> Imagine not reporting on the fact that a federal institution is trying to test their limits. Subpoenaing sources is standard operating procedure for all law enforcement agencies (from the FBI, to ICE, to your local PD). As mentioned in a different post, it's a low-risk, high-reward legal strategy, even though it won't work 99.9% of the time. It's making a mountain out of a molehill.
