I’m sure they were all over the Sharyl Attkisson case, too.

If guns can be seized, so can journalists’ records.

Welcome to the Police State, bitches.

This is the first known instance of the Trump administration secretly collecting the communications of journalists, a continuation of “the aggressive tactics employed under President Barack Obama,” the Times notes.

Mueller seized lawyer’s records; DOJ seizes reporter’s records. What’s the difference? Both wrong or both right, can’t have it any other way.

It is legitimate if they have reason to suspect (sounds like it from the indictment) that she may have classified documents in her possession. Freedom of the press does NOT include espionage and it is illegal for ANY person to possess classified intelligence documents.

With that said, the selective outrage of the media is the norm with this President so unlike the last administration expect this to be covered ad nauseam.

A reporter doing a story on heroin is not allowed to possess a kilogram of heroin any more than a reporter doing a story on child pornography is allowed to possess that. A classified document is just as illegal as those items and it falls outside the “freedom of the press.”

Remember the Meet The Press where the Host pulled out an ILLEGAL AR-15 Magazine to try and embarrass the NRA guy he was interviewing?

The Journalist was not charged with anything as was the Producer that bought it and brought it to the Studio. They gOt special dispensation for being Journalists, Leftist Journalists that is.

If that were us, we would be wearing Orange Jumpsuits.

The same Leftist running dogs had no qualms over Mueller seizing documents from the personal lawyer of the President.

This is out too:

NYT Reporter Blamed ‘Trumpster Lawyers’ for Leaks. Turns Out It Was Her Boyfriend.

Federal investigators subpoenaed records from the New York Times' Ali Watkins and charged Senate Intelligence Committee staffer James Wolfe with crimes related to leaking.

The indictment also details extensive contact between Watkins and Wolfe that immediately preceded the publication of classified materials. Wolfe allegedly notified the reporter of upcoming SSCI appearances by Trump associates, including Carter Page.

Media watchdogs fret over seizing of reporter records in US probe.

Boohoo!! Here's how much I care about the seizure of her records - ZIPPO...NADA.

I did not see any "fretting" when Trump's personal lawyer's records were seized. I did not see any "fretting" when Sharyl Attkisson was spied on and persecuted for doing her job.

So I hope they really search and go through everything these reporters own. The media needs to get the legal version of a proctological exam.

They are mostly fake news media anyway.
