aspect of Horowitz's report that the investigation was lawfully predicated.
and I'll put that in simple terms:
let's say Alex meets a guy named George in a bar one night and after a few drinks George tells Alex that he met some guy named Joe and Joe told him that Vlad is running a dope house and has a couple kilos of coke that he's going to distribute.
So Alex goes to the police department and says to the officer hey i met this guy George who told me a guy named Joe told him a guy named Vlad was a drug dealer.
do you think the officer's first step would be or should be to start an investigation into George?
if you do, I can assure you that you'd be a terrible investigator. The correct investigative step would be to simply talk to George and interview him and possibly use him as a CHS against Joe, who at this point is also just a purveyor of a rumor. The best practice would be to interview Joe to target Vlad.
what would be even more stupid is to target George's boss.
to put it bluntly, this was a game of telephone and the "predication" for the investigation is wafer-thin if not non-existent.
