Should Peter Strzok say what he knows?

Peter Strzok: "What I Saw With Trump Is 'Deeply Concerning" | (Morning Joe).

I don't know about the legalities and oaths of confidentiality but for God's sake if the nation's at stake doesn't that overrule everything?!? I don't know what to think about this.....! I'd love DU'ers feedback.

[msongs]

1. one would think a govt employee couldn't be bound by a non disclosure or loyaltu oath

to a government employee who is a superior

[tblue37]

17. It's illegal to reveal classified information. His FBI oath is not the same as an NDA. nt

[Upthevibe]

20. tblue37....

I'm thinking that's the case.

[Upthevibe]

19. msongs....

That's what I mean....I don't know what the rules are.....

[Karadeniz]

2. He should spill his guts out!

[Upthevibe]

21. Karadeniz....

That's what I'd like but I guess he can't....

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. I believe him. He knows a traitor when he sees one.

And he has the evidence to do Trump in.

[Upthevibe]

23. OAITW r.2.0...

I ABSOLUTELY believe him too....but I guess he can't reveal a lot of what he know....

[vapor2]

4. i think he should reveal what he knows especially since he no longer works for the FBI

[2naSalit]

15. Some oath obligations,

depending on the position, are for life. You don't violate them for the sake of staying out of prison.

[Upthevibe]

25. 2naSalit....

That's what I thought was probably the situation....

[Upthevibe]

24. vapor2....

I wish he could.....

[Thekaspervote]

5. Oh.. I don't think so! He could very well go to person forever. National security is ntl security.

It could be considered high crimes and treason

Not to mention the gop would love it, pulling attention away from the real traitor

[Upthevibe]

26. TheKaspervote....

I don't think the GOP would love it because the information he has is on their great leader...but it seems like it's something he's obligated to keep secret.

[rzemanfl]

6. The thought of shackles and a body cavity search tends to zip lips.

He needs to go to an Embassy. Biden and Harris need to guarantee him a pardon.

[Upthevibe]

18. Well....That's an idea....but we need him

now more than ever

[rzemanfl]

37. So he goes to the Canadian, German or French Embassy, they put him up. He tells all,

misses Thanksgiving and Christmas at home, and can leave on the 21st of January.

[bluestarone]

7. my vote is YES he should

THEN Biden should PARDON him AND give him the Congressional medal of Honor!!!

[Upthevibe]

27. bluestarone....

I wish!

[rso]

8. Strzok

Like all USG employees with security clearances, he signed a classified non-disclosure agreement, and violating it is a federal felony. Barr would certainly come after him, but Biden’s AG may be willing to declassify the information in the public interest.

[2naSalit]

16. Some obligations of nondisclosure

are also for life. I have taken such an oath in the past, I can never discuss the information, ever.

[Upthevibe]

28. Strozok....

Good point...

[c-rational]

9. Yes, especially if it is as critical as he says. If Strzok does not give us the relevant info

there may not be a country to care about in a year. Same as the Woodward mess on Joy now. How could Woodward sit on the information he had. So yes, Strzok should give us this information and I do not understand how he and others have kept silent...including Kelly, Mathis, etc.

[Upthevibe]

30. c-rational...

We would think that would be the "right" thing to do....but, as others have mentioned, there's probably a lot of rules regarding disclosing classified information...

[c-rational]

36. Appreciate your thoughts Upthevibe, but why are Dems the only ones to play by the rules.

The Dumpster told Woodward about new nuclear weapons and has possibly started an arms race. There are ways of getting info our and protecting yourself. Duty to country. I did think of what you said, oath of office, but there are ways to comply and still protect the country, another oath taken.

[Upthevibe]

38. c-rational....

Exactly! I mean if the effing' country is at stake.....!

[roamer65]

10. YES.

[marble falls]

11. Spit it out.

[demtenjeep]

12. yes he should

fuck protecting #fatdonnie

[Upthevibe]

31. demtenjeep....

I KNOW he wants to but it seems that he's legally not allowed to..

[CanonRay]

13. I wish everyone would just tell what they know.

We need a Truth and Reconciliation committee

[Zoonart]

14. Me too. We need some patriots right fudging now.

[Upthevibe]

32. CanonRay...

I know - right!

[CanonRay]

34. hi!

[lanlady]

22. No. He'd go to jail

A national security NDA is for life. It doesn't expire when you leave government.

[OAITW r.2.0]

29. But you know who is telling the truth, nt

[Upthevibe]

33. lanlady....

That was exactly what I thought would happen....

[Upthevibe]

35. Well that's interesting.....

I just turned on Rachel and he's going to be on her show tomorrow night.....
