It addresses the point succinctly. Accept that EVERYTHING is compromised goverment wise or not, if you have the material you can still disseminate it to the public.
And if her sources weren’t encrypted, memorized, buried in an altoids tin in the backyard, etc... She’s operating out of her league. You don’t play at that level without a spooky badass game. This game is played for keeps, we’ve all seen that.
Maybe it just hasn’t sunk in to even regular “connected” people that it’s time to operate at that level with clear knowledge that exactly what you describe and more is at risk now in the United States.
THe ignorance on what is going on now is amazing, no one seems to put together much of anything. People are truly stupid.
Look, again, at LJ’s post #1572

What compels the \Screen Actors Guild\ to run to Herridge’s defense in this?
You are watching a movie?
CBS seized her material off of their computers; they also seized her office files. We don't know how much confidential info she had there, what she was required to reveal.
Up until this incident, NO media org has failed to stand with their investigative journalist to protect sources. Perhaps your precautions will now be taken into account.
My point is, Catherine Herridge's career is ruined and her safety may be threatened. Now no good journalist can trust their employer to protect them. If they have to reveal their sources to their employers - likely due to legal issues - the journalism trade is severely compromised. As you say, it will now become a whole new ballgame.
Kash Patel understood my point.
