  1. New York Times gives Jimmy and Stef some of their best comic material.

  2. How can attorney-client confidential and privileged communications be authenticated? The lawyers cannot acknowledge the material. They would be disbarred for doing so. PV won't because that is a waiver of attorney-client privilege.

  3.  @yw9686  Were they authenticated? How? By whom? How were they retrieved? Did an arm of the US security state take custody of them subsequent to a raid on her servers? Were confidential and privileged emails published, or only those pertaining to matters of legitimate public concern? Honest questions because I don't know. I don't know the nature of the breach, the content, or the dissemination. I don't know whether the breach was possibly a crime, a civil tort she could sue for, both, or neither. I didn't follow the story.

  4.  @yw9686  No they don't. They publish materials they are able to authenticate. Otherwise, they would be subject to any and every false flag operation, and even be liable for defamation under New York Times malice ("reckless disregard for the truth"). Nor would they knowingly risk being accused of acting as the surveillance state's cat's paw, helping it to spy or intimidate other journalists.

  5.  @yw9686  IOW, you would see set-ups galore if this were true.

  6.  @yw9686  The FBI is legally prohibited from doing that.

  7.  @yw9686  Do you think any agents of the government can scoop up confidential materials from you, or anyone, and freely share them with the media?

  8.  @yw9686  Right. Media can publish materials that have been stolen, or leaked, or mailed anonymously in a plain brown wrapper. How do they authenticate materials protected by attorney-client privilege? Material obtained by law enforcement during a search is protected. It is a criminal offense for anyone to pass it along to the media, or to anyone. Well, people do commit crimes, true. Being part of the FBI and sworn to protect investigations and the material collected during investigationd doesn't mean someone won't commit a crime. The history of double agents proves that.

  9. I knew Adam Curtis used authentic footage in his documentaries, but I didn't think his commentary could predict the future.
