The media is "ethically bound" not to reveal their sources, so they will refuse to comply with subpoenas. Then they will be held in contempt and jailed. This is what happened to Judy Woodroff in the Valarie Plame affair. When they finally break and squeal we'll get the leakers and give them 50 year prison sentences.

it's not hard to get rid of the leakers. start by firing the obama holdovers in the NSC, fire McMaster, fire Dina Powell, fire every never Trumper in the administration, remove Susan Rice's security clearance (LOL she still has it thanks to McMaster) and go from there.

trump doesn't care about getting rid of the leakers though.

Media has no first amendment right to refuse to reveal the name of government employees who illegally leaked info to them. They aren't being charged with *publishing* the info. They are being subpoenaed for info re the illegal leak. This has been settled in court.

You have a first amendment right NOT to say something? The first amendment lets you say what you want (within limits). It doesn't prevent you from giving testimony at a trial, answering subpoenas, etc. The fifth protects you against self incrimination but I don't think that could apply here.

I think you're right, but I'm not sure if it's ever been tested at the Supreme Court in a journalism case. Seems somewhat analogous to the case allowing journalists to publish unlawfully obtained information.

On October 1, 2004, federal Judge Thomas F. Hogan found Miller in contempt of court for refusing to appear before a federal grand jury, which was investigating who had leaked to reporters the fact that Valerie Plame was a CIA operative. Miller did not write an article about the subject at the time of the leak, but others did, notably Robert Novak, spurring the investigation. Judge Hogan sentenced her to 18 months in jail, but stayed the sentence while her appeal proceeded. On February 15, 2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously upheld Judge Hogan's ruling. On June 17, 2005, the US Supreme Court declined to hear the case. On July 6, 2005, Judge Hogan ordered Miller to serve her sentence at "a suitable jail within the metropolitan area of the District of Columbia". She was taken to Alexandria City Jail on July 7, 2005.[33][34]

Actually, it looks like the Supreme Court addressed the matter in 1972 (at least in the case of grand jury testimony), and rejected the notion of a reporter privilege under the First Amendment.

The 5-to-4 decision rejected the government's view, as argued by both the Clinton and Bush administrations, that immigration law authorized and the Constitution permitted indefinite, even lifelong detention of immigrants adjudged deportable but unable to be repatriated.

Justice Stephen G. Breyer's majority opinion said that because interpreting the law in that way would present a ''serious constitutional threat'' under the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process, the court would construe the law to permit only ''reasonable'' detention. Justice Breyer said that after six months of detention, if deportation did not seem likely in the ''reasonably foreseeable future,'' the government would have to come up with special reasons for keeping someone in custody.
