Didn’t any of the insurance people watch die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard)? It’s not just the Chinese who may be a problem, it’s the domestic terrorists that the US seems to grow.

“Times Journalists Subpoenaed as Trump Escalates Pressure on Media”

“The Justice Department is seeking to compel testimony from reporters who wrote about the new Air Force One. The Times called the move a “brazen act.”

The subpoenas — which seek to force the reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday — were an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.

In some cases, the subpoenas were delivered by federal agents who showed up at reporters’ homes.“
