as chance would have it
I worked with a person who was a friend of one of the FBI agents involved, which is why this is posted anonymously.
After Mayfield was arrested, and then the case fell apart, the coworker mentioned that their friend had been on that case. The FBI agent's direct quote about the case? "He was guilty. People like that are always guilty of something."
Kinda of telling of how law enforcement views our civil rights these days. Not as an absolute line that cannot be crossed for the good of our democracy, but as an inconvenience that protects only the guilty.
