Feds, police search home of Subway pitchman Jared Fogle | Fox News

DEVELOPING: State and federal authorities descended Tuesday on the Indiana home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, just over two months after the former director of his charitable foundation was arrested on child pornography charges.

Fogle, 37, who became the sandwich chain’s spokesman in 2000 after losing weight as a freshman at Indiana University by eating an all-Subway diet, lives in the Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville. Authorities did not say if Tuesday’s search warrants were connected to the arrest of his former associate.
 
Since he has been losing weight, he has been getting into smaller and smaller pants. We just assumed the pants were his.
 
Nothing like a little advanced character assassination to liven up a Tuesday.

Nobody knows why the search warrant was issued but he did know a guy who was arrested for child pornography a couple of months ago so..............

I expect better from Fox News.

You didnt expect a major news outlet to cover a celebrity's home being raided for child porn? Why not? Furthermore did you read the article? It was pretty clear that they did not know exactly why it was being raided, only that it was. They reported what happened.

Do you also expect better of every other media outlet reporting this or do you just hate on fox news and make excuses for the rest?

I could keep going but I think you get the point.
 
A certain kind of person takes a hateful glee when a person of "good public persona" falls from grace.


Personally I find it not gleeful but saddening.


And we don't yet know what the raid was about, TMK.

Glee? No not really. But its hard to get a raid without some more than just "some guy we knew" was involved in kiddie porn.

So, he is out as Trump's running mate?

Well, here's an alternate scenario, equally with no evidence.

Since the guy who was arrested a couple of months ago on child porn charges was a former director of Jared Fogle's charitable foundation, couldn't it be possible that the police/feds wanted to search the charitable foundation's files/computers to see if this former director's child porn activities were at all related to the charitable foundation or if he had contacts within the charity or used its facilities/services to further his child porn activities?

Yea, sure. They usually send in some techs. Break down your files on your computer, drop it on a flash and split. Not park a big van on your drive at 7 am.

Could be - depends on whether the charity's lawyers were cooperating or required the feds to get a warrant for access.

I'm not suggesting there isn't some illegal activity that Fogle is/was involved in, only that it's a little early for the "child porn" smear to be floated - as you said, he's screwed now regardless of the outcome.

Correct, he could be the Richard Jewell of fast food.

I am not smearing him. But the optics of it are horrible for him.

My apologies - I wasn't at all claiming you were smearing him - it's the story and the slant it took that is the smear at this point. And you're right - that smear looks really bad for him.

Police conduct raids for nebulous reasons all the time. They often don't even raid the right house. I'm in "wait and see" mode.

Stop it, John. This is a character assassination thread, and Fogle is guilty. Of what, we don't know...but so what? Gawker has dipped back into Fogle's past and discovered that he rented porn videos to other college kids out of his dorm room. This clearly proves that Fogle is into kiddie porn.

Why wait for facts to come in, especially if a swipe can be made at Fox News, which is the only news outlet reporting? :roll:
