The seizure of a reporter's electronic devices is an unconstitutional violation of First Amendment rights and a threat to the freedom of the press.

“We have privilege in this country. We have a first amendment right. And it went before a US magistrate judge, William Porter, who um has, at least for now, he's holding the ring.”

Media reporting that someone is a suspect in a police investigation is not defamatory and does not warrant a successful lawsuit.

“What exactly does that mean? What is a suspect? A suspect means it's somebody that the police are looking at that they suspect is right there in the word might have done it. And the entire world is a suspect than a who done it like this.”

Law enforcement taking a reporter's devices via search warrant is an unjustifiable and dramatic step that crosses a professional line.

“No, it's it's it's I mean, why didn't they subpoena the information? Like, the fact that they went straight to a search warrant is really, I think, a very dramatic step.”
