In a filing, prosecutors have said that they are currently extracting data from locked phones seized from over 100 alleged rioters:

In new filings, prosecutors told a court in Washington, DC that within the coming weeks, they expect to extract all data from the seized cellphones of more than 100 allegedly violent protesters arrested during the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Prosecutors also said that this search is validated by recently issued warrants. [...] "All of the Rioter Cell Phones were locked, which requires more time-sensitive efforts to try to obtain the data," Jennifer Kerkhoff, an assistant United States attorney, wrote.

    Oh, really?

    How about, you are partisan, and you choose which storied to believe, and which to not believe. Soros is dirty, like the Koch brothers are dirty. Soros stirs the cesspool in the US, the Koch brothers stir the cesspool in Ukraine and eastern Europe.

    WTF did you think people DO with all that money? Leave it in the bank to draw interest? Soros amused me after Trump's election, when he lost some billions, betting against the market. He tried the same thing that more "conservative" investors did when Obama was elected, and lost.

    But, whatever, you continue believing that Soros is benevolent. I know that he would sell all of us to the highest bidder, just like the Koch brothers, if he could get away with it.
