Another angle I haven’t seen mentioned yet in either this thread or the Pit thread: After she was fired, she continued, or may have continued, to be in contact with employees at the agency, who may have been feeding information to her. Jones and Filipkowski suggest that the cops seized all her equipment in order to do forensic study to determine who at the agency has been talking to her. They will come for those people next. From the [WaPo article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12/09/florida-republican-resigns-raid/): > [@](#): > > But the raid on Jones’s home was the last straw for Filipkowski, who said he thought it was an aggressive response to the alleged breach and that its broad sweep was a thinly veiled attempt to determine which state employees were in touch with Jones and intimidate them into silence. > > [. . .] > > Jones has continued to speak out on her own behalf since the raid, telling CNN on Wednesday that she was concerned officials would use the electronic devices they seized from her to identify state employees leaking information to her as whistleblowers. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/florida-police-raid-home-of-former-state-covid-19-data-scientist/927543)._
