Journalists were alarmed Friday after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the Department of Justice was revisiting guidelines for handling media subpoenas in leak investigations and said there needed to be limits on press freedom.
“Are you saying you will jail journalists, Mr. Attorney General?” a reporter asked as Sessions exited the room. “Do you plan to prosecute journalists?”

Hehehehe
JS should focus on the leakers first
Pray it makes them Nervous
Can’t do the time? Don’t do the crime.
Jailing..... First off that’s not going to happen under Jeff “Dude, where’s my manhood” Sessions and secondly jailing isn’t the punishment they deserve for helping to destroy this nation. There’s only one way to deal with Marxists.

More like hopes...

CNN is still trying to connect the dots, at this late hour.
Will the DoJ be establishing an office that will approve what news stories can be published?
If he scares the crap out of the mediot pajama boys the leakers won’t have a place to leak. Besides if he sweats the presstitutes they’ll roll over on the leakers in a microsecond.
Good ... need some high profile leakers in jail to show that they mean business
Ahem, if journalists break the law, they must go to jail.
If even one “regular” leaker went through what Bradley Manning or earlier military criminals had to go through, there would be less of them, I believe.
I think they’ll hand out info sheets on what constitutes national security info and proceed with laws requiring the safeguarding of such property when improperly received
No. Why would you even say that?
Cut their balls off?

They wiuld stay away from the journalism issue and somply prosecute for being part of a plot to steal national secrets or property.
If they have the property, then it’s a fair thing to assume they were part of the band of thieves.
If nothing else, legal fees are a pain.
Correction- Puffington Hoax.
But don’t take the word of the originator...
