@armandodkos Risen: "I refuse to answer."
Brinkema: "Sterling has 6h A right to have that answered."

@emptywheel govt can't raise Sterlings rights and Sterling would be crazy to. -
@armandodkos Why? What if he knows he was a minor source for Risen and his boss was a major one? -
@emptywheel he's still guilty in that scenario. That would be malpractice. -
@armandodkos We'll see. I think you underestimate Sterling's exposure as compared to if he can prove Risen's other sources. -
@emptywheel r u saying he's gonna argue his leak was authorized? If that's all he has he better deal. -
@armandodkos No. Think you're missing the dynamics of this. Right now Sterling is charged w/being sole source for Risen. That's unlikely. -
@emptywheel The crime is being the SOLE source, not A source? You ll have to explain that one to me. -
@armandodkos The multiple charges are tied to Sterling being a source at different times (and NOT when govt was spying on Risen). - 1 more reply
