Really? What law is that covered under? (genuinely interested, because I did not know this)

  I second this question. I know it seems like it would be against the law...but a lot of things that seem like they would be against the law actually aren't, so I'm interested in specifics.

    Employees of the NSA cannot in fact do things that are felonies under federal law and be immune from prosecution.

      While you're correct as a matter of legal theory, this doesn't happen in practice. Aside from Felt and Miller who were given small fines and then pardoned, can you name another precedent for prosecuting government employees for overreach in intelligence and security matters? Is there even a single example where a meaningful penalty was dispensed?
