Norm Pattis Critiques Government Overreach and First Amendment Violations

Attorney Norm Pattis delivers a detailed critique of the Department of Justice's prosecution of Owen Shroyer, comparing the government's "overreaction" to the 1993 Waco siege. Pattis explains that Shroyer cooperated with the FBI by turning over his phones and sitting for interviews, yet the government "welched" on implied promises of leniency. He asserts that the judge explicitly used Shroyer's protected political speech to "move the needle" toward incarceration, setting a dangerous precedent for all journalists.
