Remember Roy McGrath, Larry Hogan's chief of staff who was indicted for fraud, skipped his trial, & was killed in an FBI traffic stop in Knoxville in 2023? The FBI quietly posted its case file to the Vault a few days ago. A few interesting things: 1. Agents pulled 36 flash drives from a bag in his Escalade. McGrath had claimed to possess recordings of @LarryHogan. (In fact Maryland charged him under the state wiretap law for secretly recording Hogan & others, & that same law bars authorities from releasing the recordings.) The file lists the drives but never mentions them again. They also recovered more than $6k in cash, 7 cellphones, a computer, as well as a 9mm handgun, a box of ammo, &, for some reason, a cap gun. 2. The shot count. One witness at the Sonic drive-thru heard a single shot; another heard "five or six." The FBI's evidence log shows two spent casings — one beside the agent's vehicle, one on McGrath's own dashboard. The Knox County DA later concluded both guns fired at the same instant, which is why an audio recording only registered one bang. The FBI's file never says who fired what. 3. Fourteen pages are withheld under the "deliberative process" exemption, which is almost certainly where the @FBI's review of its own shooting lives. The Bureau investigated the Bureau, then redacted the verdict. There are no agent statements in the release — only bystanders, deputies, & the evidence team. As usual, the pages that aren’t completely withheld are heavily redacted, as you can see below.
