What the Hell Was This?

The media forced entry into the California jihadists apartment and rifled the entire thing:

• Apparently CNN, MSNBC, and other outfits simply went inside the apartment and began showing live images of passports and other documents left in the place.
  
  This is bad for the media. It's also terrible for the cops and FBI -- why was the crime scene left unattended?
  
  Of course, it's bad for America too; if anything left behind could make a case against any third parties, those prosecutions are now jeopardized, because the defense can argue, very plausibly, that there is no chain of custody of the evidence and anything found on the site could have been tampered with or planted.

The lead agency appears to be the FBI. They cleared the bomb-making factory, but left behind mountains of paperwork, passports, correspondence, a paper shredder full of documents, in effect a potential treasure trove of information that could plausibly uncover other plots and terrorists. Now? Chain-of-evidence problems negate any usable intelligence that might have been discovered.

This as information comes out that the weapons used were purchased legally, straw purchased in other cases, that the female half lied on her application by giving a false town of origin, belonged to a radical mosque tied to terrorism in Pakistan, etc, etc.

But hey, Sparklefarts says the government can properly screen 100,000 "Syrians" and guarantee they won't be radicalized murderers-in-waiting. Trust him.
