The report reveals that while Bill Barr approved subpoenas targeting journalists, he did not conduct the mandated review by a media committee, raising ethical questions.
The investigation largely failed to yield results aside from the conviction of James Wolfe, highlighting the ineffectiveness of the DOJ's approach to leak investigations.
The previous justification for subpoenaing journalists rested on a knee-jerk rationale at the time, with no significant efforts made to spice up the investigative strategies.
Despite some established protocols for handling inquiries involving the media, the DOJ's actions appeared to contravene these protections, spurring debates on press freedom.
