Sad part is many can't seem to understand this. And many don't understand that there are regulations and procedures for getting this info that were jumped over. They did not want to wait on the courts so they just threw all that was put in place after Watergate out the window.

That is why they MUST pass the "Press Shield Law" since DOJ had decided they can side step procedures. Hopefully they will get it instated before the US citizens are totally blinded.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said: “It seems to me clear that the actions of the department have in fact impaired the First Amendment.”
