“It is very, very important that whoever released that go to jail”

Good luck with that, Senator.

Here's my theory. A moral superiority has convinced them that it is better for the country to engage in cover up rather than follow the law.

Actually, it's not a theory. This is exactly what happened.

Remember Scooter Libby?

[Bogie]

As for the rest of us, it’s escape to Argentina.

Trey Gowdy mentioned a couple of suspect candidates yesterday when he asked Comey if Former CIA Dir. Brennan and Ben Rhodes had access to the Flynn information. Those two slime bags would be the first on my list to be the Leakers.

Contrast:

The FBI is protecting the one of twenty people who leaked Gen. Flynn’s name. And the FBI most likely isn’t investigating the issue, per Comey’s testimony.

The FBI aggressively investigated the theft of a sweaty athletic shirt. They have solved the crime and have photos of the thief — a member of the “credentialed media” — doing the deed. When the photos are shown on TV, the thief’s face is greyed out to protect him.

They’ll protect a media scum over a shirt, but are happy to spill their guts when it comes to national security. Really?

[M-cubed]

Ahh... why not polygraph the potential leakers? It’s a standard practice within the sensitive intelligence community.<<<

Are you kidding!!!!....the person who released that would turn states evidence in a heartbeat and up the chain of command it would go!!!.......The whole damned SWAMP would be implicated in corruption against the American people!!

I can promise you....NO ONE IS GOING TO JAIL FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME FOR THE LEAK...

[frnewsjunkie]

Yes, they should! But the example comey gave us for all of hillary’s crimes... doesn’t speak well of equal justice under the law. He even laid out what she did, and then did nothing.

There is so much corruption/criminal acts in our government, and they all know they won’t be in trouble (not paying taxes is minor, but if we did it, we’d be ruined for life)... UNLESS someone decides to hold them all accountable. If Trump doesn’t, no one will... ever!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I stand with Rand.

[lavaroise]

Mc Cain is very saddened by Rand

[Vaduz]

Democrats don’t go to jail they are the SS.

Paul seems to be the ONLY Republican willing to buck the establishment and stand with Trump on this.

[usconservative]

Paul told host George Stephanopoulos that it’s known that the Obama administration spied on former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. He was referring to transcripts of pre-inauguration phone calls between Flynn and the Russian ambassador being discussed with the press, as the envoy was being surveilled by the U.S. Those calls led to Flynn’s resignation.

What's being left out of this "reporting" is that Flynn was in TRUMP TOWER in NYC when he made those calls.

Tell me again Trump and/or his associates weren't WIRETAPPED in Trump Tower, FBI Director James Comey.

Comey LIED yesterday when he said Trump wasn't wiretapped. He most certainly WAS!

[Mike Darancette]

Since the source of the leak was most likely FBI/DOJ Comey should recuse himself from that investigation.

[ex-snook]

Yes, Mr. President, your Tower is a target.
