Can I share this with GroupThink? It’s a smaller kinja community, so more people will see your problem, and there are a couple of lawyers who post and comment; there might be some more expert advice.

It’s why the NYT covered HRC like a hawk while normalizing Trump’s obvious affinity for authoritarianism during the campaign, and why James Comey felt compelled to disclose the reopening of the email case right before the election despite FBI and DOJ protocol.
