emptywheelDOJ argues they don't have to tell grand jurors that targets of an indictment are journalists and were acting as such.

The rest of this response--to Don Lemon et al's request for GJ transcripts--basically argues that DOJ didn't say anything incorrect and besides the President can say whatever he wants about defendants. Which is weird bc the filing confirms that Harmeet Dhillon lied about what the 8th C said.
A Harmeet flunky then says that Harmeet's promise (AFTER judges judged there was no PC against Don Lemon) to pursue Lemon to the end of the earth was equiv to Merrick Garland saying, if people broke the law we'll prosecute.
Harmeet's flunky says Harmeet didn't engage in name-calling.
Meanwhile, Harmeet RTed the White House's racist AI slop targeting Nekima Levy Armstrong.
Harmeet's flunky: That racist White House AI slop doesn't speak for DOJ (in spite of Trump's claims about being prosecutor in chief).
Does HARMEET not speak for DOJ?
