WTF is going on here?

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.
I've read that no one knows what the situation with Novak is because he's not talking about it and the government isn't leaking.* Why do you think he's being set up? From what I've heard, several other reporters know who Novak's sources were because the story was shopped around to others before Novak bit on it.

* eta: He may well have been served with a subpoena, but who would know?
