(3,251 posts)I said you cited the wrong US Code and you haven't even addressed it. I outlined the limited circumstances in my reply, but apparently you missed that as well. Please, please ... actually read what I write and respond to it. That's how a message board works. It's getting frustrating to answer you just to have you come back with the same stuff each time.
As to prosecuting Rosen ... oh *yes* they were trying to prosecute him. He is named as a co-conspirator in the affidavit. That means the government thinks he committed a CRIME. The fact that they *haven't* prosecuted him shows just how weak their case is. And trust me, it's *very* weak.
So, to summarize. Please answer my question from the previous reply. What US Code applies here? The one you cited is wrong as it only applies to cryptographic and cipher equipment.
Please re-read my previous reply to see why his political/personal motivations are *not* a crime.
Please read the *actual* affidavit in support of the search warrant. It is very enlightening and will help you with the US Code question.
