Would be better wording I mean.
sabotage would involve destruction of property
I doubt the Jeff Session DoJ would issue a subpoena to the NYT over this. That would clear matters up really fast.
Lets not even humor this with the idea that it is real
Theyve had all their sources dried up so they're using their last ounce of credibility to try and spread distrust amongst the administration
I'm really curious though how subpoena authority interacts with the first amendment's protection of the freedom of the press.
If this article purports to be an admission of a federal crime, does the state attorney have the ability to issue a grand jury subpoena? I am neither a lawyer nor a journalist so I have no idea here.
The purpose of a grand jury subpoena as far as I'm aware is to gather information such that the grand jury can decide whether or not there is a crime. If the author of this article is not someone who has signed the affidavit pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3333 then there is no crime.
But obviously there has to be some sort of legal mechanism to protect sources who may have committed crimes in the process of disclosing information. I don't know how that plays out legally though.
Didn’t Obama put a journalist in jail for not disclosing a source?
Something about outing a CIA agent. Only barely remember it.
And Trump looks pissed huh.
Obama prosecuted a bunch of leakers, but under the espionage act which would not be applicable here.
Really when you read the article nothing was leaked. No classified information. It's basically just a long insult.
True.
well any thing could e national security purposes
I don't know. Using legal force against the media is something Trump has not done so far.
I don’t think Trump will take action on this. Legal or otherwise. It’s probably fake, and he knows it. I think he’s trolling the media with that tweet.

Burnie Sanders wants to pass a bill that will tax companies like Amazon and Walmart 100% of the cost for government welfare.
This bill will only tax companies with 500 or more employees, these are old numbers, but as per 2008 US census, the number of employees who work for large companies is 61 million which is about 51% of the
US workforce. As per dispatch.com, there are about 100K employees who are on public welfare and work for large companies. The bear of Labor Statistics says there are 51 million people on welfare and that the average family size of a family who receives welfare is about 4.
Crunching these numbers means that passing this tax will only remove about .01% of the people who are currently on welfare. Meaning this will do nothing and advocates vastly overstate the number of people who work for large companies and receive welfare or I am missing information and about half of the welfare recipients may be removed.
Not sure but this may actually be something I could agree with Burnie on. I hope he has put as much thought into this as I have.

Maybe try and get those companies to pay their workers better.
soo amazon will have 499 workers
the chain of logistics will split in several companies of 499 workers each
make sense
i dont hate bernie but he sounds like an idealistic middle school kido coming up with ideas

Mike "zap the gay away" pence is their hero?
I hope so
He's mine
I found him shocking initially
but then it was just a...
...Maybe I should stop.
There's actually a game called The Resistance.
Five to ten players play it. Two are spies.
(in the five player rules)
When I was a camp counselor I'd host this game with some of the kids
One time I decided I'd try an experiment
I rigged the game so that nobody was a spy.
So the way it goes, you get five missions. Spies have the choice to make a mission fail. Winning 3 out of 5 missions means the 'resistance' wins.
Failing three means the spies win. Spies know who each other are, resistance don't.
