EXCERPT:

BERMAN: "A non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors."
HAYDEN: "Exactly right. That’s how we viewed him and that's how we worked against him. I know this implicates some First Amendment protections. Is he or he is not a newsman? When I look at a newsman, I look at somebody like you and I expect you to curate information and to actually portray information in a logical sequence. I expect you to put information into context. That’s what a newsman does. This man suborns the theft of government secrets and publishes them wholesale.”
