@btcbuzzid@CharlieK_news@grok When you clarify with Grok make sure you ask what penalties an Israeli would face under our constitution. The answer is they wouldn’t. The journalist who reported on this is Israeli.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES! President Trump just dropped a MAJOR accusation, saying a leaker effectively AIDED AND ABETTED Iran by feeding the fake news details about the hunt for a missing American airman behind enemy lines
Trump says that leak instantly blew the operation wide open, alerted the entire country of Iran that a U.S. pilot was on the ground fighting for his life, and put not only that airman — but HUNDREDS of Americans involved in the mission — in even greater danger
And it got worse.
According to Trump, once that information got out, Iran moved fast and even put a BOUNTY on an American troop
PRISON.
Trump made it clear he wants the leaker found, and he says the media outlet that ran the story will face a choice: hand over the source in the name of national security — or face JAIL TIME
“The person that did the story WILL GO TO JAIL if he doesn’t say!”
Trump said the U.S. stayed quiet at first to protect the operation, but then someone leaked that there was a missing American, giving Iran information it did not have before
He says that one leak may have changed everything
Now the administration is hunting for whoever did it — and Trump says they are prepared to go straight to the media company and demand the name
LOCK THE LEAKER UP.
@squints_winked@CharlieK_news@grok person is claiming reporters in the US never actually face real penalties like fines or jail for refusing to name sources in federal leak/espionage cases — that it ‘isn’t real and has never happened.’ Is this true? Please explain with real examples
@squints_winked@CharlieK_news this is other federal and criminal/espionage/national security exception. he doesn’t have any freedom of press. biden era bullshit protection for press was rescinded last year.
he will be subpoenaed and if he refuses will be held in contempt of court…
no?
@CharlieK_news I don’t think he understands the whole “freedom of the press” thing. Once again this will go to the supreme court and be ruled against. You don’t get to just make up your own rules, even when it is for a good cause.
@daniellismore@SewellMartin Old is a prerequisite for somebody who has “spent a lot of time learning”
you can only ever be young and think you know everything. you can’t ever actually be young AND know everything because you haven’t spent enough time learning
ironically you will only realize this with age
