The leaks were not a protected communication about prosecutorial misconduct. Talk of reprisal is inapposite.
The leaks were a violation of a protective order, concerning which the judge specifically told the prosecution that the government had "all the power to investigate."

An IP address is not privileged information. I do not see any ethical violation here, and literally nobody except wgj has even attempted to square this discussion with the ethics rules.
If the Defense team doesn't want to be investigated for violating a court order, they should stop violating court orders.
- chuckgreenman 7y agoProsecutor != Detective "All the power to investigate" != Blanket Warrant for what ever type of search or surveillance you like. Enjoy your Friday evening. Clearly you have found a niche in the military and government that rewards intractableness to the point of appearing obtuse to everyone else. You will not find this beneficial when interacting with people in the real world.
- torstenvl 7y agoI've found a niche that values rational thought. Enjoy your ad hominems - because, in the "real world," it doesn't matter how much you insult someone... it still won't make you right.
