FBI searches home of newly-outed Spokane Mayor West, take his computer

Schadenfreude alert!

The FBI has searched the home of Spokane Mayor Jim West, seizing his computers and related files, court documents filed today reveal.

The FBI obtained the federal warrant to search West’s home in west Spokane after convincing a federal judge that there is probable cause to believe a federal crime has been committed.

The warrant says there is sufficient evidence to believe that West “knowingly and willingly engaged in a scheme to entice others to engage in sexual activity with him through offers and grants of city of Spokane jobs, internships or appointments.”

The search warrant affidavit, signed by FBI special agent Frank Harrill, said the federal investigation suggested West’s solicitation of sex-for-city jobs was performed on a personal computer located at his home at 639 W. Persimmon Lane.

GOP. The party that just keeps on giving and giving and giving.
