It will be real interesting to see if judges start granting defense requests for a specific intent jury instruction instead of a gross negligence instruction. That’s what Comey did - rewrite the law.

I wonder if someone could pull a chevron defense. This is a defense that an agency responsible for enforcing a statute gets to pick the interpretation of that statute provided it is reasonable and the courts have to abide by it. As the FBI is the agency responsible for enforcing the protected information statutes and they just announced their interpretation of it for everyone to hear, the courts must abide by it.
