My friend I referred to in Conway owns a tractor, lawnmower, ATV, motorcycle, and boat business. The FBI came storming into his dealership one morning without warning and even told his employees that they had to leave. They did not tell him what they were looking for. They just started going through his files and taking all his records. It sounds like a scene from Nazi Germany when Hitler took over. Obama is clearly a communist and I look for a lot more of this in the next 3 years. He used the IRS to try to shut down the Tea Party and he's gotten away with it. His healthcare plan has very little to do with your health, it's about gaining control of your life. Should be an interesting interview on Sunday with Bill O'Reiley just before the Super Bowl.
The crisis they created in order to create this monster plan was that there were too many uninsured people (which, of course, has nothing to do with actual health care). When the March 2014 deadline finally gets here, there will be more people without health insurance than when they passed the stupid law. And, just wait till the employer mandate finally kicks in. Should have this year but the pres ignored the constitution and changed the law on his own.
What is sad is, anytime a person is arrested or investigated, it is my first thought. We have so many laws and regulations now that we all can be prosecuted. As Josef Stalin's secret police chief Lavrenti Beria put it: Find me the man, and I'll find the crime.
[i pulled this quote from somewhere, but I can't remember where - I probably just committed a crime myself].
I highly recommend this article in the Columbia Law Review by Glenn Reynolds:
Ham Sandwich Nation: Due Process When Everything Is a Crime

And also this article about what China did to stop opposition voices on the internet:Prosecutors themselves understand just how much discretion they enjoy. As Tim Wu recounted in 2007, a popular game in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York was to name a famous person—Mother Teresa, or John Lennon—and decide how he or she could be prosecuted:
It would then be up to the junior prosecutors to figure out a plausible crime for which to indict him or her. The crimes were not usually rape, murder, or other crimes you’d see on Law & Order but rather the incredibly broad yet obscure crimes that populate the U.S. Code like a kind of jurisprudential minefield: Crimes like “false statements” (a felony, up to five years), “obstructing the mails” (five years), or “false pretenses on the high seas” (also five years). The trick and the skill lay in finding the more obscure offenses that fit the character of the celebrity and carried the toughest sentences. The, result, however, was inevitable: “prison time.”7

Orwell was right in substance. He just missed the timing by 30 years.In August, Charles Xue, an outspoken venture capitalist with 12 million followers on Weibo, was arrested for allegedly soliciting prostitutes and paraded on Chinese state television, in what was seen as a thinly-veiled warning to other prominent Weibo users.

Appears Rogers was or ended up working with the FBI:
At some point, Subject A (Rogers) began cooperating with the government and conducted recorded undercover meetings with Allen. Excerpts from recordings indicate Allen coached Subject A on how to mislead the FBI.
"Mr. Allen tried to ensnare John Rogers in Mr. Allen's own criminal conduct to try to get a lesser sentence," Hendrix (Rogers' attorney) said. "We immediately contacted the FBI and agreed to assist its agents in investigating Mr. Allen's obstruction of justice. Mr. Allen's plan backfired."
