It’s a great interview and unpacks all the ridiculousness that led to the Marion police potentially illegal raid of a newspaper.
The “criminal matter” was referred to the Kansas Bureau of Investigations (KBI) and also Kris Kobach in a weird position; way to go, Marion Police: https://kansasreflector.com/2023/08/17/kobach-kbi-looking-into-possible-data-breach-in-kansas-newspaper-case/
Marion County prosecutor has already withdrawn the charges after it was referred to the KBI:
