Maxine Waters is a traitor to this country and I'm sure that some here will stand up for her treason and rush to join her cause. Just remembet the fate of traitors in the end.
This is an evil, stupid woman.
We already have the laws, amigo. Its the enforcement that's an issue, its a good 'ol boy policy. Runs from the local level all the way up. Originally Posted by texmwmI agree. I was thoroughly briefed on Title 50 ... long ago.
They don't have an inviolate "right" to "freedom of the press" do they?
That is part of what is better about the Brits with security leaks/legal proceedings. They do a far better job of news blackout until it is over than we do. M Originally Posted by Old-T

A very different situation that WW-II and much of the cold war period. I do not think different means better in this case.
That "right" in this country has been morphed into some distorted, fucked up perspective that the individual's "privilege" and "status" of reporting outweighs the security of the other 300 million in this country (give or take 100,000).
Someone seems to be yelling "fire" in the theater daily. Originally Posted by LexusLover

That would hopefully slam ALL people who leak classified materiel.
The problem is we will never get a strong law like that because there would be lots of Wackos on both fringes who think it is perfectly justified to leak secrets that discredit their opponents.
There are pleanty of people who are livid about MW's comment who applauded leaks in tbe Obama years. Pleanty on this board I would guess. Originally Posted by Old-T

And at a minimum just ask Martha Stewart .. all she did was lie.
Comey damaged the integrity of your "security" in this country by pretending that certain crimes against the country could not be prosecuted without direct evidence of intent to injure the country. He was wrong on the law, and it has been brought to his attention numerous times since he made that dumbass remark. Originally Posted by LexusLover
