......When a “journalist” receives information that was disseminated illegally he isn’t just a journalist anymore ... he’s also a witness to a crime — and potentially complicit in the crime, too.

Personally couldn't disagree more.

They deserve the same 4th amendment rights as any other US citizen. Nothing more, nothing less.

“information that was disseminated illegally”

In a nation with freedom of speech, freedom of press, how can such a thing exist?

I suggest that violation of copyright and child porn are the only cases where iformation can be disseminated illegally.

What other case exists that can violate the Constitution?

Not just smarter, but better human beings - more ethical, compassionate, inclusive...

How about classified national security information?

How about grand jury proceedings -- which is a hot topic right now because that's what is behind the redactions in the Mueller report?

How about any other information related to a legal matter that is under a seal of confidentiality by a court?

How about information that is subject to a non-disclosure agreement between two parties?

I forget which 60’s liberal radical said that.

It was Ronald Reagan.

your vid link indicates Reagan was citing a liberal activist.

The original author was radical HUEY LONG:

“Sure, We’ll Have Fascism in This Country, and We’ll Call It Anti-Fascism.”

Corruption in law enforcement ALWAYS steps around the law to erase evidence of their criminality. If this reporter kept data in his home he is naïve.

A radio pundit (of Watergate Fame, i.e. Gordon G. Liddy) said shoot for the family jewel’s, odd’s are your’ll miss, but will hit the “Femoral artery,” that person will be room temp very quickly.

'"journalist" is nothing more than a political operative hiding behind a press credential? '

That's the point of our papers. They have always been political arms. There has never been a sitiuation of papers not favoring a group. 'Centinel,' 'Mucius Scaevola' and 'Leonidas' were all operatives. Democratic and Republican papers were legion back in the day.

From another news source: Wonder if this has something to do with the Kate Steinle case, cops raided a videographer's home.

https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Public-Defender-of-San-Francisco-Jeff-Adachi-Dies-506256131.html

"He served as the public defender in the Kate Steinle case in which a Mexican man was acquitted of murder in the shooting death of a San Francisco woman, sparking a national immigration debate."

"Adachi, a graduate of UC Berkeley, was also into independent filmmaking and was rasing money to complete a documentary on the Steinle trial and the international debate over immigration policy".
