2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary has been Branded: "...the ongoing FBI investigation..." [View all]leveymg
(36,418 posts)30. Along with the likely deathbed deposition of Tyler Drumheller, there is plenty to flip Sid.
As the person who received and forwarded to Hillary the TS-SAP information gathered by Tyler's CIA associates, he can be prosecuted under the felony provisions of Sec. 793 sections (c) and (e), and the associated conspiracy charge, 793(g). For her part in reading this obviously classified info and failing to report its unauthorized possession and transmission, Hillary Clinton may be prosecuted under the felony provision of 793(f)(2).
Note that Hillary may not declassify any information that originates with another agency.
Here are the above-referenced parts of the statute:
18 U.S. Code § 793 - Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information
