Why Is Joe Biden's DOJ Prosecuting a Journalist While Pretending Otherwise?

I don't entirely get how "being a journalist" is determined. We don't have any register of journalists. You don't need a certification. We're all "journalists" now -- and probably always have been.

It sounds to me as if he was not in violation of the law, regardless of whether he was a "journalist". But I am not a lawyer, and I've found that I rarely understand lawyers' reasoning.

In this case, the "victim" was Fox News. Perhaps they're claiming their own special protection on the grounds of being journalists, even though it was their own mistake that let this become public?

Unless there is political pressure to protect journalism, the Democrats will just drift along in the Republican's wake, as they do in so many issues.
