Why Bevin's and Beshear's botched seizure of Grimes' computer is so troubling

1. Dunno much about this, but the article mentions a feud between the...

Beshear and Grimes families, which could explain a lot. The Hatfield-McCoy feud was half in Kentucky, and that one lasted 150 years.

Republican ratfucking explains even more.

Anyway, I am issued a gummint laptop for my work, with the explicit warnings that everything on it is private and cannot be used for personal uses. Confidential data is readily accessible, but can only be used on the job. And at any time the laptop can be ordered to be returned.

So, I don't really see the problem with state agents impounding state owned computers in state offices. There are gray areas and perhaps a warrant would put some light on them. And the impounding could be more for political than legal purposes.

Anyway, it's a mess.
