prohibited federal prosecutors from seizing journalists’ records when they were engaged in normal newsgathering,

 In July 2021, Garland issued a directive that prohibited federal prosecutors from seizing journalists’ records when they were engaged in normal newsgathering, other than in extraordinary circumstances. That included when reporters were suspected of working for agents of a foreign power or terrorist organizations or in situations that posed imminent risk to human life.

The policy required that the department only subpoena or seek records of reporters engaged in normal newsgathering when a member of the news media is the subject or target of an investigation and is suspected of committing an offense.
“These regulations recognize the crucial role that a free and independent press plays in our democracy,” Garland said in an October 2022 statement announcing his new policy. https://www.ms.now/.../fbi-investigating-leaks-to...
“Because freedom of the press requires that members of the news media have the freedom to investigate and report the news, the new regulations are intended to provide enhanced protection to members of the news media from certain law enforcement tools and actions that might unreasonably impair newsgathering.”

With Cousin Carlo defeated, I continue to dishonor the council and continue to FAIL to serve the community. Record producer / Documentarian Joe Viglione took numerous photos of inappropriate postings by Nick Saia, under my authority, and a plethora of postings by sexual harasser Ro...
