[WNYT] HT AOSHQ. 48 Hr Rule?
Agency spokeswoman Sarah Ruane confirmed that they were searching the home, but would not provide details on the investigation — per standard policy. Ritter was the chief weapons inspector in Iraq. He was found guilty in 2011 of engaging in a sexually explicit web chat with a person in Pennsylvania who was pretending to a be a 15-year-old girl, according to Reuters. Ritter was actually corresponding with a detective for the Barrett Township Police Department.
*cough* Hunter Biden *cough* Ritter said the search warrant allowed agents to look for electronic equipment in his home. "They were clearly interested in communications that I’ve had with people related to the work that I do," Ritter said. "That’s all I can say about it. It’s up to them to review it." Ritter maintains an active online presence, writing articles critical of U.S. foreign policy toward Russia and appearing on podcasts friendly to his views. He said he has nothing to hide and that he cooperated with Sherlocks. "There’s no doubt that I’m being targeted because of statements I’ve made about U.S. policy in Ukraine. I’m being targeted because I have made an effort to try and improve relations between the United States and Russia to bring about arms control to bring about peace," Ritter said. He said he has no ill will toward the agents who carried out the search but that "I do have complaints against the personnel who caused this to happen. This has a chilling effect on free speech, the idea that you have a free speech right in America but when you execute in a manner that the U.S. takes exception to and they launch a search warrant, that’s an intimidation factor.
