      Sadly, it is real.

      e: and in case anyone reading this doesn’t get the implication, notice where the only power outlet in this room is (the white cable leading across the ceiling and along the piping to the office printer, which is the whitish thing at the right of this photo).

      It’s basically the only thing besides boxes of documents in this storage room. It was plugged in and being used, not stored. This is so much worse than the toilet photo, yet everyone I show this to hasn’t seen it.

      e2: Oh, and don’t forget, this was the ‘holdout’ room, to which maintenance supposedly ‘lost’ the key the first couple of times the feds showed up, then right when they got their ‘no, really’ warrant, it was supposedly flooded by a faulty pool pump. That’s this room. Fuck, in all the insanity, I’d forgot that last bit.

          This was in Florida so actually yes.

          Also, the boxes are still there. After the case was dismissed when he got reelected, they returned everything.

              Yes, but this wasn’t a natural flood: it was caused by the in-ground pool next to this basement room, apparently because of an ‘error’ made by a maintenance person the same day they learnt about the warrant.

              It affected this room (you can see some moisture on the floor and staining on the nearest box) plus, crucially, the server room adjacent, in a clear attempt to destroy their digital storage. It was called out in the court documents.

              This wasn’t a natural flood, and was suspiciously convenient.
