I suspect that the DOJ is now reading the judge’s e-mail.
Excellent inference, thank you.

Justice Department Investigated NY Times Reporter Over Stuxnet Story

The Department of Justice investigated alleged national security leaks to a reporter for The New York Times over his story last year about the Stuxnet virus that was used to attack Irans infrastructure.
But, unlike the investigations involving Fox News journalist James Rosen and the Associated Press, DOJ examined email and telephone records of government officials who communicated with the Times reporter David Sanger, the publication reported on Saturday.
FBI agents asked the White House, the Defense Department and intelligence agencies for phone and email logs showing exchanges with a New York Times reporter writing about computer attacks on Iran, the newspaper said. Agents grilled officials about their contacts with him.
Meanwhile, Fox News apparently knew nearly three years ago that the Justice Department had sought the telephone records of Rosen in a leak investigation, CNN reported on Saturday.
A law enforcement source told CNN that Justice notified a media organization almost three years ago of a subpoena for detailed telephone records, and another told the news agency that the organization was Fox.

wow.
That doesn’t sound legal at all.
Certainly not constitutional.
I agree.
This government acts like a third world fascist dictatorship from top to bottom.
Rosens emails were seized, with a judges approval, as part of the prosecution of Kim. In addition to a delay unsealing the documents for warrants, there was also a delay unsealing chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington Royce Lamberths 2010 order that the government wasnt required to notify Rosen that his emails had been the subject of a warrant. Although that order was posted on the courts website, it was not available on the public docket until now.
Lamberth apologized for these delays Wednesday this week saying a series of administrative errors by the courts staff caused them.
The documents reveal that two judges had said the Justice Department was required to notify Rosen of the warrants, the New Yorker reported. But U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen, Jr., requested in 2010 that the court exercise its power to keep sealed the warrants and related documents in this case as there exists an extraordinary situation and compelling government interest, which justify such a sealing.
Machen also requested the court order Google not to notify Rosen of the warrant either.
Lambert overturned the two judges who declared the Rosen was to be notified of the warrants, granting Machens request that the documents remain sealed.
Gee, yah think? Of course, they are.
-——Are they reading our freepmail ?-——
Not only is our government looking at our freepmail....and postings.... But you can bet dollars to donuts other governments like China, Russia are looking as well....
Probably. See my tag.
I’d like to see the D.C.Bar go after both Machen and Holder.
This goes directly to the Marxist.
U.S. Attorney Ron Machen argued in 2010 that the traditional 30-day notice period did not apply to Rosen as Justice secretly monitored his Gmail account, according to new exhibits unsealed this week and disclosed by The Hill.[news from the future] In later years, a biography of Obama entitled "It Takes a Prison" was published to much fanfare, becoming the first billion-download seller.
Thanks for the ping.
When was freepmail added? The answer is; for about that long.
The Cardassian Empire was one of the main opponents during the series. There was an episode when Chief O'Brien was arrested by the Cardassians on some trumped up weapon smuggling charges. He is informed that he is guilty of the crime and his court case will begin the next day to conform with that verdict.
Apparently this is standard procedure for the Cardassian courts. They give the verdict; then hold the trial, which is skewed to come up with that result.
