181. Interesting.....
In theory, a grand jury proceeding in an investigatory role has the power to compell journalists to reveal sources.... though the said journalist can opt to defy the order.

One of the six other journalists could also tell another journalist, who can then tell the authorities.

The White House can "order" employees to sign releases, allowing the media to speak openly. Fitzgerald was attempting to take this route.

I'm finding the senate "report" of interest ... there is a growing divide, as more democrats are starting to have some guts .... perhaps some conscience, too ....
