True or False: Bob Schwartz's ability to report on illegal activities made him a government official during the investigation of child pornography.

The correct response is that Bob Schwartz's ability to report on illegal activities does not make him a government official. Being a government official typically requires a formal position within a government entity, holding specific responsibilities and authority granted by law or regulation. Reporting illegal activities, even if critical for investigations, does not equate to having the status or functions characteristic of a government official. Therefore, Bob Schwartz, while possibly acting as a whistleblower or informant, would not hold the status of a government official merely based on his reporting. The nuances of jurisdiction do not change this fundamental aspect of what defines a government official.
