The Judge wrote, “The Director of Central Intelligence is free to disclose classified information about CIA sources and methods selectively, if he concludes that it is necessary to do so in order to protect those intelligence sources and methods, and no court can second guess his decision.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This ruling is meant to absolve Comey of any legal problems for leaking to his buddy...

My first thought also. Looks like the judge thinks it’s OK for CIA to deny Congress, too!! I wonder how the judge would feel if CIA denied her access to their records....

Basically, the judge gave a stamp of approval to domestic propaganda, to the CIA interfering in domestic politics, and to Operation Mockingbird.

Leaking top secret material is perfectly OK, so long as you can guarantee that the classified material will be printed on tomorrow’s front page.

This is a 14th Amendment issue: equal protection under the law.

I think most of us have said at some point that the CIA (government) permitted leaks to entrap or mislead.

The Judge wrote: “The Director of Central Intelligence is free to disclose classified information about CIA sources and methods selectively...”

Yes, the CIA Director can disclose pretty much whatever he wants. But the issue in the case was whether once he has disclosed something to a particular reporter, he can still refuse to disclose that exact same thing to someone making a FOIA request. The CIA and Judge are of the view that even though the information has already been disclosed to a reporter, the public is still not entitled to see it. Makes zero sense to me.

Well, we have all seen that the media is part of the wicked party of the government. The media is the official Ministry of Propaganda.

Well, the President should (and does) have powers in such matters, and far, far in excess of those of the CIA

Won’t help because Comey was NOT director of anything when he leaked those documents. He was a private citizen, in illegal possession of classified documents.
