At this point in the process it's pretty clear no crime took place.
But the msm have only read the First Amendment, they don’t read the rest of the Constitution because it was thw work of dead, straight white guys, so many of whom were Believers.
No court has ever ruled that the press has immunity from involvement in criminal cases based on first amendment rights. The courts have held that the first amendment prevents prior restraint of the press from printing what they believe is the truth. The media pretends that it’s settled law that the first amendment allows reporters to protect sources, but they sometimes go to jail for doing so.
In this instance, I have to respect the press for standing firm, as it keeps law enforcement from routinely subpoenaing press records in criminal cases.
