-- What law will be violated? --

The NOC law, same one used to railroad Scooter Libby into a perjury trap.

50 USC 3121 - Protection of identities of certain United States undercover intelligence officers, agents, informants, and sources

[robel]

So now it’s illegal to investigate democrats illegal activity. Eight years of obama and spineless Republicans did a number with their heads.

Whatever person or persons committed acts to remove the Trump administration from holding office is guilty of Treason, aren't they? Since there's more than one, it's a coup attempt. Perhaps they should confer with President Erdogan about how to deal with a coup. Keeping this under raps for the sake of the investigation is one (1)enabling the coup to possibly succeed at the ballot box in November and (2) affecting this administrations ability to conduct foreign and national government activities.

Is it possible that Obama and Loretta Lynch are directly involved?

It will take all of New York liberal slimes to undo this major New York liberal slime...good luck with that...who took Hillary’s Senate Seat???...who wants to take over the U.S. Attorney General’s seat??? HILLARY!!!

We need to take out New York, save Trump Tower and rid the place of all crawling, rat, liberals before that place will smell better again...

Well, no. It does not fit the Constitutional definition. Without overtly advocating violence, it's not even legally sedition, unfortunately.

'Conspiracy to defraud the US government' by using government assets for partisan political purposes would be a start.

Are you telling Chuck et all to off themselves
? That is the only way hat they can cease lying. They are quintessential Liberal Leftists. As such their notions of reality make it impossible to discern what rational people know as facts and the real world. Reality is to them a mental construct and Truth is what they think should be which might be different tomorrow from what it is today.

” Pursuit of FBI informant’s identity comes close to crossing legal line”

There’s the first lie.

Congress has not only the legal authority, but the legal OBLIGATION to get to the bottom of this.

To include whomever supplied info to the FBI for their bogus FISA warrant. And just WHO paid them. And under what legal authority.

PDJT loves to bounce little Chuckie around like basketball.

They have advocated violence. The anti-Trumpers have done next to nothing to prevent violence at Trump events. What have the coup-members done to identify and arrest those who organize those riots, including Inauguration Day?

[ColdOne]

Of course they are directly involved.

[bert]

Shumer is over the line of traitor.

By forbidding the President to defend, Schumer outs himself as one of the conspirators to over throw the Trump government.

He must resign immediately as unfit to be a US Senator

[gaijin]

Age of Aquarius “Burn it all Down, baby..!” guys become FBI fanboys with yuge crush..?

Wow.

[Sacajaweau]

The wrong is having the spy there in the first place.

Stuck on stupid!!

[DarthVader]

Too late Schmucky !! We are on to it.

An FBI informant is not protected. In fact if he were brought to court or used in any trial, the informant would be unmasked by the constitution. But because the FBI seems to be interfering with an American election it seems hard to imagine that they have not already crossed lines with the constitution.

I think Trump should have the republican party sue the FBI and the CIA so this can be brought out in court. Its about time the courts get involved in this.

[jjotto]

Yep, I believe violence has been advocated by people on MSNBC, CNN, and some other outlets. No response from the SS, much less the DOJ.

Haven’t heard such advocacy from Comey, Brennan, and Clapper though, although note their personal communications have not been investigated.
