Rosenstein, DOJ exploring ways to more easily spy on journalists

BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 01/14/19 11:00 AM EST

For months now, the Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly has been working on a revision to its guidelines governing how, when and why prosecutors can obtain the records of journalists, particularly in leak cases.

 

The work has been supervised by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s office, especially since former Attorney General Jeff Sessions departed, but is not wrapped up.

With Rosenstein signaling last week that he plans to step aside in a few weeks, palace intrigue has risen inside Justice about whether the rule changes will be finished and whether Whitaker might reject them.

 

If not, a process begun under Sessions could drag into the tenure of a new attorney general. Trump has nominated William Barr for the job, which Barr held under President George H.W. Bush three decades earlier.

 

According to my sources, the arguments for changing the rules emanate from the stresses that a massive increase in criminal leak investigations have placed on the DOJ.

 

Sessions disclosed more than a year ago that there has been a threefold increase in criminal leak probes, which have ensnared everyone from fired FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe to a senior Senate staffer who handled classified documents.

Today’s effort to loosen those rules, I fear, only increases the risk that professional journalists will face intrusions on their reporting for convenience rather than necessity.

 

And that is a legacy that no freedom-loving, Constitution-abiding deputy attorney general or acting attorney general should want on their professional resume.

EDITORIAL

Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono deserve scorn for effort to establish an anti-Catholic religious test

by Washington Examiner

| January 14, 2019 07:55 AM

 

Harris this month went after Brian Buescher, President Trump’s nominee for a federal court vacancy in Nebraska, for belonging to the Knights of the Columbus. This is damning, Harris’ questions implied, because the Knights is “all-male,” because the organization’s president described Roe v. Wade as “a legal regime that has resulted in more than 40 million deaths” (fact check: true), and because the president described abortion as “the killing of the innocent” (ditto). Further, the Knights “opposed marriage equality,” Harris pointed out.

 

Harris’ colleague on the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, went further. She demanded that Buescher, if he is to be a federal judge, drop his membership in the Knights and recuse himself from every issue on which the Knights have taken an opinion.

The Knights of Columbus are not a fringe group. They are the single largest Catholic service organization in the country. Mostly they serve as ushers during Mass, run pancake breakfasts afterward, hold fish fries on Fridays in Lent, provide life insurance to members, and do charitable works, such as visiting the imprisoned.

Conservative writer Alexandra DeSanctis at National Review posited that the effort against Buescher was “a test run in preventing their worst nightmare: the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.”

House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff — who has made it clear that he will use his congressional powers to go after Trump — took to Twitter on Saturday to indicate that he’s interested in efforts to subpoena Gross.

 

“Last year, we sought to obtain the interpreter’s notes or testimony, from the private meeting between Trump and Putin. The Republicans on our committee voted us down. Will they join us now? Shouldn’t we find out whether our president is really putting ‘America first?'” Schiff tweeted.

 

On top of that, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, a Democrat who represents New York, recently announced that he’s forming a separate investigative subcommittee to investigate Trump’s interactions with Putin.

 

“Every time Trump meets with Putin, the country is told nothing,” Engel said. “We will be holding hearings on the mysteries swirling around Trump’s bizarre relationship with Putin and his cronies and how those dark dealings affect our national security.”
