REGARDLESS of many of OUR beliefs, THIS is what she is ACTUALLY there for.
I COMPLETELY understand Donny's grousing, but she is constrained by various laws and such that we do not have to consider. The above is her ACTUAL JOB!
We have seen so many others busily and actively redesigning the definitions of that job, we have forgotten what the job truly IS.

They were arrested and behind bars as it should be.
Can't say I agree with this. The reporter has 1A protections. Unless the reporter had a clearance and was not supposed to have those documents, then they are free to do what they want. What was stated on the warrant? To me it sounds like government thugs conducting theft, breaking and entering, and are nothing more than common criminals with badges. The government already had the person that was leaking the documents. The reporter did nothing wrong

You also got your last Timebomb. Well that sucks.
This is a fuzzy area.
If they find that the reporter was asking for the information from the leaker they can be nailed to the wall.
Its all about how it was sourced. Asking for it implies you know you should not have it.

To repeat the OP:
Examining Bondi's paragraph, I imagine the reporter was not cleared for this classified, or its release. (i.e. "illegal) A Search Warrant indicates a judge was involved. Given that it is Washington, (i.e. potential bias in the Judiciary) then I imagine the justification was pretty solid.

And whether he was paid fot it in some way.
Who do we really trust?

Not necessarily.
If someone accidentally emailed me a classified document and I'm not in the military I would have know knowledge of acceptable use of said document. This not my problem.
I think the manner in which this classified intel was gathered is what should be in question. If it was leaked to, or given to this reporter then this arrest is pointless and wrong. The leaker or what have you should be arrested.
Now if this reporter stole or hacked or got this Intel in a nefarious way then yes they should be arrested.

The reporter HAS NOT been arrested or charged! Sheesh, people, read!
The leaker IS behind bars. This sounds like an evidence finding mission. Its possible the reporter could face charges, depending on what they found...but it looks like they're doing it right.

My bad, I skimmed it and made an assumption. Thats what I get for half assing somethin, looking dumb.

right, not "necessarily" - but if the person knew the information could be harmful if transmitted then it does not matter if the person was non-government/non-military ('reason to believe' is the trigger) - 18 U.S.C. § 793 applies to anyone
a journalist has more "reason to believe" than most
1A is not an effective defense at that point
