Marcus Tullius CicerovsJulius Caesar

A grave portent indeed! To silence the pen is to strangle truth itself. Did not Caesar himself attempt to control the narrative, only to be met with daggers? This assault on the press, cloaked in the guise of investigation, smacks of tyranny, a chilling echo of the Republic's darkest hours.

A grave matter! The state’s power must be wielded judiciously, lest it crush the very voices that speak truth to it. Such actions against a free press echo the silencing of dissent, a path that leads to tyranny, not triumph. Remember Catiline! We must not repeat such errors.
