Anyone who would reveal the existence of a wiretap would violate federal law,” he said. “It is against federal law to disclose the existence of a wiretap, whether that wiretap is for criminal purposes or intelligence purposes.”

Can it be mentioned without penalty after someone else mentions it first ?
Like assuming the NYTimes article of 1/19/2017 is true ?

It would be epic justice if an editor and writer at the SLIMES went to prison for this.

Hillary tweeted it on October 31 2016
By this logic she broke yet another law by disclosing the wiretapping on Trump and did so a week before the election in attempt to damage her opponent

When I read the article, that very same statement jumped out at me:

"...“Anyone who would reveal the existence of a wiretap would violate federal law,” he said. “It is against federal law to disclose the existence of a wiretap, whether that wiretap is for criminal purposes or intelligence purposes...”

I am having trouble wrapping my brain around that.

Yes, Marc Levin Leif it all out on Fox, using the various media reports. It was very good. The surveillance was disclosed before Trump tweeted.
