Immunity from prosecution would not prevent disciplinary action/punishment.

Wouldn't they be covered under "whistle blowers protection"?

Sorry for using out of context, but every administration leaves a time bomb for his successor because of our thirst for oil. Both sides have a skew and yet by any measure most agree things have worsened during this administration, to which Hillary Clinton played a huge role in. Such an incompetent you folks want to gamble with for your progeny's future?

Not necessarily. http://www.alternet.org/civil-libert...administration
From the article: The Obama administration has been carrying out an unprecedented crackdown on whistleblowers, particularly on those who have divulged information that relates to national security. The Espionage Act, enacted during the first World War to punish Americans who aided the enemy, had only been used three times in its history to try government officials accused of leaking classified information — until the Obama administration. Since 2009, the administration has used the act to prosecute six government officials.

Right there you are wrong already. All agents must sign non disclosure agreements before they can receive their security clearance. Say so right in the story. It also says that the NDA does not apply if they are called to testify.
Something you somehow neglected to mention.

As I explained above, the NDA does not apply if the agents are called to testify before Congress or in a case in court. What it does is prevent them from talking to the press or going out on speaking tours.

She is throwing our vets under the bus - says it not a big deal.
That in itself disqualified her not only to be president, but to live in this country.

I said FBI agents working on the Hillary email investigation had to sign a special non-disclosure agreement called a Case Briefing Acknowledgment form. Sources say such a form or procedure has never been used by the FBI previously.
Please demonstrate that what I said was wrong.
There are a lot of things I 'neglected to mention' about FBI hiring and training practices, and about rules and regulations regarding security. How does any of that make what I said wrong?

It does not matter what you said - when you are a democratic operative, you job is to deflect and redirect.

In response to an inquiry from Sen. Chuck Grassley, the FBI said
Quote:
This was not a unique circumstance; depending on the sensitivities in a given investigation, FBI employees may from time to time be asked to sign similar forms.
|
The FBI did not indicate when or if it has used the form in the past, or how often or why it did so. It also provided a copy of the form.
Quote:
UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
CASE BRIEFING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The purpose of this form is to maintain an official record of persons knowledgeable of a highly sensitive Federal Bureau of Investigation counterintelligence investigation.
I hereby acknowledge that I have received a briefing on the investigative matter(s) identified below. Disclosure of this FBI counterintelligence investigation to anyone is strictly prohibited without the prior concurrence of the Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division, Federal Bureau of Investigation. I also understand that, due to the nature and sensitivity of this investigation, compliance with these restrictions may be subject to verification by polygraph examination.
|
Great for employee morale. You signed an NDA when hired, but we don't trust you, so sign another one. And then we still might not trust you, so we will give you a polygraph if we want to.

I think she has dropped the pants suit for a tent suit. I believe I heard it was Channel or something designer name and worth 10k. Nice.

Hillary has out spent Trump, 15 to 1, and is in a dead heat nationally. And, she is down 7 points in one poll. She will set a new high on campaign spending, all to attack Trump, and to convince people that she is not a liar. She can't run on her record, all she has, is attack, attack, attack. If Trump can take the high ground, not likely, and let others attack her, and he stay on policy, he will destroy her in November.

Some people are so cynical. If Bubba and the A.G said that they were talking about their grandchildren on that plane, that's good enough for me.
Comey's press conference just didn't pass the smell test. No precedent for it, and it just sounded like a guy trying to cover his butt while taking one for the team.
Given the double secret probation NDA and the threats of polygraphs and other instruments of torture, I'd guess everyone will keep their heads down for a while, to be followed by anonymous leaks as to what went on.

I checked with MediaMatters and Snopes, and they say all your info is wrong.
