What happens if Congress calls hearings as reported by Hewitt? If they supoena Rather, what then? Rather will throw up a “protect the source shield” and defiantly go to jail to cheers all round as “protector” of what he is destroying.

This really needs to go to the appropriate regulatory agency and they need to hit the affiliates as well as CBS. If enough affiliates are hauled up before Congress then they will force CBS to disgorge.

This really does stretch belief beyond its limits. You couldn’t sell this as a fiction premise with a gun in your hand.
