    The FBI arrested a leaker who leaked top secret intelligence from the NSA.

    The info she leaked is about Russian attempts to hack our election counting computers in 2016.

    Judge Napolitano, says this leaker may have done something illegal, but her illegal act was one of PATRIOTISM!!!

    If the Russians tried to hack our election system so as to actually influence the voting outcome, we The People have a RIGHT to know about it.

    Trump should pardon this brave soul.

    There's a legal channel for whistleblowers, and I speak as someone who liked the unveiling of the NSA. But done properly, it can protect national security secrets. Done improperly, and it can jeopardize our security assets.

    We needed Deep Throat to uncover Nixon, and we need more transparency in general but people who blatantly disregard classified information should not be given a pardon.

    there is no reason for the NSA to keep this info from the American public.

    we have a RIGHT to know these things.

    I agree, not sure why they would keep this from us, but if she did not follow the law, she will be charged, but the sentence should definitely fit the crime, not 10 years in prision

    6 months and strip of clearance/all government jobs? That sounds fair?

    I agree that, in general, Uncle keeps too much stuff classified. But that doesn't excuse leaking it to the press just because you feel like it. She is, and she should be, going to prison.

    As far as us needing to know that Russia attempted to hack the election, here's a news flash. No ****. I don't need to be told that. So did China, Japan, Australia, Germany, and practically every other country on the planet. In fact, they're all trying to hack us right now. I don't need leaked intelligence to know that. BTW, we're doing the same thing to all of them.

    No, 10 years. Leaking national security secrets has to stop.

    From the news I'm hearing today is that she has a flash drive that has "documents",not just the one---I say release what is on the flash drive & let us know the whole truth--- & yes, she is a true Patriot---
    But, this is what I have been saying since election day & I still believe they actually went in & changed the numbers!!
    But ,what gets my goat is that I don't see where this is "Highly Classified material",I believe that it should have been the duty of the CIA or whoever to work with the data managers to ensure this issue wouldn't effect the voter tally---,because as the story says,they can't be sure the system wasn't breached---( I will always believe they did change the numbers) could have saved us all a lot of grief & the right person would have been sworn in as POTUS-- That would be HILLARY--

    Grow up.

    Every nation tries to hack every other nation. You want to know who tries to hack US industry, govt, infrastructure, elections - China, Russia, Israel, Germany, UK, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and more. And the USA does it to them.

    Has nothing at all to do with Trump. You are just more fake news.

    Deep Throat ended up being the Deputy Director of the FBI, Mark Felt

    But Deep Throat's agenda wasn't so much political but revenge against President Nixon for not appointing Mark Felt as J. Edgar Hoover's replacement as Director of the FBI.

    The agenda was to take down a sitting President in collusion with the radical left "New Left." Yes, the same "New Left" who is the Democrat Party establishment of today, a corrupt third world, banana republic, political party.

    Why do you think everyone who disagrees with you is a drone of Fox News? Conservatives are not like "progressives", conservatives actually think for themselves and don't blindly follow.

    I don't watch Fox News, I stopped completely last year when it was clear that Fox was quickly becoming part of the proggie media establishment.

    To answer your question, yes Fox publishes fake news, just like you repost fake news.

    From what I heard, I don't think patriotism had anything to do with her actions. She wanted to bring down Trump. I can't blame her for that, but her methods were wrong.Besides, he's self-imploding anyway.

    The story is not "true" or "false". It's an opinion expressed by a single individual. I like Judge Nap, think he should be on the Supreme Court, but I disagree with him on this one.

    The NSA memo was classified, and should not have been released. That said, it was really "no, duh". I don't need an NSA memo to know that Russia and the rest of the world are constantly trying to hack us.

    trying to hack and therefore influence the outcome of vote counts on Election Day, is an act of war.
