This paragraph is taken from paragraph 30 (Article 106—Spies) of MCM (2016 edition).

This offense is relocated to its current position in conjunction with the Military Justice Act of 2016’s reorganization of the punitive articles and is amended to remove the mandatory death penalty.

Ex post facto. Look into it.

Unless they start doing it after the implementation date their past actions don't fall under the new stuff.

Bookmark, for future reference, because nothing is going to happen to Hillary, or Huma. They could easily get Huma though, because it is very clear she disregarded basic security protocols regarding sensitive data on her mobile devices and computers. She hasn't been arrested yet and I doubt she will. Hillary? I don't think there is a chance in hell anything happens to Hillary. That's just wishful thinking. And to think Hill and Huma "are toast" based on this gibberish nonsense is laughable.

If they are toast, then it does not look good for the hamster.
