THREAD 1/I've co-authored a forthcoming book on the Espionage Act + free speech, testified as an expert witness on the Act and quoted in Post etc on it - happy to interview on/off record (DM, carey [AT] cshenkman.com).
press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=36gm… 2/The Espionage Act is a convoluted and contentious law. The leading legal article on it is over 100 pages long, so it's okay for journos if it's a head scratcher. That said, Trump warrant *could* be a canary in the coalmine for critical, imminent free speech battles in the US.
