If I worked at the DOJ, I'd risk getting disbarred to leak Mueller's report.

But only if the report had something worthwhile in it.

It's not the disbarring, it's the jail time... RockRaven Mar 2019 #1

I'd make a copy, but wait a little while to see if Barr is forced to release it. Hoyt Mar 2019 #5

the income you could possibly make up with a book deal or as a cable news talking-head -- only if you didn't have to spend every penny you every earned on legal fees.

But money doesn't buy freedom... unless the corrupt prosecutors are on your side (a la Epstein/Acosta). And in this case, they would not be.

and *never* be identified for the next 2 years, or more? I do not think this is likely with current technologies and investigative tools (i.e all things digital and wireless). There are footprints and breadcrumbs EVERYWHERE. Enough to determine who amongst the relatively small number of people who possibly had access was the one who did it. This is not a document that thousands or tens of thousands of people have access to. In the short term that number is probably double digits, maybe later triple digits -- but well within the ability of a determined AG (and therefore DOJ/FBI) to figure out.

By the time they actually indicted you, got around to trying you in court, and then sentencing you (assuming you are even found guilty), we'll have a Democratic president and I would hope they would pardon the FUCK out of such a patriot.

Not to mention the speaking gigs, etc. Mostly though, it would be the right thing to do.
