Yes, I read the article. Clearly, you've missed the title that obviously seems to imply that the "fascist" Trump regime is behind the push to target Poitras.

Thanks for being condescending, it really added to the substantive productive discourse I come to HN for ;)

What does "I am guilty of violating the Espionage Act" have to do with Trump?

>To really make the claim that going after journalists with the espionage act is purely a Trump position

It's hard to see the connection between the article and the above quote. No one made any claim about Trump, and even if they had, the piece is almost entirely about the Obama admin, so it certainly isn't "purely" about Trump.
