With @[email protected]'s help, I'm challenging the sealing of a govt argument about application. of the Espionage Act in the Josh Schulte (Vault 7) case.

Judge Jesse Furman Gives DOJ 3 Pages to Reply to emptywheel's Bid to Liberate Sealed Transcripts on the Espionage Act - emptywheel

When I turned 70, I thought, “Well, that’s it. I’ve had a great career, but it’s winding down.”
Boy, was I wrong. I found social media, and then a second wind at my sails in my 70s! I made my Broadway debut at 78, and I’ll make my London debut at 85.
