37. How? Stealing secrets, from where? And transferring to whom?

Is Huckabee a foreign agent?

What always bothered me, and I mentioned it to my letters to Clinton, asking for release, was that Pollard, Ames (a CIA counter intelligence officer) and Hansen (An FBI agent) all sentenced to life for spying. But while Aldrich and Ames spied for the Soviet Union, providing names of US agents some were executed, Pollard spied for an ally. More or less.

From Wikipedia

Dennis B. Ross said in 2004: "Pollard received a harsher sentence than others who committed comparable crimes". Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger stated that "[t]he Pollard matter was comparatively minor. It was made far bigger than its actual importance." Stephen Fain Williams, a Senior Circuit Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stated: "Jonathan Pollard's life sentence represents a fundamental miscarriage of justice". In December 2010, former U.S. assistant Secretary of Defense Lawrence Korb said: "In retrospect, we know that an injustice was done to Pollard ... the man is very sick and should be released before it is too late."[118] Some of the accusations against Pollard can be traced to CIA mole Aldrich Ames,[126] who allegedly blamed Pollard to clear himself of suspicion.[127] Rafi Eitan, Pollard's Israeli handler, stated that Pollard never exposed American agents in the USSR or elsewhere. Eitan said he believed Ames tried to blame Pollard to clear himself of suspicion.
