Delaware use to flog prisoners in the prison courtyard for offenses whilst locked up.
We're not that serious about protecting our nation anymore.

Yep....when you read about the court holding this there was all sorts of ‘protections’ around the documents and evidence..all had to have security clearences even to view them....and that done in a special room.
This guy was passing China some pretty heafty stuff....about our National defense, and likely not only to China.

Every one so far seems to have forgotten Bill Clinton selling for campaign cash every military secret he could lay his hands on (including the miniaturized klystron switch to make H-bombs as a freebee) to China. Without Bill, China would be far behind the West in every military technology that they might be a threat to North Korea, Vietnam but no one else.

Very good point. The roots go deep and when the weed is pulled I have no doubt we'll find the Clintons tangled up in the mass.
