Last year behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson were publicly leaked.
In one leaked video, Tucker Carlson talked about how he was triggered by Dominion’s lawyer who he called a “slimy motherf*cker” during his deposition.
These leaked videos actually made everyone love Tucker even more.

The Tampa Bay Times last year reported the FBI searched the home of Florida Democrat and lefty journalist Tim Burke after videos of Tucker Carlson were leaked and posted online.

Tim Burke was indicted on 14 federal crimes for hacking Fox News.
CNN reported:

Timothy Burke, a former journalist, has been charged with 14 federal crimes over the alleged hack and leaking of a series of unflattering behind-the-scenes clips of Tucker Carlson, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday.
In the grand jury indictment, Burke was charged with one count of conspiracy, six counts of accessing a protected computer without authorization, and seven counts of intercepting or disclosing wire, oral or electronic communications. The 45-year-old was arrested Thursday morning and was expected to appear in federal court in Tampa, Florida, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The charges against Burke, who denied breaking the law through his lawyers, followed a Justice Department criminal hacking probe opened last year after previously unaired videos from Carlson’s former Fox News show surfaced online. In one unaired clip posted by Vice in 2022, Kanye West was seen making antisemitic remarks to Carlson. The following year, after Carlson was fired from Fox News, the progressive watchdog Media Matters posted embarrassing behind-the-scenes footage of Carlson making crude remarks while joking with staff and denigrating the Fox Nation streaming service.

This is important because it shows that law DOES exist outside of Washington DC or New York courtrooms.

Of course the only reason it was pursued "with all vigor" is that the Murdoch Empire was threatened. They apparently made their case in "local" FBI jurisdictions - who apparently are not entirely "with" the regime.

Burke's transgressions were not limited to Tucker Carlson. He apparently had other "informational irons in the fire" with Sports hacking.

The federal case against Tampa media figure Tim Burke, explained

An indictment alleges that Burke improperly accessed broadcast video streams from media companies and a major sports league. But questions remain.

It wasn’t just Fox News​

The indictment alleges that Burke improperly accessed communications from “The National Sports League,” which the indictment identifies as “a professional sports league founded in New York City, New York.” The league is made up of teams in the U.S. and Canada, prosecutors said. There’s also a reference to “NSL Brazil” in the indictment.

The indictment described it as “one of the major sports leagues in North America,” meaning it could be the National Basketball Association, which was founded in New York and has an entity called “NBA Brazil.” The National Hockey League, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer all are headquartered in New York as well.

You hack sports franchises, and you hack "motherhood and apple pie."

Charged or indicted? Sure. Prosecuted even. I can see it. Found guilty? Doubtful.

However, now IS the time that the left is going to start throwing many of their people under the bus. Burke didn't have someone's permission to do something or wouldn't share so it could be used by someone. It doesn't matter what side you are on if you hack the wrong person(s) off.

I'll be far more interest in this if he is:
A. Convicted
B. Gets tossed into prison.

I doubt the first and I refuse to believe the second. The worst that will happen is probation and a slap on the wrist.
