Did Cheney break the law by telling Scooter about Plame |
|
If Scooter has security clearance? I don't know if he does have said clearance but if two people have security clearance have a conversation with one another, then they aren't breaking the law are they?

1. That's the way I understand it |
|
The person who breaks the law is the one who tells someone without clearance.

2. NO! Scooter has top clearance. The crime would be if Cheney |
|
told Scooter to go after her in the Press. I question if we would ever hear that!

3. Correct. Security matters may be discussed amongst those with |
|
proper clearance. If that weren't true, nothing could ever be said.

it is not a crime to tell someone else who has a security clearance.
KKKarl's defense is that Scooter never told him she was covert. But I believe it is customary to tell someone if the information is classified or high security........meaning that you don't pass that info to someone without a security clearance!! That is against the law.

8. What amazes me is no one is asking this question |
|
If Cheney and Shrub didn't know about this, why? Either way, neither of them not knowing what a "top aide" is doing doesn't seem kosher and of course, if they did know, then that's not kosher either.

10. I think Fitz said that Scooter was having the conversation about Plame & |
|
Wilson with numerous people in numerous departments. And as long as the name is not made public, but between people with "clearance" it is not a crime.
That's what i got.
Now if Cheney was part of a plan to out her name... and someone testified to that..that might be something.
But just discussing the names & origins of the Wilson leaks amongst themselves is not a crime.
