I would also think that any journalist wo has ever used fake credentials is now fair game for any grand jury to indict.

I’d heard it said that the DA’s office didn’t use the videotapes in the case because they were an illegal violation of privacy. No charges were actually investigated against PP, certainly they were not voted on by the grand jury, and the DA’s office shared details of the investigation with PP’s lawyer by his own admission (in quotes that came out as the videomakers were being charged with crimes). It is illegal to share details of a grand jury investigation with anyone (including the defendants).

A whole lot of rotten stink in this case.

If the videomakers illegally obtained the videotapes by violation of privacy, why weren’t they charged with that? If the videotapes were not illegally obtained, why were they excluded from the investigation?
