  1. The show of force appeared aimed at not just ferreting out anyone who may have shared information, but intimidating others who might do so in the future, acc/to people with knowledge of the effort.

    …The scope of the investigation is without parallel. Mass #polygraph tests have never been administered to the top ranks of the #US #military in modern history.

  2. The purpose & scope of the investigations that triggered the subpoenas are not clear, but the person familiar said they relate to #NationalSecurity matters. While the journalists are no longer scheduled to appear before a grand jury, the #DOJ’s action reflected a new front in the #Trump admin’s aggressive tactics toward the #media as it attempts to crack down on government #leaks to the #press & #content that admin officials think is unfair to Trump.

  4. The judge in #RumeysaOzturk’s case noted that the govt presented no evidence other than #Ozturk’s op-ed raising a very significant & substantial claim that 1st Amendment protected speech formed the basis for her detention.

    Which suggests the reason she was detained was punishment for her opinion.

  5. #RumeysaOzturk’s hearing is coming to a close. Importantly, just now the judge stated that the court finds #Ozturk meets all 3 requirements for granting #bail.

    1) Substantial claims, (2) extraordinary
    circumstances, (3) necessary to make #habeas effective

  6. #Trump #DOJ unveiled a revised #regulation for #leak investigations on Thurs, restoring the ability of federal investigators to use #CourtOrders, #warrants & #subpoenas to go after #reporters’ phone records, notes or testimony.

    The move by AG #PamBondi rolls back a #policy from her predecessor, #MerrickGarland, who was appointed by President #Biden, that flatly banned going after reporters’ info in leak investigations.

  7. New #regulations detailed in the memo will allow prosecutors in #criminal investigations to use #subpoenas, #CourtOrders & #SearchWarrants to compel "production of information & testimony by & relating to members of the #news #media," the memo stated.
    “Safeguarding classified, privileged & other sensitive information is essential to effective governance & #law enforcement,” #Trump AG #PamBondi wrote in the memo.

    The most potent tools for fighting #injustice are the ones already in your hands.

    Looks to be inspired by the US government’s declassified field manual 'Simple #Sabotage Field #Manual’ from 1944. But it’s updated for the #digital, current world.

  11. @alfredo_liberal I'm having my doubts, that the guy, who Trumpers yelled to have hanged is one of them...

    Nonetheless:

    Chris Licht is the Eloon Musk of CNN, obviously.

  12. @Dumbo Governments of the free world should be well aware, that Musk's $44 billion sandbox is not a constitutional monarchy, but an immature, histrionic & anti-democratic despot's arbitrarily ruled injustice realm.
    Governments should follow the example of the free news organizations & no longer make themselves subjects of a spaced-out, attention-addicted infantile wannabe-potentate.
