Yep. But FR is going full tin foil today.
“Yep. But FR is going full tin foil today.”
Sometimes tin is the only appropriate thing to wear.
I agree that the DOJ did not likely get the content of the calls, but the fact remains that the DOJ did get the information that the calls were being made, and to whom and from whom. It has its own benefit, as the military has used this sort of information for a long time, known as “traffic analysis.”
If the DOJ can piece together which reporter is talking to which Congressman, you don’t necessarily need to know what they said. It would be enough to know that if a reporter is regularly talking to a conservative Congressman, that reporter gets “blacklisted” and isn’t invited to Carney’s private backstage media parties.
It’s still pretty Stalinist.
