For starters, though, it would make it a lot more legally dicey for Trump to pardon Assange as part of quid pro quo.

Technically, it's what we lawyers would call BS, with no effect whatever on FISA, criminal espionage laws, or anything else.

Think it is more than that. If WL is an intel svc it is not press. Press policies and arguable 1A limits are inapplicable
