Ellis is not refuting that she wrote the memos, and instead appears to be acknowledging their authenticity. As for attorney-client privilege, that doesn’t apply if the attorney and client are plotting criminal activity together. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/trump-lawyer-jenna-ellis-freaks-out-a… Ellis? You shouldn't be doing this.

I'd lost all my links to wikipedia forks, websearching hadn't worked, and was quite excited to see this.

This page also indirectly links to a number of third-party archives of wikipeda. It also gives instructions on running your own fork or mirror. The list of all mirrors considered active is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/All . The archive of sites that have gone down is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks/Archive . Attached is a very quick scrape of names and urls [sorry it is so hasty]. It contains 706 entries, and misses a number that have abnormal formatting.

A spokesperson for the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment. Lytle, who has since left the office, did not respond to requests for comment. That doesn’t surprise Geoffrey Stone, a University of Chicago law professor and constitutional law expert who has reviewed surveillance programs. When the government wants to investigate someone for doing something illegal or inappropriate, it has free rein so long as it doesn’t violate any specific law. “If there is no law or policy that specifically regulates it, then there’s nothing that prohibits it,” he said.

AP Vs US Govt
by professor rat 11 Dec '21

11 Dec '21

In a statement to Yahoo, after being told of the investigation into one of its reporters, an AP spokesperson, Lauren Easton, blasted CBP. “The Associated Press demands an immediate explanation from U.S. Customs and Border Protection as to why journalists including AP investigative reporter Martha Mendoza were run through databases used to track terrorists and identified as potential confidential informant recruits,” Easton told Yahoo News in a statement. “We are deeply concerned about this apparent abuse of power. This appears to be an example of journalists being targeted for simply doing their jobs, which is a violation of the First Amendment.”
