The government raided the home of a Journalist supposedly to get information about a leaker, but “its own prosecutors don’t seem to believe they need Natanson’s data to proceed…Given that the Justice Department apparently has everything it needs to go forward with the prosecution of Perez-Lugones for leaking classified information, the raid on Natanson and seizure of her devices looks like harassment of a journalist who annoyed powerful people combined with a general search for anything the government might not want revealed.
The government doesn’t get to torment people who receive and publish information that’s inconvenient to the powers that be. It certainly isn’t entitled to go trawling through private property for information it doesn’t want to see the light of day.”
