Audio dropped from his arrest. Problem is, Josh was in a truck with an investigator, and apparently the Second before the investigator turned his recording device on on his chest, Josh turned to him and asked "Is This about Cheese pizza? " So unforch we only have the investigator's word that Josh said that.
During testimony about obtaining and executing the search warrant at Josh Duggar's business on Nov. 8, 2019, prosecutors played excerpts from an interview Duggar gave the investigators
people.com
The audio played Wednesday showed Duggar to be agreeable and responsive, to a point. But he was also vigilant — careful, in his words, not to say too much to the police
. "I've watched my friends answer things and they get 'em," he said in the recording. "Statutes are broad," he added.
Hmmmmmm I wonder if this is about that Weismann guy that courted Jana that got busted for impregnating a 13yo or something. (One of his sister's is said to be courting his brother or something atm)
Faulker said on the stand that Duggar was "calm," with "no visible reaction" after agents arrived with their warrant.
Answering questions, Duggar — whom prosecutors say used sophisticated techniques to mask his criminality, while his attorneys say it was well beyond his expertise —
detailed how the Wi-Fi worked at the car lot: how he had "daisy-chained" the routers, including one recently re-configured, to expand network coverage.
He also said he was familiar with peer-to-peer networks and that all three of his devices had the software, which prosecutors say is telling because such a tool was used to access child pornography on the desktop in his office.
!!SPOILER it was behind a pic of his family on his desktop apparently
This, though, was strange, the HSI agent testified: While discussing torrenting (a kind of peer-to-peer network), Duggar mentioned the Tor browser, which is used for various reasons — including illegal ones — because it greatly masks Internet activity. Prosecutors noted it was infamous for its connection to the so-called "Dark Web," but Duggar told the agents he
was using it for his business, to upload photos.
"I would not think the 'Dark Web' would be the best place to do that," Faulker said on the stand.
In audio from his interview in 2019, Duggar sounded confused after mentioning Tor. So did the agents. They wondered, "Does he mean torrent?" Duggar said a friend recommended that he download Tor.
"
I guess I better not say if I don't understand … I don't see any difference," he said in the audio.
At this point in the interview, the agents explained why they had really arrived: to investigate child exploitation.
"So is that what you're saying is going on?" Duggar said. "What is the scope?" he said, adding, "Is something going on on my devices?"
"In the scope of your investigation, I guess you'll narrow it down … [and] know if it's any of the devices here," he said.
The agents asked Duggar: Had there been any red flags before today? Any reason to worry something accidentally might have happened? "Not at all," he said.
And once the agents were specific about their suspicions as to Duggar's property, explaining how a device on his IP address was sharing sexual abuse material, he started to ask questions until the agents advised that "at this point it's probably best if you just listen."
In later questioning, according to the audio, Duggar said he was wary of incriminating
himself in any way: "I'm not saying that I'm guilty or not."
Under cross-examination, Faulker, like Detective Kalmer who testified earlier Wednesday, faced questions about why he didn't pursue the case more quickly and investigate more broadly, including at the home where they initially served Duggar's search warrant.
Faulkner said there was a record-keeping error on the part of the internet service provider that initially led them to the wrong address with their warrant. But Gelfand, Duggar's attorney, contended that they had already narrowed in on Duggar because of his high profile.
As to the timeline, Faulkner said that while Kalmer initially relayed her tip to him in June 2019 — a
month after first connecting with the suspicious device on Duggar's internet — he was busy with a higher-priority throughout that summer.
Separately, Gelfand led Faulkner through some photos from the search, showing Duggar's car lot including the main office — a metal, tollbooth-sized building that fit a desk and two chairs. Gelfand called it a "fishbowl" surrounded by windows (though two of them had shades pulled) and noted that the desktop computer in question had a program and labels on it indicating it was a shared computer for business purposes.
But as the prosecution argued earlier Wednesday, law enforcement believes there is convincing evidence
tying Duggar himself to the desktop at the dates and times that the child pornography was downloaded, including a pattern of text messages and photos from his phone on two key dates that place him at the car lot and sometimes right next to the desktop around the time the illegal material was accessed.
While Gelfand, in his argument, called it a "mystery" not yet solved, with forensic evidence giving "more questions than answers" and authorities having buried "their head in the sand"
@Techpriest I am boomer, I very much appreciate your post, can u elaborate on this setup? Does Josh actually have a argument that the system there was so open that it could have been someone else?
Gee, I hope JimBoob has a "safer setup" at his house. Or his offices. Or maybe he just lets his stupid millennial sons handle all his IT needs.
The sun is all over this and reminded us of the adoption of their 20th kid a while back, a nephew of some kind from what I understand. I don't think any of this Josh stuff affects that tho.
Lastly, wasn't John David the Duggar that went to Florida to help with whatever disaster that was, wore a gun, pissed people off, stole gas, and food, did nothing and acted totally entitled like Josh? I remember some juicy tidbits from Reddit. I can't imagine him being the gentle brother, hes just as spoiled and manipulative and skilled at lying as his dad. So maybe he doesn't need to resort to violence. (I think the majority of men from fundie fams are sociopaths anyways)
Based on who lives in the area and has daughters married to Duggar sons, it’s either Joe, Josiah or Jedidiah’s father in law. The other wives families aren’t in Arkansas.
Edit- The Reddit poster disappeared, deleted her account and all the summary posts she had made. Archive everything.
