Why is this story in the Politics Forum? What is political about it?

At first, I took this story at face value.

But now with more info, I see that they used 2006 payment accounts with a suspect company as the basis for a 2025 search warrant, which allegedly found a folder with verboten photos. Is that correct?

That is fishy. I'm grossed out by anyone viewing child porn -- I don't think it's a victimless crime.

But where is the chatroom activity and the allegations of soliciting minors and stuff like that? I hope there is more here, or else they should be prioritizing the more dangerous offenders.

One does have to wonder about the politics at play here.

Because DOJ has been politicized, the allegations are from 2006.

He was a video editor not a managing editor developing stories or direction of the paper.

If true, pedophiles work in all types of jobs. I dont think it has much reflection on the Post one way or the other.

The computer age has brought to light what a disturbingly high percentage of men have gross tendencies. Because now there is digital evidence. 40 years ago I never ever thought this would be so common but it’s been decades now of this happening with seemingly normal people. Before computer I would have said it was like 1 in a thousand or less. Now I think it’s probably more like 1 in a hundred. It’s distressing.

Probably because the nutso twitter guy said to investigate WAPO. That makes zero sense if an individual had porn on his computer (I’m not clicking into the link).

Sad if true, but frankly I expect to see a lot more of this in the future. I lived in China. If they want you out of business or jail, they’ll find a way.

He had a Mac computer at home with child porn. That’s the charge. He’s been at the paper 18 years and was part of a Pulitzer Prize team who won for investigating reporting.

So gross thinking of men doing this.

Likely the result of the Epstein files.

If everything in the article is true he deserves everything that’s coming to him, but it’s interesting that it was discovered in 2006 and no one did anything until now.

I don’t think that date is correct. The videos are dated on his computer as 2022/2023. The 2006 reference was on the DOJ webpage referencing a program started by the AG in 2006.

Fact is, and not knowing anything about this guy's political preferences, GOP produces a much larger supply of pedophiles on a regular basis.

Yes, of course this is what you'd assume. Couldn't possibly be that an editor of a liberal newspaper had child porn on his computer. You people... disgusting.

Either you are an idiot or you are illiterate. The Washington Post hasn't been liberal since Bezos took over.

Like I said, I didn’t read the article. Why would WAPO cover it up and who’s breaking it now? Truly sick for anyone to cover up crimes against minors and if happens over and over again, in every kind of institution.

That’s the first thing that came to my mind too. Crazy world we live in.

No, the photographic evidence is clear. Look at his picture. He has pedo physignomy.

Oh, is this a science now? Or just straight racism against a mixed race man?!
