Are you suggesting there are no consequences for government employees who willfully steal and/or leak confidential data?
The Espionage Act of 1917, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and Economic Espionage Act, among others, beg to differ.
- gtirloni 1y agowith this administration, nobody is suggesting that at all. there is no doubt there are no consequences if you're taking orders directly from the supreme leader or his immediate staff. that's a certainty.
- dinkumthinkum 1y agoWait, which administration are you talking about?
- saghm 1y agoThe one with a convicted criminal at the head of it who's been having a ball abusing his office because of an "immunity" that the Supreme Court invented specifically for him.
- drivingmenuts 1y agoProsecuting crimes under those acts requires an AG who's qualified and isn't kowtowing to a President more than willing to pardon traitors and a judiciary that isn't blindly following a conservative agenda. We are fucked without even the benefit of lube.

Depends on who your friends in government are. > The Espionage Act of 1917, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and Economic Espionage Act, among others, beg to differ. Assaulting police officers and trying to overthrow the government is also illegal. People have been convicted of it. And yet if you know the right people you won't suffer any consequences: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack_defendants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_of_January_6_United_Sta...
