Unpatriotic Act, Part 2

Ok, I've delved a little deeper. The declaration of John Doe makes clear that it is a small company as he is the sole employee. (While names were blacked out, gender was not!)

The final paragraph of his declaration is quite interesting. It is numbered 30 and says (I gave the blacked out parts letters so we can speculate on their contents):

"I find ironic that _____a______ I freely engaged in political debate on the government's use of the Patriot Act._______b________ I know much more about how the Patriot Act works. _______________________________________c_______________________________________________________________

What could be in those blanks??

Here are some ideas:
a. prior to this lawsuit
b. Now that I have been sued
c. I can no longer have any discussions about the Patriot Act, even though I am now one of the most well-educated persons on the subject in the United States of America.

a. as a government employee
b. Now as a private citizen
c. ???

More tomorrow. I'm hitting the wall.
