-- You are assuming that we are a nation under the rule of law ... --

We still are in some areas. And I totally agree that the laws are deliberately unevenly applied. This has always been the case. The privileged class gets a pass, as do "local dignitaries" for local offenses. But investigators posing as journalists will just use the evidence, they won't charge "you lied to a person who was posing as a journalist." Too easy to get out of that in court.

Keep in mind the following:
When asked directly, an officer of the State/Federal executive branch in the United States cannot lie as to their oath. They do not have do respond, directly, but you have options.

That means, an undercover officer or other duly sworn officer MAY give deflecting information as to their position BUT, they cannot say a definite NO to your direct question as to whether they are a police/peace officer.

If you ask, “Are you a re police officer?” and that person replies, “Do I look like a police office?”. That person is a cop.

In the end, that officer CAN NOT say, “No, I’m not a police officer.” That will end up in ENTRAPMENT.

Why not? Journalists can pose as journalists.

“Damage journalists’ credibility ...”

Hahahahahahahaha. They’ve done a great job of that all by themselves.

Can you cite the basis for this? Any legal precedents or rulings? Cuz I don’t think so.

Seems only fair since journalists are posing as journalists (with a few exceptions to the rule)

Urban myth. They can lie about anything, and they do. After all, they are from the government.

No different than Clinton/Democrat operatives posing as reporters, journalists, talk show hosts, editors, movie directors, university presidents, FBI and IRS and EPA and FDA and DOE Directors...

The Famous But Incompetent can pose any anything; they can even try to pose as law enforcement agents.

"... assuming that we are a nation under the rule of law, which is no longer the case, and that the same rules apply to all people, which they don’t."

Well put.
