Bondi added: “The Trump administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country.”
Then she should be raiding 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, because the biggest thief of classified information in American history resides there.
Natanson said her work had led to 1,169 new sources, “all current or former federal employees who decided to trust me with their stories”
They will target and prosecute every single person that spoke to this reporter.
The journalist should’ve had it all encrypted.
Future journalists need to have solid encryption protocols, open source stuff we can vet, so leakers know they can trust talking to them, and can know how they are vulnerable and how not.
Assuming there aren’t any backdoors in whatever encryption she did use, I’m gonna assume the journalist was taking measures to protect her informants. Here’s hoping the pants-shitting incompetence of the MAGAt administration prevents them from identifying the whistleblowers.
That’s why you use open source software, no backdoors, no funny stuff
Agents descended on the Virginia home of Hannah Natanson as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.
Like how Trump illegally retained classified materials in his Mar A Lago bathroom?
And then one of those documents supposedly ended up at a Saudi Auction selling for 2.3M dollars.
I don’t know whether to laugh at Jeff for thinking that kissing the ring would make him safe, or to think that maybe Jeff ratted out his own employee for brownie points with the Administration.
They raided the reporter to get info on the over a thousand new whistleblowers that were talking to her. Jeff is happy with this development. It’s going to have a massive chilling effect on both journalists with integrity and fed whistleblowers.
