JTN: A federal judge ordered CBS News senior correspondent Catherine Herridge to reveal her sources for a series of stories about the FBI’s investigation of a Chinese American scientist back when she worked for Fox News.
The order last week from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington D.C. comes after scientist Yanping Chen filed a lawsuit against the FBI, claiming that the agency violated the privacy act by improperly leaking information about her.
While working at Fox News in 2017, Herridge used a confidential source or sources to obtain material about the federal counterintelligence probe of Chen.
The Fox series focused on Chen, who was associated with China’s People’s Liberation Army and is president of the taxpayer-funded University of Management and Technology in Rosslyn, Va. Chen’s husband, J. Davidson Frame, is dean of the university. The FBI raided the school twice in 2012, but even after the raids, it still received more than $6 million from the Defense Department. more
Uh-oh!… someone is gonna be in trouble…maybe? Who knows?
Only leftist media are able to protect their sources…
I’ve always liked Catherine Herridge. She has a nice, strong jawline.
So the “rights” of Chinese spies trumps the First Amendment and legal precedent. According to the Obama-appointed judge. Hang tough, Catherine.
Do you need more proof the commchinks own our government?
So throw the log of a confidential source on the funeral pyre of the Bill of Rights. I’d tell the judge to fucking sit on it and rotate.
Herridge donated part of her liver to her infant son to save his life. She is a strong woman and has more guts than everyone in DC combined.
