This story really is frightening..I have only skimmed the surface of all that is out there..but this "matter of concience" is pure hokun..She did not resign and disclose..she got caught and was fired.
I have never thought she would be prosecuted..Color me cynical.
I don't think anything will come of it either, MEG33. If the former National Security Director can steal document from the National Archives, take them home and destroy them and get a slap on the wrist, then no one in government (who is a Democrat) will ever pay for anything in my lifetime.
only leaked to the news outlets
indicates that there have been leaks to who; Congresscritters not cleared to receive the info, former co-workers, and then there is all that paperwork the military has found in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And there was a pretty nasty character who said once upon a time something to the effect that We will destroy you without ever firing a shot.
I don't think it is enough to take a look at political affiliations over the past few years. We need to look at universities attended, overseas travels while in school, political activities while in college. That type stuff. These people would not have been wall flowers in those days. Something is bound to turn up.
I am having a hard time leaving my tinfoil hat on the shelf.
