How you view the importance of this search warrant being evacuated at mr. clark s house. it wasn t clear from much of the day today whether it was in fact a warrant, whether this was indeed federal agents, weather but it seems pretty clear now that this was part of some sort of criminal federal investigation. absolutely. i know that the word raid gets used frequently. but it s actually a search warrant, which means a judge found probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime would be found in that location. and so, i think that s a very important development, in a criminal case. and the tie that this other revelation we had today, that ken klukowski was the one who wrote this letter and gave it ken klukowski was the one who wrote this letter and gave it to clarke, for him to push through doj, and that klukowski had ties the eastman,, i think brings us threads of the conspiracy together. and also note, rachel, that this was the hearing that was supposed to take place over a ....
