I should also add that numerous responsible journalists often refer their whistleblower sources to us for legal protection. They maintain their journalistic integrity AND protect their source. These are not mutually exclusive. — PolitiTweet.org

We also frequently provide pro bono legal advice to journalists, many of whom we represent, on how best to protect themselves and their sources. Serious professional journalists do their best to minimize any harm to US national security interests. There is a proper balance. — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, unlike how Poitras helped Snowden violate US law & harm our national security interests, we are willing to provide #natsec #whistleblowers with pro bono (FREE) legal assistance to ensure they do not leak classified info but still can report wrongdoing. — PolitiTweet.org

Mark S. Zaid @MarkSZaidEsq

Contrary to what Poitras writes, it is possible to overstate dangerous precedent Assange’s indictment under Espionage Act & possible extradition. She does exactly that. Classified info needs to be protected, especially from ideological leaking. https://t.co/7g6Lgnrdb3 — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardMonnick I recall the testimony, but they were witnesses. Even if DOJ was at the table, nothing in US law that I'm aware of precludes Fhimah's prosecution in US. If you have legal citation to contrary, I welcome reading it. — PolitiTweet.org
