I wonder how many journalists will go to jail?

    If a reporter won’t go to jail to protect their sources, then they’re not a good reporter imo. That’s like, a huge part of their job.

    They might not even know the source. The Guardian for example has a Tor service to upload them stuff completely anonymously.

    Of course the crooked courts will pretend they're refusing to comply and jail them anyway to make a show.

    For some reason, he seems extra butthurt about getting caught lying this time.

    It's because fascists always have to be right and be the strongest. So strong that any resistance means destruction and the only path of survival is to fall in line.

    He insisted the attacks destroyed key enriched uranium stockpiles, despite Iranian assertions that the material had been relocated before the strikes.

    Trump dismissed the leaked intelligence assessment in question – which suggested the strikes only temporarily disrupted Iran’s nuclear development – as incomplete and biased.

    Not only is he not as strong as he says, he looks downright weak. It's personally dangerous to his image and is a test of power to those within the GOP. He needs complete loyalty so others will follow his orders without question. But the question is now "is it worth it?"

    And there were real believers within the GOP who wanted to avoid WW3 or a nuclear engagement only to see AIPAC have more pull than actual Americans in the deployment of American muscle. Trump needs to keep those stragglers in line or risk having a shattered party that can't do anything but in-fight over the next 3 years.

    He's fighting this so hard because this is a fight for his future.

    The funny part is the leak could only have come from inside his administration and party because he withheld briefings from his political opponents

    "force" in this case means "extort information" or just straight up applied violence, I assume.
