[edit] No it wasn't. My brain is mush
In the Harold this morning: Dotcom explanation won't wash: experts
TL;DR Lawyers call bullshit on law change excuse for GCSB spying; say Dotcom only ever entered the country under the new law.

Python?

And so the Teapot Tape comes back to haunt Key.

I know Neazor personally, though not as well as I used to.(Went to school with his son etc). Mind like a steel trap and scrupulous to a fault. All in all, a man I trust to speak the truth. If he had discussed those instances with Key, he would not have said he could not recall them. Key lies any time he thinks he can get away with it.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: Questions and Answers, in reply to DexterX,
There's enough craziness going on with this that you don't have to make up scenarios. Cockup is far more likely than deep, dark conspiracy.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: Questions and Answers, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
GCSB staff other than the Director are, I think, anonymous. They could announce an un-named manager has resigned without us knowing if that person even existed
That's the NZSIS you're thinking of, where it is illegal to name staff publicly other than the Director. No such requirement for anonymity applies to the GCSB.

Legal Beagle: Kim Dotcom: Questions and Answers, in reply to Steve Withers,
That would need to be determined by the actual trial. The accusation is enough to warrant extradition if an indictment for such a crime is committed.

I'm disappointed by Neazor's report. He's absolved the GCSB on a very spurious ground. While KDC's visa status was first one thing then the other, by the time the surveillance occurred, he was most definitely covered by permanent residency. Heads will not roll, and they should. Even Bill English has dodged this bullet.

Good analysis, as usual.
Me, I'm just stocking up on popcorn. The show has only just begun.

A shot to the heart, if the Harold actually had a heart...
