But club and I have already yelled at each other and bored the board over this topic, so I'll drop it there.

Ty brings up this point too. But we know what Novak did. Is he being threatened? Was he set up? I'm not asking why they are protecting their sources. I disagree that they should, but I understand that they think they have some constitutional protection here.
My question is more, how did we get from hanging Novak to executing search warrants on the NYT and the WaPo? Is this where the trail goes cold? Well, I'll leave it there too, as I'm sure y'all see what I'm saying here. Nothing to do with protecting the sources. All to do with where the trail seems to have ended.
