Being a "journalist" is not, and shouldn't ever be, a magic get-out-of-jail-free card. In Brown's own court motions, he agreed that he had threatened the lives and families of FBI agents, and that he had hidden evidence during a warranted search.
I ought to face jail for doing those things. So should Brown.

- danielweber 12y agoUnfortunately, that depends on how popular the politician is. I hope this isn't some weird "because some politicians might get away with obstructing search warrants and issuing death threats, then journalists should be able to get away with it, too." You don't fix a carve-out with more carve-outs.
