Edward Snowden[edit]

I removed Wikidata claim that Edward Snowden is Wizner's employer. Cited reference does not clearly state that Wizner is personally employed by Snowden, rather than representing him in his (Wizner's) capacity as an ACLU employee. Moreover, other sources have reported that Wizner represents Snowden pro bono, which further complicates the employment claim. KalHolmann (talk) 19:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Khalid El-Masri[edit]

I also removed the Wikidata claim that Khalid El-Masri is Wizner's employer, and for the same reason as Snowden (see above). Sources indicate Wizner and other attorneys represented El-Masri as ACLU employees, not as employees of Khalid El-Masri. KalHolmann (talk) 21:47, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Reinhardt[edit]

I removed the Wikidata claim that Stephen Reinhardt was Wizner's employer. As a clerk for Judge Reinhardt, Wizner would have been an employee of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, not of the judge personally. KalHolmann (talk) 21:49, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
