From the
Guardian<http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/oct/13/trafigura-tweets-freedowm-of-speech>(emphasis
added):

One of the quickest to reveal the full story was a 34-year old human rights
activist, Richard Wilson. He was baking a banana cake in his kitchen in
London when he first found out about the gag on the Guardian from a message
posted on Twitter.

A few minutes of frantic internet searching later he published the fact that
the gag related to Farrelly's questions about Trafigura. He also published
the text of the questions itself and became so absorbed in cracking the
puzzle, his cake burned to a crisp. He said it was a small price to pay.

"I knew Trafigura were incredibly litigious and I knew Carter Ruck were
defending them," he explained. "I had a hunch, so *I went to the website of
the parliamentary order papers where they publish all the questions,
searched for Trafigura and a question from Farrelly popped up* and I tweeted
it straight away. It took several tweets and then I pasted in the link."

Parliamentary privilege + Searchable questions = Trump information source.

(Well, alright - it relied on Wilson's knowledge of the link between
Trifigura and Carter Ruck as well. But let's not let facts get in the way of
a good case study.)
