see page 31: "...An FBI TOR network expert analyzed the data from the Pen/Trap and was able to determine that a significant portion of the traffic from the CHICAGO RESIDENCE to the Internet was TOR-related traffic..."

Guess they did not want to provide too much info on that - otherwise they would have had to acknowledge that they are actually screening all traffic with deep inspection.

I don't know what you mean by "all traffic"; on the previous page it says the FBI installed some kind of device to capture the suspect's traffic, which is hardly a controversial practice.

I think this is actually a pretty strong endorsement of TOR, just based on what I briefly read here. They had a wiretap running, and all they got out of it was "he's definitely using TOR." That's pretty awesome, if you ask me.

You're overthinking it. All it means is a bunch of traffic was going to and from known tor nodes.

Actually the wiretap only permitted them to see IP addresses not packet contents.

They didn't get him via TOR. If you start reading on page 26, it states that Jeremy hammond revealed personal info to the confidential witness (CW-1). It was this personal info he shared that was used to identify Hammond as the suspect.
