"Your assuming that she was covert. All signs show that she was not. Seems she lost that status some time ago."

I'm assuming that if there's a grand jury investigating the disclosure of an agent's name, then at one time she was an operative. If she was a covert operative, her status at the time her identity was revealed is immaterial. Our enemies could use this information to damage our human intelligence network by figuring out who had past dealings with her, even if it was years ago. As I mentioned earlier, it's not going to help our efforts to recruit foreign agents if those people think they might later be exposed, even indirectly, as may be the case here. Now, if she's been bragging about past exploits to her buddies then her clearance should be revoked and she should be kicked to the curb. However, Washington gossip is not nearly as reliable or as much of an attention getter as a high level source leaking information to the press. It's shameful really.

You need to understand how the law is written. If she was covert....but it was a certain number of years back...then it does not matter if she was disclosed. NO LAW BROKEN.

Not to mention...that SHE told everybody what she did.
