Last week, when Sen. John Kerry called for Mr. Rove to be fired with Hillary standing by his side, she nodded silently. When reporters asked her what she thought of the alleged Rove outrage, she offered only, "I'm nodding."

Gutless bitch, keeping her head as low as her boobs, letting the other dopes stick their necks out.

It is not a leak or illegal when liberals help the enemy.... it is a "civil right".

Did the midget of the Oval Office miss any opportunity to weaken America?

Damming a leak; photo filcher found guilty. (Samuel Loring Morison)

«Read the Full Article, Sign up today»

Time Time; 10/28/1985

When Samuel Loring Morison, a ship analyst at the U.S. Naval Intelligence Support Center in Suitland, Md., noticed three photos of a Soviet aircraft carrier lying on a colleague's desk, he thought they might be of interest to Jane's Defense Weekly, a British magazine. Morison, a part-time editor of a sister publication, filched the photos, which had been taken by an American KH-11 satellite, clipped the "Secret" markings off the corners and mailed the pictures to London.

Such disclosures are often called leaks, but to a Government plagued by spy scandals, Morison's action ...



******


U.S. Supreme Court
MORISON v. U.S , 486 U.S. 1306 (1988)

486 U.S. 1306

Samuel Loring MORISON
v.
UNITED STATES.
No. A-896.

June 2, 1988.

Chief Justice REHNQUIST, Circuit Justice.

Samuel Loring Morison was convicted in the District Court of two counts each of espionage, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 793(d), (e), and theft of Government property, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 641. His conviction was affirmed on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, 844 F.2d 1057 (1988), and he now asks that he be allowed to remain free on bond pending the consideration of his yet-to-be- filed petition for writ of certiorari. The statutory standard for determining whether a convicted defendant is entitled to be released pending a certiorari petition is clearly set out in 18 U.S.C. 3143(b)( 1982 ed., Supp. IV), and the only real issue in this application is whether Morison's appeal "raises a substantial question of law or fact likely to result in reversal, an order for a new trial, or a sentence that does not include a term of imprisonment." I agree with the courts below, however, that regardless of whether Morison has raised a "substantial question" with respect to the propriety of his conviction under the Espionage Act, he has not done so with respect to his conviction for theft of Government property under 641. Because Morison has not shown that his appeal is "likely to result in reversal" with respect to all the counts for which imprisonment was imposed, see United [486 U.S. 1306 , 1307] States v. Bayko, 774 F.2d 516, 522 (CA1 1985), his application is denied.

MORISON, SAMUEL LORING,

a civilian analyst with the Office of Naval Intelligence, was arrested 1 October 1984 for supplying Jane's Publications with classified photography showing a Soviet nuclear powered carrier under construction. The photographs were subsequently published in Jane's Defence Weekly (July 1984). Morison, described as a heavy spender and unhappy with his Navy Department job, had been employed by Jane's as a part-time contributor. A search of his apartment turned up two portions of Navy documents marked Secret. On 17 October 1985, after a seven-day trial, Morison became the first individual convicted under the 1917 Espionage Code for unauthorized disclosure to the press. Also convicted of theft of government property, Morison was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment on 4 December 1985. The decision was appealed, and in April 1988 the conviction was upheld by the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals. In October 1988 the Supreme Court declined to hear the case, thus endorsing the use of the espionage code for prosecuting cases of unauthorized disclosure.

Washington Post, 29 Oct 1984, “Unlikely Espionage Suspect”
Washington Post, 18 Oct 1985, “Morison Guilty of Spying, Stealing Documents”
New York Times, 8 Oct 1984, “Disclosing Secrets to the Press...”
