asciilifeform: typical street tard here still believes that 'lawyers are loaded', and even programmers, etc

asciilifeform: aha, the whole 'digital evidence' edifice.
asciilifeform: 'arrested on charges stemming from the porn in August 2017'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in related lulz, re the puzzler of 'why schulte sat around in usa waiting to be picked up', apparently , per the volkischer beobachter, 'Schulte had long been a suspect of investigators exploring the leak, but before Monday, he had been held on separate child pornography charges.
