Please understand that I have many contacts with the law-enforcement
community, and have had them for many years. Please also understand that I
don't disclose every legally related communication to foundation-l.

What I said, generally, remains true: that if DOJ has a problem with
Wikimedia content or policies, I'll likely be the first to hear about it. We
have not yet been contacted by DOJ or any state law-enforcement agency
regarding the content that PM is so very deeply concerned with and focused
on.
