White House sending social media teams with FBI on some arrests in D.C., sources say (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House has dispatched social media teams alongside FBI agents executing arrest warrants in the nation's capital to generate videos that promote U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on crime in the District of Columbia, according to two people briefed on the matter.

The highly unusual arrangement runs afoul of longstanding Justice Department norms which seek to insulate criminal investigations from political influence.

It could hamstring prosecutors' ability to try their cases by generating pre-trial publicity and raise constitutional questions about suspects' rights to privacy in cases involving arrests carried out in non-public areas, legal experts say.

1. Please

Proceed. This will just end in most of these cases being thrown out, even if they are legitimate arrests and not just made up bullshit. Also just goes to show that it is all for show. If they were serious about cracking down on crime they wouldn't risk their prosecutions.

2. Somebody cited this in the newsbit about Bret BAIER videoed being stopped and ticketed.

But the BAIER video was taken by a neighborhood business employee who then posted it with mocking and sarcasm aimed at BAIER/KRASNOV. Sometimes a bit of paranoia happens.
