Trump doesn't know how government works other than playing king. How is that better?
He's less capable and more easily thwarted and has awakened the fourth estate.
Here is the techdirt article: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20171023/18275838465/doj-s... That also includes this gem: "* As an aside, look closely at that criminal complaint against Shafer.

Techdirt is a self-proclaimed rumor mill. Taking a particular viewpoint and expounding on it endlessly as proper context, leaves a lot of telltale quips like how "clueless" actors are being. Postmortems years later consistently show a misunderstanding of what the goals were and why the actions seemed misdirected. The DoJ almost always has a strategy. With the litany of secret processes the US Government navigates, th…
With all due respect, the justice department probably got the subpoena to cover all their bases. Regardless of why, I don't think there is any right of privacy through Twitter. It's a private company. If they want to hand over Ken White's identity, without a subpoena, they can.
But the government can't _make_ twitter do what the government wants, at least not without good reason.

What possible justification is there for submitting an in-progress legal document besides a mistake?

Source please. He appears to know how government works from his working with Congress to pass bills

I browse with Firefox for Android and a combination of the uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, and Cookies AutoDelete add-ons. Without them I'd feel almost naked.
Have you tried uMatrix by the author of uBlock Origin? It takes getting used to but really allows you granular control of 3rd party requests on both a site-by-site and global basis. Word of warning, most uMatrix users I've met say it becomes depressing to see how many 3rd party requests most websites require before they are even usable. It becomes very obvious very quickly.

Really? I've been reading it pretty regularly since the year it started (20 years ago) and wouldn't characterize it that way at all. One of the authors is quite snarky, true, but Masnick, the founder, isn't.
> The DoJ almost always has a strategy. With the litany of secret processes the US Government navigates, there's no reason to think that they are acting "crazy" when we know there is a lack of information about what is possible.
(This is independent of my comment about Techdirt). The DoJ is an institution constituted of humans and is capable of the same rationalities, irrationalities, and prejudices as any other organization. Looking over the last 120 years (since 1900) it's had highs to be proud of and lows to be ashamed of.
