the party that cheered WikiLeaks when they leaked in their favor - fuck their hypocrisyIs there an exception in the law for current or former U.S. officials requesting anonymity? Gowdy asked Comey during testimony about Russia's interference in the U.S. election. Gowdy was asking about U.S. statute that forbids the leaking of classified material.
The FBI director said there was not an exception for U.S. officials.
Is there an exception in the law for reporters who want to break a story? asked Gowdy.
Comey struggled to answer the question, saying it was something that had never been prosecuted in my lifetime.

(15,805 posts)The truth will not be stopped. We have already reached the tipping point and taking a big leap off the high-board as multiple investigations proceed. Comey said the FBI's criminal investigation has been in progress since last July, they're 6 months in, so its possible that a final conclusion could come at any time. Then, the shouts of "Lock him up!" will be the only thing Trump hears until the gavel brings order in the court.
