Should government employees be prosecuted for leaking classified documents?

[Timmy]

I keep calling you bitches out and no reply .

I provided a link to an article that discusses the matter. It has NOT yet been determined, at least not publicly, if Comey actually leaked classified material.

Your OP says that he did. So you are full of shit.

Here's Trey Gowdy's take.

"What he says is a leak is what the rest of us call a felony," the former federal prosecutor said. "Leaking is disclosing a confidential conversation which is exactly what he did."

Trey Gowdy: James Comey's definition of a leak 'is what the rest of us call a felony'

what do ya think about this traitorous LAPD cop

Mambasse Koulabalo Patara has been charged with violating immigration laws, according to a federal complaint filed Wednesday.

He was arrested early Tuesday morning at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint in Pine Valley, located about 12 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border.

According to the complaint, at 12:15 a.m. Tuesday, Patara drove up to the checkpoint with two male passengers in a 2006 Toyota Corolla.

While being interviewed by Border Patrol agents, Koulabalo showed them his LAPD badge and stated he was off-duty, the complaint states. Agents later patted him down and found his service-issued gun in his waistband, the complaint reads.

Koulabalo reportedly told border agents his two passengers were U.S. citizens. The men, identified as Herman Lopez and his nephew German Ramirez Gonzalez, eventually admitted they were in the country illegally.

I would hope it means jail time, but would guess he only gets tossed from the LAPD. Then he'll sue the city and get millions...go figure.

I wouldn't think so. The LAPD will probably want to display some sort of moral high ground and suggest they take care of their own, whether good or bad.

i just checked he is charged with federal crimes

 

[CrusaderFrank]

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

Uhhhh . The laws don’t apply to law enforcement.

It sounds like he did to me, it's just a matter of time before he's officially charged.

Let’s back a minute .

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

From Wikipedia:

The United States government classification system is established under Executive Order 13526, the latest in a long series of executive orders on the topic.[1] Issued by President Barack Obama in 2009, Executive Order 13526 replaced earlier executive orders on the topic and modified the regulations codified to 32 C.F.R. 2001. It lays out the system of classification, declassification, and handling of national security information generated by the U.S. government and its employees and contractors, as well as information received from other governments.[2]

The full information can be found @ Classified information in the United States - Wikipedia

Sadly, Congress has continually refused to establish legislation to deal with the classification process. As a Sergeant First Class with access to Top Secret material, I frequently classified documents as Secret.

 

[DJT for Life]

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.

Comey was the head of the FBI. He makes items classified. He knows
what is considered classified materials.

When he gave out info that he knew would be marked classified at
best he was guilty.

If it wasn't classified at the time it sure as hell isn't illegal.

One more time Igor...

He was the head of the FBI. He was the individual that determines
what's classified and what isn't. If others classified it later...he is still
accountable because he would have known it was classified.

Just because he didn't write it on the paper doesn't absolve him of
his wrong doing

 

[bullwinkle]

Here's Trey Gowdy's take.

"What he says is a leak is what the rest of us call a felony," the former federal prosecutor said. "Leaking is disclosing a confidential conversation which is exactly what he did."

Trey Gowdy: James Comey's definition of a leak 'is what the rest of us call a felony'

Are 'confidential' and 'classified' interchangeable? Because I always thought "classified' had something to do with national security, and confidential had something to do with 'between us, but not nationally significant'. Gowdy is confusing CYA with Classified. You'd think he'd know better after all these years of witch hunting.

Hey sarge, is the President demanding loyalty and asking FBI to 'back off' (Flynn) something thing you would classify as a national secret?

Confidential is a level of classification just below Secret and just above For Official Use Only.

Yes yes. Law enforcement always answers for their crimes!

So what was Comeys confidential leak? That he got two scoops of ice cream ?
