<\/span>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Lawyers for the Times sought to quash those subpoenas. <\/p><p>Sean Buckley, a longtime SDNY prosecutor who is currently listed as the chief counsel to the U.S. attorney in that office, remained defensive as he stood to answer a barrage of questions from the judge.<\/p><p>Buckley said he oversaw the investigation and knew about the established restrictions limiting the government\u2019s ability to pressure journalists to give up their sources, but that \u201cthose additional steps were not yet identified\u201d by prosecutors before they pursued subpoenas.<\/p><p>\u201cNo one was looking to pull a fast one on the courts or anyone else,\u201d he told the judge.<\/p>\n<p>Subramanian asked a series of questions about the way the government sent FBI agents to reporters homes on July 10 to serve subpoenas compelling them to testify before a grand jury \u2014 and later tried to order communication service providers to fork over records of the reporter\u2019s phone exchanges.<\/p><p>The backdrop to his questions is decades of government attempts to spy on journalists that resulted in First Amendment legal protections \u2014 in the form of official DOJ internal policies and case law \u2014 that demand prior authorization from DOJ brass and an investigation involving immediate risk to human lives.<\/p><p>The DOJ is also limited in its ability to force companies to keep silent about government attempts to acquire records of their customers\u2019 private communications if the target is a reporter engaged in their constitutionally protected right to free speech.<\/p><p>Subramanian repeatedly asked Buckley if the government would be willing to simply withdraw the subpoenas. For the first hour, the prosecutor wouldn\u2019t budge.<\/p><p>Subramanian quickly brought up how prosecutors, in court filings earlier this week, said they at first had not alerted lawyers for the journalists about subpoenas to third parties for phone numbers. The revelation came in a  on Monday in which prosecutors cited \u201cadditional case law that the government identified after the issuance of the subpoenas.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t that mean you failed the <i>Gonzalez<\/i> test?\u201d the judge asked, referring to the appellate case that created that requirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose additional steps were not yet identified,\u201d Buckley responded.<\/p><p>\u201cWhy doesn\u2019t that mean that the motion to quash is granted?\u201d the judge replied, shaking his head.<\/p><p>Subramanian remained focused on what he described as the government\u2019s failure to properly investigate a matter before threatening journalists with jail time if they didn\u2019t reveal their sources. The judge stressed that prosecutors were bound by a responsibility to investigate the matter before resorting to a drastic measure that would implicate \u201cthe profound First Amendment and free press issues.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cDoesn\u2019t that turn the law and regulation on its head?\u201d the judge asked. \u201cSubpoenas are the last step, not the first step.\u201d<\/p><p>Subramanian added: \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of just basic compliance to the law.\u201d<\/p><p>Buckley contended there was <span><u>an exception<\/u><\/span> to those restrictions that allows the nation\u2019s attorney general to approve intrusive subpoenas, but that only drew further rebuke from the judge after he read the statute.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1648\">House Republicans Focus on Democrats\u2019 Plans, Not Their Own Wins<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow is this an exception of the basic rule that\u2019s literally two provisions above it?\u201d Subramanian said.<\/p><p>He referred to the provision that says \u201cthe government should have made all reasonable attempts to obtain the information, communications records, or business records from alternative sources.\u201d<\/p><p>The DOJ was placed yet again on the defensive when the judge demanded that prosecutors explain why they had also sought the communication records of two Times reporters\u2019 spouses and another reporter\u2019s mother.<\/p><p>\u201cThat was an error which we own,\u201d Buckley said. \u201cIt was a consequence of us trying to move quickly.\u201d<\/p><p>Subramanian then demanded to hear from Kevin Sullivan, a prosecutor who normally works on high-profile terrorism cases but was on this investigation\u2019s team. The judge commanded Sullivan to get up from the gallery, where he was sitting with the crowd, and position himself at the prosecution team\u2019s table.<\/p><p>Subramanian then questioned why Sullivan signed off on a subpoena on July 14 that stated the investigation was not public \u2014 days after the Times had already published a story about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour Honor, the wording was imprecise,\u201d Sullivan said.<\/p><p>And when Sullivan tried to privately converse with his fellow prosecutors, the judge interrupted him with a \u201chold on!\u201d Subramanian then asked Sullivan why his subpoena application to another judge made no mention that the supposedly non-public investigation was in fact a highly publicized and controversial national story involving the Times.<\/p><p>\u201cJudge, it was an oversight on the government\u2019s part,\u201d Sullivan said, while throwing up both hands with a shrug.<\/p><p>Subramanian raised the possibility of personally holding the prosecutors accountable for misconduct, noting that, in a civil case, he would now be considering sanctions. He then turned back to Buckley.<\/p><p>\u201cAre you still on this investigation?\u201d he asked.<\/p><p>\u201cYes, Your Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, are you going to do this again?\u201d the judge said.<\/p><p>\u201cAbsolutely not, Your Honor,\u201d Buckley said.<\/p><p>Subramanian later pressed Buckley on how the senior prosecutor could make so many missteps while claiming to have already been familiar with the rules. Buckley then said he doesn\u2019t \u201creview every piece of paper\u201d under his command.<\/p><p>Prosecutors called for a five-minute break, during which Buckley walked out of the courtroom. He was seen placing four phone calls and quickly typing messages on his phone as he paced along a window that faced Lower Manhattan.<\/p><p>When someone called him, Buckley ducked into a conference room. Once he was back in the courtroom, Buckley said the government was now prepared to \u201cunilaterally withdraw\u201d the subpoenas \u2014 but that the investigation would continue and that reporters might be subpoenaed again in the future.<\/p><p>\u201cMoving forward, we\u2019re not going to have the kinds of errors that have plagued this case so far?\u201d the judge asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, your Honor,\u201d Buckley said.<\/p><p>Subramanian then made Buckley \u201cpledge\u201d that he would follow the law and regulations, referring to the exchange as a necessary \u201csoliloquy.\u201d<\/p><p>David O\u2019Neil, a Washington lawyer representing the newspaper, noted that \u201cthe record here is replete with bad faith.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1644\">Senate Democrats Ask Watchdog to Probe Trump Gutting Offshore Wind<\/a><\/p><p>Buckley leaned into the microphone.<\/p><p>\u201cWe dispute any allegation of bad faith, and we\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government admits \u201cmistakes\u201d in probe of sources for articles about Air Force One security concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trump-white-house"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
