I think everyone would agree the leaker should be more cautious, but The Intercept should also know best practices too around printed materials too.

- tanderson92 9y agoI think everyone would agree with that. The question then becomes: did The Intercept not follow best practices here? Once again, there is no evidence and any "yes" answer relies on trusting the NSA/DOJ.

- tanderson92 9y agoThanks.
- florean 9y agoThey did not. They told a government contractor that the document had been printed and mailed from Augusta, GA, who then reported it to the government. That's what got her, microdots or not. You can read the search warrant at https://www.buzzfeed.com/stevenperlberg/a-federal-government-contractor-has-been-charged-with https://www.buzzfeed.com/stevenperlberg/a-federal-government..., which is more complete than the arrest warrant. Just read paragraphs 12-19, which cover the relevant probable cause. If the FBI don't know how it leaked (printed) and from where (Winner's home town), the case becomes extremely difficult. Instead, they had so much that she just confessed when they showed up.
