CONFIRMED: Fox News Hack James Rosen Is A Political Operative, Not A Journalist

[SlimJimmy]

107. The warrant may be issued to a person or business, but the affidavit must show probable cause

that a crime was committed, and the warrant is a step in that criminal prosecution. In the case of Rosen, they contended that *he* had committed a crime and the search warrant was issued to obtain his records from a third party against *him*, not Kim. In the case of the AP, I haven't read the affidavit in support of the warrant, but I guarantee you that it contends that a crime was committed, lays out the basis for that belief, and posits that certain as yet to be named individuals in the AP committed those acts. You continue to confuse these issues. Why? I can only suspect two things, you are being obtuse on purpose, or you are woefully ignorant of the facts.

And one more thing. You keep repeating that it is a crime to obtain classified information for political/personal use. If you *actually* read the statute, you will see that it is illegal to RELEASE the classified information, and only criminal if the the classified information RECEIVED is defense related *and* will cause harm to the United States. The affidavit barley addresses the defense information, and doesn't show what harm, if any, would come to the United States if released. Please get it right, get it straight. I'm getting tired of explaining this to you.

Please, show me the section of the statute that makes it a crime to RECEIVE this information based on political/personal motivations. If you can't, then stop repeating this nonsense.
