- apalmer 13y agoIts like: 1) Government Employee A uses wire taps, NSA, any evidence finding method at all including inadmissable evidence, illegally aquired evidence, or classified means to collect data 2) Government Employee A anonymously calls Government Employee B and gives them specific actionable tip that Government Employee B is aware is already vetted by a Government Employee and hence is highly reliable 3) Government Employee B uses specific tip to gather further evidence, then using all available evidence sources constructs an alternative 'plausible' but false way that the evidence trail was generated, and presents this to the jury as truth... the prosecutor and judge may or may not be made aware of the true investigation/evidence trail 4) Government officially endorses this method as standard policy
