So, my FOIA request has enabled me to draft another analogy about my prosecution. Here is what appears to have happened (succinctly):
In 2011, the Dutch National Police (DNP) illegally (in our country and theirs) hacked into websites and obtained identifying information about the users of those websites. The DNP and the DOJ didn’t know what to do with this illegally obtained information for a year until the DOJ/FBI devised a diabolical plan to “legally” re-obtain the DNP’s illegally obtained information in 2012. The illegally obtained information included IP Addresses and possible identities linked to those IP Addresses and what illegal information those IP Addresses accessed.
So, for the analogy, let’s substitute IP Addresses for physical street addresses and the names of the people associated with these addresses. And let’s substitute the information as boxes shipped via FEDEX to those physical addresses.
So, for example, let’s say that the DNP illegally determined that someone living at 123 Whatever Way in Wisconsin sent a package containing drugs to 456 Whatever Way in Nebraska in 2011. Let’s also say that the DNP notices that 123 sent a packages to 456 several times, thus establishing an illegal pattern of shipments.
The DOJ/FBI cannot use the DNP’s information to prosecute the actual people at 123 or 456 because none of the evidence will be admissible in Court, so they use “Parallel Construction” to prosecute the people at 123 & 456.
The problem with Parallel Construction is that it encourages government agents to fabricate evidence. For example, say 123 also ships legal products, like Pokemon cards. If the DOJ/FBI isn’t aware of that fact (or intentionally ignores it) many people 123 ships to will get swept up in their Parallel Construction dragnet.
Therefore, I now know that I was illegally swept up in their poorly executed dragnet; because, I have proven that they fabricated and falsified the evidence linking my IP address to TB2’s. So now I know why and how they did it. Now I just need the Eighth Circuit to agree…
