Each of Steve, Scott and John have written longish pieces decrying what they claim to be appalling attacks on “journalism” [as if, in their Owellian world, receiving — and then trying to broker, for profit — plainly stolen property in excess of $5,000 (See, 18 USC § 2315, et seq.)… is mere journalism!] — in the SDNY’s ongoing presentations to a grand jury — the object of which will be to return one or more felony indictments against Mr. O’Keefe and his “Project”.
Here is the actual law — a primer on how the Fourth Amendment works (filed last night in Manhattan by the able federal government lawyers), and in particular, its interplay with any claim of “journalistic privileges.”
Fun fact: Rudy Giuliani’s case is also specifically discussed, as to the propriety of seizing multiple cell phones under warrants. “Your indictments are about to ‘pop-over’ — almost… fresh outta’ the oven, here boys….”
This is going to be the end… of O’Keefe’s “project”.
Just stay tuned.
