Gawker’s Fox News mole served with search warrant, accused of grand larceny

I just got search warranted at 6:30am by a very polite crew from the DA's office. Took my iPhone, laptop, some old notebooks.

Look on the bright side, Joe. Getting fired for illegally duplicating Fox video that finally outed Mitt Romney as a rich guy means you were home when people from the DA’s office showed up.

According to the warrant, Fox News is apparently accusing me of grand larceny, amongst other things.

They're pretty worked up over a clip of Romney talking about his horses.

I should have done something more innocuous, like hacked a dead girl's phone and interfered with a police investigation.

Hope the DA shares your sense of humor, Joe.

Here’s a look at the legal case Fox News may have against Muto.
