      I don't think I would have gone to FBI, but I'm curious what other journos would do. I've worked w/ lot of sources over the yrs who were criminals and spies and who wanted to manipulate me or public. It's not my job to help FBI. Does fact that this is a natsec case make a dif?https://twitter.com/KimZetter/status/1014232337133940736 …

      I have great respect for @emptywheel and admire her detailed and dedicated work. I'm sure the decision to go to FBI about one of her sources was difficult. I'm wondering how many other journos would do same in her circumstances and our current environment. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/07/03/putting-a-face-mine-to-the-risks-posed-by-gop-games-on-mueller-investigation/ …

      Obv @emptywheel is the only one who can answer (at this point, at least) but of her (public) reasons this seems key (and understated)pic.twitter.com/gchepFHyr5

      According to that, she outed a source to the FBI to prevent the FBI from possibly later getting a subpoena to seize her computer to get info about the source. That's not what journalists do. They get a lawyer to fight subpoenas.

      I said, I want to share this information, but if you ask for more via subpoena, I will make a very loud public fight. I'll write up my thought process tomorrow.

          Looking forward to it. I'm sure that other journalists caught up in the same or similar dilemma would find it useful to understand the thought process that went into this.

          Yup. It was definitely a process. I had privileged conversations with 8 (eight!) different attorneys before I sat down with the FBI. The upside? Those 8 lawyers mean I had a (far) better legal team than the President!
