>And the premise of your comment is that DoJ investigating it was somehow abusive. Was it? I don't think I ever made that claim. I was just commenting that Snowden has demonstrated a prior knowledge of tactics that would be used against him, and perhaps selected Lavabit specifically because he knew Ladar Levison would raise holy hell. I compared it to his selection of Greenwald to report the stories. I actually think Levison's case is pretty weak, and I'm not sure I support him in his decision. I think he's clearly antagonistic and I don't think his case is a good one to support. But I can see it from his point of view, too. Having seen the Snowden revelations, I wouldn't want to help the NSA either. My guess, and this is totally unfounded in evidence, is that Snowden left a papertrail using his lavabit account, knowing full well that DoJ would investigate Levison.
