Justice Department Seizes Reporter's Phone, Email Records In Leak Probe (thehill.com)

According to The New York Times, the Department of Justice seized a New York Times reporter's phone and email records this year in an effort to probe the leaking of classified information, the first known instance of the DOJ going after a journalist's data under President Trump. The Hill reports: The Times reported Thursday that the DOJ seized years' worth of records from journalist Ali Watkins's time as a reporter at BuzzFeed News and Politico before she joined The Times in 2017 as a federal law enforcement reporter, according to the report Thursday. Watkins was alerted by a prosecutor in February that the DOJ had years of records and subscriber information from telecommunications companies such as Google and Verizon for two email accounts and a phone number belonging to her. Investigators did not receive the content of the records, according to The Times. The newspaper reported that it learned of the letter on Thursday.

    On a two-wheel flyer, risking everything
    V-twin take him higher
    And the danger it will bring
    Tempting fate, time and time again
    Bones break and crumble
    Grim Reaper in the wind
    Grim Reaper

    One man of his word
    Not afraid to lose it all
    A single shot of whiskey – ready to take a fall
    One American, with honor with pride
    And a burning desire to fly fuckin’ high

    Clutch Nixon – Psycho in heaven, angel in hell

    The greatest man to ever set foot on two wheels
    Possibly, the greatest man to ever live
    A man that brought the world together
    Not through song or dance

    Two wheels strapped to a Harley v-twin

    Buy a Harley V-Twin. Quit using the Slashdot as a site to promote your propaganda funneled through Arab accounts.
