Whether the Fourth Estate (the press), whose traditional role included keeping an eye on the government and reporting their doings to the people, is now criminal, affording an unwarranted degree of secrecy to government actions.
Statement by Gary Hunt Regarding the Freedom of the Press - Show Cause Hearing of August 23, 2017
I intended to write an article about the Freedom of the Press hearing in Portland, Oregon. However, since I had decided to testify, I had mentally prepared to answer cross-examination questions, should they be asked. My problem in writing this is that the answers given and the answers not given are mingled together in my mind, I can't quite sort them out and be sure of the accuracy of what I say. As to discussing other matters that were brought up, as well as examination and cross-examination of the government's two witnesses, FBI SA Jason Kruger and FBI SA Matthew Catalano, are also mingled in my mind, as well as much that was presented by both the prosecuting attorney and my able counsel, Michael Rose.
