You should probably include a couple things:

  1. No one else has ever, or is currently in a similar field of work. This isn't just news, it's sensitive information that could cost lives if treated incorrectly.

  2. (Julian had made this point regarding FBI investigation of Wiener emails). You cannot simply view it as meta-data, each email requires a human eye to detect inconsistencies and connections that may apply to more than one conversation or topic.

  3. I'm not sure how the verification process works. The only way I would have issue, is if those leaks were being stalled due to "administration and logistics". A two week delay in releasing due to an internal conflict on what/when would have the most impact is going to be where internal agenda will trump (no pun intended) your mission statement.

Despite the counter, you guys are the gatekeepers, whether you like it or not. Maybe not in the sense of censorship, but in the sense that no one else has this information and is willing to provide it to the general public.

They aren't the only Fortune500 company with a keyboard army...

I'm just pointing out this is totally normal in the current corporate structure, and you might have an opinion of something based on those armies. Asroturfing is very real.

This is a weird one, but prior to leaving the profession/Alaska, did you notice companies buying up medical practices/hospitals in the area?

UnityPoint, Trinity, or Ascension health networks?

SuperPACs only exist to obfuscate the source of money going into US elections.
