Peter Strzok: "What I Saw With Trump Is 'Deeply Concerning" | (Morning Joe).
I don't know about the legalities and oaths of confidentiality but for God's sake if the nation's at stake doesn't that overrule everything?!? I don't know what to think about this.....! I'd love DU'ers feedback.

Not to mention the gop would love it, pulling attention away from the real traitor

(8,083 posts)I don't think the GOP would love it because the information he has is on their great leader...but it seems like it's something he's obligated to keep secret.

Like all USG employees with security clearances, he signed a classified non-disclosure agreement, and violating it is a federal felony. Barr would certainly come after him, but Bidens AG may be willing to declassify the information in the public interest.

Good point...

(2,596 posts)there may not be a country to care about in a year. Same as the Woodward mess on Joy now. How could Woodward sit on the information he had. So yes, Strzok should give us this information and I do not understand how he and others have kept silent...including Kelly, Mathis, etc.
Upthevibe
(8,083 posts)We would think that would be the "right" thing to do....but, as others have mentioned, there's probably a lot of rules regarding disclosing classified information...

(2,596 posts)The Dumpster told Woodward about new nuclear weapons and has possibly started an arms race. There are ways of getting info our and protecting yourself. Duty to country. I did think of what you said, oath of office, but there are ways to comply and still protect the country, another oath taken.
