[Rolling Stone [a]] FBI Raids Star ABC News Producer James Gordon Meek's Home
The first thing Meek's neighbor John Antonelli noticed that morning was the black utility vehicle with blacked out windows blocking traffic in both directions on Columbia Pike. It was just before dawn on that brisk April day, and self-described police-vehicle historian Antonelli was about to grab a coffee at a Starbucks before embarking on his daily three-mile walk. He inched closer to get a better vantage, when he saw an olive-green Lenco BearCat G2, an armored tactical vehicle often employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, among other law-enforcement agencies. A few Arlington County cruisers surrounded the jaw-dropping scene, but all of the other vehicles were unmarked, including the BearCat. Antonelli counted at least 10 heavily armed personnel in the group. None bore anything identifying which agency was conducting the raid. After just 10 minutes, the operation inside the Siena Park apartment complex -- a six-story, upscale building for D.C. professionals, with rents fetching about $2,000 to $3,000 a month -- was over. ======= rest: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fbi-raid-abc-news_producer-1234613619/ [a] requires a fucking "app" to open it. Nope, Rolling Stone, not d'l/ing some third party piece of garbage of unknown provenance just to read your clip.
