Should government employees be prosecuted for leaking classified documents?

[Timmy]

Then why should someone be thrown in jail over somthing that’s not a big deal.

So you're cool with someone leaking to the press names of, let's say, informants within ISIS and Al Qaeda that are giving us intelligence, right?

Look. It’s one thing if someone is leeking launch codes. That’s a secret . It’s release puts people in danger .

But if it gets out trump likes to be peed on...

Again. What was the classified info Comey leaked ?

 

[Kondor3]

Yes

 

[busybee01]

Take James Comey. He leaked classified materials, right? Should he be prosecuted or should he get a pass? And, if not, then can we agree that any government employee can leak anything they like?

'Clear double standard': As Comey denies illegally leaking memo, others prosecuted for mishandling classified material

He did not leak any classified information. He released his personal notes on his meetings with Trump. A wise precaution given Trump's propensity to lie.

What did he illegally leak? Nothing. Just because you think it is illegal does not mean it is.

Let’s back a minute .

What is a “classified document “ and who decides what is deemed “classified “?

Quit falling down the well, it depends on what the Definition of is... is

Yeah........releasing information of an ongoing investigation that is in the custody of the FBI is COOL..............NOT......

He was fired when he released it BTW.....no longer worked there...........Who gave him permission to disclose............

Clapper is in Hot Water also.................

Patience Grasshopper............the charges will come out in this.........

Here is a piece that discusses the allegations of Comey leaking classified materials.

DOJ watchdog opens investigation into leaked Comey memos containing information that is now classified

So it was classified afterwards not when it occurred.

Why won’t you tell me what Comey disclosed?

 

[K9Buck]

Per the link I shared on page 2 of this thread, it sounds pretty serious. But, if he did, he shouldn't face any penalty because, after all, he was doing it to hurt Trump, so it's ok. Right?

Excerpt from the aforementioned article:

• At least two of the memos Comey gave to Richman contain information officials now consider to be classified, according to The Wall Street Journal.

So as long as the leaking of classified documents hurts Republicans, it's fine, right? But if it were done to hurt a Democrat, then they should receive the Seth Rich treatment, right?

The problem you are struggling with is this confusing concept of before and after.

To be determined by a courtroom in the near future................

He released them to start an investigation.......in his own words...........

Generally meetings with the President are at minimal Confidential........Taking them to the PRESS..............wrong protocol...........

He could have went to the Senate intel committee to file a complaint behind closed doors.........

No......he went to CNN
THE COLLUSION NEWS NETWORK.

Yea, I'm not sure how that system works. In any event, I take it you have no problem with employees leaking government secrets as long as its helpful to the DNC, right?
