    Oh snap, I hadn’t seen that detail reported yet.

    Elsewhere I see:

    The affidavits authorizing the searches and seizures at the paper and the publisher’s house were signed by Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, and while her signature was dated Aug. 11, the court did not receive the affidavits until Monday, Aug. 14 — three days after the search was conducted.

    That’s very suspect.
