I absolutely remember this! In fact that's what also fueled more of my suspicions on solar activity because of this raid of child porn at a solar observatory was absurd.

They cleaned up nicely because it really didn't let out much info besides the fact everyone was surprised - just because it was so random it seemed, but "plausible". Fancy FBI always planting evidence on those they don't like eh? Maybe some intelligence communities felt a little left out and tried to ascertain info that they thought could be used. Lots of theories with this.
