      A reminder: every reporter who gleefully trafficked in stolen emails via wikileaks abetted a crime. Not illegal activity by itself but unethical and immoral.

      So I am gathering that you also opposed the publication of the Pentagon Papers? The Snowden documents?

          This from @jackshafer addresses the newsworthiness dimension. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/04/25/no-amy-chozick-youre-not-a-russian-agent-218075 …pic.twitter.com/MiIHM1oHCz

          I oppose stealing from private citizens. Do you not see the difference between the Pentagon papers and the Viet Nam war and Podesta’s emails? Really???

          John Podesta was/is a public figure of tremendous power and influence. The emails stolen from him were newsworthy, period. Journalists did not do the stealing; they did the reporting -- an arrangement that has a grand tradition in this country.

          You're seriously not trying to compare these things are you? Are you that dense? Are you that afraid of admitting that you became an asset to Russia, Putin and the GRU? Hell, you should demand to be paid for all of the help you gave them.

          Also do you think if the NYTimes got the Pentagon Papers from, say the Chinese, it would have had no bearing on their decision to publish?

          I don't have any thoughts on the hypothetical actions of the New York Times decades ago. I imagine they would have authenticated them and then published them.

          And once again the media fails to acknowledge their role in this s*it show. Whataboutism and deflection.
