Amir Makled: Well, it was apparent to me at that point that they'd already done their homework about me before I arrived because they knew that I was taking on some some cases. [The agent] knew who I was and he knew where I was coming from. And he knew I was an attorney. So it wasn't a random selection. They were prepared to talk to me and discuss things with me. And he was adamant that he wanted to see my phone.

This is fucking creepy
