[Area51]

Brit Hume was talking about a Memo that one of the fox reporters had gotten their hands on that showed Mapes doing something underhanded or illegal regarding a Prison and communications between two PRisoners.

It was damaging enough that she lost her Prison privilages.

Anyone know anything about it?

Yes. The prisoner apparently wanted to communicate with another prisoner contrary to the prison's regulations. Mapes tried to help him do that by taking his communication, which was directed to the other prisoner, as a journalist's privileged communication to her, giving it to another CBS operative, and having that operative send the communication to prisoner #2 as a journalist's privileged communication. In other words, she got caught setting up a scam where two maximum security Federal prisoners could communicate with each other without being observed by prison authorities.
