Police examine bag found in bin near Rebekah Brooks's home
I'm sorry if this was already posted. I didn't see it anywhere. It looks pretty juicy :) :

Detectives are examining a computer, paperwork and a phone found in a bin near the riverside London home of Rebekah Brooks, the former chief executive of News International.

The Guardian has learned that a bag containing the items was found in an underground car park in the Design Centre at the exclusive Chelsea Harbour development on Monday afternoon.

The car park, under a shopping centre, is yards from the gated apartment block where Brooks lives with her husband, a former racehorse trainer and close friend of David Cameron.

It is understood the bag was handed in to security at around 3pm, and that shortly afterwards Brooks's husband, Charlie, arrived and tried to reclaim it. He was unable to prove the bag was his and the security guard refused to release it.

Instead, it is understood that the security guard called the police. In less than half an hour, two marked police cars and an unmarked forensics car are said to have arrived at the scene.

1. I haven't seen it before
"a computer, paperwork and a phone" and Brook's hubby trying, too late, to get it back?

Very juicy!

3. Hopefully, it contains the video of Murdoch and Ailes worshipping satan.
Or plotting the takeover of America through the use of Fox News and other News Corp outlets while pissing on a picture of Ronald Reagan.

Then we might finally be rid of their evil.

Could give away everything! Maybe even what Murdoch knew! :)

7. That would be a beautiful thing!

Things that special only come once or twice in a lifetime.

6. I throw computers and phones away all the time!

Especially right after being arrested and being released on bail. :)

The lesson here, is if you have incriminating evidence on your computer, melt it in acid! Don't ever throw it away in a public dumpster!

8. After police watch the surveillance video, it'll be interesting to find out if either of the couple

put it in the bin. For Charlie to have known that someone had picked the items up from the bin, either he learned about it through sources connected to an informant to the police or he's telling the truth -- & his story doesn't sound credible:

Wilson said Charlie Brooks had left the bag with a friend who was returning it, but dropped it in the wrong part of the garage. When asked how the bag ended up in a bin he replied: "The suggestion is that a cleaner thought it was rubbish and put it in the bin." Wilson added: "Charlie was looking for it together with a couple of the building staff.

10. If the plan for returning it was just to drop it in a particular place - it could mean that it is
nothing of importance???

? What is an appropriate emoticon?

The sequence sounds like it is this:

He makes an arrangement for a bag and camera to be dropped off at a specific location in the building garage.

He goes to retrieve the bag and its not there.

The security guard helps him look.

Then, the bag and camera are found and taken to the garage security folks.

They ask him to describe the bag, etc.

The guards are not satisfied with his description and don't give it to him.

Sounds to me like they may be moving.

11. Yes, with all the cameras there, that should be recorded.
Agree his story doesn't sound credible at all, especially given the timing.

It's pretty epic so far. Two thumb's up. Oscar worthy.

Yea, I know it's not a movie. I'm just trying to cope.

12. Me too. Remember how * selected FOX's Tony Snow as his press secretary?
I hope this ending includes exposure of Murdoh's grimely ties to the RNC's cabal.
