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

        Worst thing was journalist said, "I'm asking in your capacity as an "analyst/commentator." Because analysis is for free.

        But we do that to people everyday - accountants, lawyers, police. We ask for their time for a quote.

        Yes. But they are not our competitors in a field in which we also get paid. A lawyer asking help fr another lawyer expects to pay.

        first tweet made it sound like a quote - but guessing was taking a lot of time to explain something, which would be different.

        This is the second time I've asked this particular journo not to ask for my work for free. It was a shitty insulting request.

        I get most of this, but who charges/pays for a quote?

        Your tweet makes it sound like you were asked for a comment. But followup sounds like it was more for than that.
