If there’s child pornish stuff there, and his daughter posted it where others could get it, she may want to lawyer up.

That reminds me of workaholics when someone painted ‘rape van’ on the side of their van. When other people asked them why he said ‘its so nobody bothers me. Nobody is going to break into a van that says rape on it.’

I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve heard his daughter was in an abusive relationship, so her father used that as evidence of why his daughter should have her kids taken away from her and possibly put in foster care.
Granted, if she failed to protect her kids from abuse I can see why (I’d want the grandkids taken away if my kid didn’t protect them from abuse). But that could damage a relationship.

That’s a good point. I haven’t heard anything about pictures. I’m not sure about the legality of text stuff.

I thought the GOP or one of its entities sued to prevent the release of these files on the basis that they’re protected by attorney-client privilege. What happened with that?
