This is disturbing.
It's behind a firewall, but basically some Trump-supporting member of the Border Patrol interrogated a NY Times reporter, Ali Watkins, about how she got information and about a personal relationship she had with a Hill staffer. He didn't identify himself as a federal agent or give his name. Watkins used her reporter prowess to find it out.
This is obviously troubling for any number of reasons. Governments investigate leaks, from the point of view of the leaker, not the press. At least they shouldn't. And they shouldn't be using blackmail techniques.
To top it all off, the agent's name was Rambo. I mean...seriously.
