please tell me more about how cops never get anything wrong...
  
  When Oakland protests the police, they’re not exactly marching against the FBI’s white collar crimes division.
- They raided her home, which she shares with two other people. We don't even know which of the three was the intended target.
  
  Last Thursday, FBI agents carried boxes out of the home Thao shares with her son and partner.
  
  People always forget the teenage son. I was all about waste management corruption when I was that age.
They also searched a recycle center presumably for documents that were disposed of that way
- No, the connection there is the Duong family
  
  What’s their deal? Seems like everything I’ve looked at gives like zero good info on this whole ordeal
