Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      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/ …

      Also, off the record doesn’t mean, leave your humanity on the floor whatever I tell you...

      The off the record issue is completely a side issue, regardless of whether she went to the FBI. Info is only off the record if the reporter agrees to it -- not just because a source says it is.

      Respectfully, it’s not a side issue to me.

      Journalism@norms and guidelines generally specify off the record requires a discussion and agreement that it’s off the record. (Spies have different norms and conventions.)

      Any source talking to any journalist should nail that down, because apt to interpret/misinterpret off the record, background, deep background, by assuming everyone has the same definition.

      As I read this post, MW wrote that she suspected the person was tampering (assume hacking) her website. I read that as her motivation.

      The list of motivations is long. But honestly, this is one of only two segments of comms we had where he even asked for OTR. He wanted me to go public w/everything he told me.

          Some folks wrongly assume that if they write OTR at the beginning of a communication, that means a journo is under some obligation w/o an agreement. Not sure if you can say more than your post about any agreement re text following it’s transmission.

          My guess is, knowing him, is he was trying to signal value.

          “OFF THE RECORD I’m hacking your website. Glad it’s agreed. Also, death to America.” (Kidding. I don’t know the details. Gallows humor.)
