Delaware use to flog prisoners in the prison courtyard for offenses whilst locked up.

Yep....when you read about the court holding this there was all sorts of ‘protections’ around the documents and evidence..all had to have security clearences even to view them....and that done in a special room.

This guy was passing China some pretty heafty stuff....about our National defense, and likely not only to China.

Every one so far seems to have forgotten Bill Clinton selling for campaign cash every military secret he could lay his hands on (including the miniaturized klystron switch to make H-bombs as a freebee) to China.
