he clearest of all the laws concerning U.S. intelligence is Section 798, 18 U.S. Code—widely known in the Intelligence Community as “the Comint Statute,” or “the 10 and 10.” Unlike other laws, this is a “simple liability” law. Motivation, context, identity, matter not at all. You violate it, you are guilty and are punished accordingly. Here it is: (a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, . . . any classified information— (1) concerning the nature, preparation, or use of any code, cipher, or cryptographic system of the United States or any foreign government; or (2) concerning the design, construction, use, maintenance, or repair of any device, apparatus, or appliance used or prepared or planned for use by the United States …or (3) concerning the communication intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government; or (4) obtained by the processes of communication intelligence . . . Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. On December 9 and 10, 2016, the New York Times and the Washington Post independently reported that anonymous senior intelligence officials had told them that, based on intercepted communications, the intelligence agencies agreed that Russia had hacked the Democratic National Committee to help Donald Trump win the election. Their evidence was the fact of their access to U.S communications intelligence. A flood of subsequent stories also cited allegations by “senior intelligence officials” that “intercepted communications” and “intercepted calls” showed that “members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election.” Incontrovertibly, the officials who gave these stories to the Times and Post violated the Comint Statute, and are subject to the “10 and 10” for each count. There is no clearer instance of what the governing law is, of how it was violated, and of the punishment that this incurs. Consequently, there is no clearer indictment of our legal system than the fact that no one has been prosecuted for these violations, much less punished. Nor is there any doubt as to who at least two of these “senior intelligence officials” are: Former CIA director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Beginning in January 2017, Brennan and Clapper made essentially the same statements on national television. The only possible excuse—that their allegations were lies—is irrelevant because the essence of the violation is the revelation that U.S intelligence was monitoring the communications of the Russians in America, and those of the Trump campaign as well. This is true, and that revelation is a textbook violation of the Comint Statute. The reasons no prosecutions have followed should be plain enough. The offenders are big people, in the permanent government and in the Democratic Party. They have a great many friends in the U.S Justice Department. From the top down, the Trump Administration has been filled by much smaller people. Loud words aside, the president has kowtowed to the intelligence agencies in every way imaginable. No prominent Republican has chosen to challenge the de facto privileged relationship between Democrats in the intelligence agencies and the media. And so, Brennan and Clapper continue as living proof that the United States has a dual system of justice. The example of their impunity speaks louder than any speech, and reassures their leftist successors in the intelligence agencies that their channel to the Times and Post is as safe as ever. Politics is not responsible for the non-application of Section 798 to Brendan and Clapper. It is difficult to imagine that the public would not approve massively the straightforward application to prominent men of a law that is so unambiguous, which is the foundation of arguably the main part of U.S intelligence, and which has been applied countless times to ordinary people. Rather, the absence of real politics—of real competition between opposing sides in American life—is the culprit. What we see is that those in the upper echelons of American life, whether they call themselves Republicans or Democrats, have greater loyalty to the ruling class to which they belong than to any law or institution. The refusal to apply Section 798 to Brennan and Clapper —the fact that they are free men —is simply the most obvious manifestation of the fact that we have a ruling class, that it is coherent, and that it has yet to be challenged in any serious way.
Poster Comment: Unless the real government criminals begin serving time America is effectively dead. All the talk, and there is more talk from Hannity and Trump and Sundance and all the others, than we need, does nothing. Now is time for indictments. All the evidence has been out for years. Either put up or shut up. I am tired of the talk. It all leads to Obama, Jarrett and the imbecilic Biden..

...Now is time for indictments. All the evidence has been out for years. Either put up or shut up. Bravo. In a nutshell. We know the truth, don't we? There will be no "putting up." This prospect of justice-unserved and corruption gone un-punished is heart-breaking for of all of us to see. We know exactly what it means: There will be no official hard "BREAKING NEWS!" announcement from CNN Or FNC, or headline at WaPo or New York Times. The "America" we knew and love, bled and died for really IS dead. So is the Law of the Land and with it, the US Constitution. (The Left, Globalists and Pagan power-cabals applaud.) As you also note, "ALL the evidence has been out for years." Yes, we've sat patiently, watching in horror as the guilty, murderous, treasonous, and arrogant simply walk away laughing, unscathed, immune from the law, from justice. The PTB and it's Luciferian confederation of various Pagans have achieved their goal. All that's left for the PTB to do is quash and criminalize dissent and truth (especially of Christians), while labeling all who challenge them "k00ks, racists, homophobes, and Conspiracy Theorists".

Now run by idiots.
Unless the real government criminals begin serving time America is effectively dead.
