Will the DOJ indict and prosecute a sitting senator of the opposing party? It should be done if there is probable cause as laid out by the author. But will it? Is the growing lawlessness of the disloyal opposition that we've seen since the Clinton years going to continue. I pray not. Prosecutions need to roll (and I understand that criminal cases take time). This DOJ needs to act as if it has less than two and a half years to conclude the trials in these corruption and treason cases.

Actually a frightening story here where the culprits by their own acts and admissions are guilty but the government in power, Republicans, allow these acts against the US, well documented acts, to slide. I don’t know if it’s worse to give the Press a free pass or an elected official in the Senate or Congress. The DOJ did little the past 2 years if our eyes and ears can be trusted. If they need more staff then hire them. But once again the Buck comes up short at the DOJ where Justice prevails for only a few.

We're running out of time....

Strange that a lawless regime should be encouraged to suddenly get serious about prosecuting "lawbreakers". Oh, wait--it's selective prosecution. Now it all makes sense.

We need to force Congress to serve on the front lines and fight like Roman Senators used to do.

Yes do it’s a harmless enough pastime.

The Rule of law is over and men return.

In the meantime yes do fiddle round with the tax code and… the rule of law.

Here's hoping the acting AG ( Blanch) who is a strong advocate of DJT will start focusing on bringing down the "hammer" on the journalistic leakers, including the leftwing liberal politicians who feed on & support these acts of treason . With no consequences to these anti-American activities, it will continue.

Move to Russia or China to get what you want.

When you die, you don't know your dead. The pain & suffering are left to those you left behind. It's the same when your stupid! Take some TDS meds they might help.

💯‼️ Until serious consequences are experienced by these traitors the lawlessness will continue. It’s waaay past time to put a painful stop to it.

I agree: prosecute the leaker. A government official with clearance does not get to weaponize classified material because he hates Trump or wants to shape policy from the shadows. That is betrayal. The journalist is more difficult, and it should be. You need more than publication. You need proof of deliberate indifference to the truth, knowing use of a misleading document, or active participation in the unlawful scheme. That is a high bar—and it should be. But if the facts show a reporter knowingly pushed enemy propaganda wrapped in classified sourcing, then don’t hide behind “journalism.” That is information warfare.

I expect nothing else from the senator in question. He has shown by intent and deed that he will stop at nothing to destroy our president, including damaging the country in the process. Democratic voters reward this behavior through the ballot box, which is the saddest aspect of this whole sordid mess. It can be argued that Schiff is simply doing what his constituents ask him to do, that may be true, but to me he is still a waste of skin. Prosecute him.

Fine to prosecute the leaker, but hard pass on prosecuting the press for publication.

Editors and publishers are responsible for content control. Just like any product, consumers have the right to expect legitimacy. Honest errors, happen, but omitting photos led readers to the wrong conclusion. Did the reporter, editor, and publisher knowingly mislead readers by giving sketchy information? They all were involved along with the Senator. How about Memphis Publishing Co. v Nichols ? Gotta include relevant facts.

Editors and reporters who publish misleading content deserve to be exposed and lose their reputation and readers, not go to jail. Prosecuting reporters is the first step towards a Ministry of Truth.

Yep, you are a better lawyer than most lawyers I know, and that’s saying something. We are building a huge backlog of potential prosecutions, I am past ready for some perp walks.

Who would that be?

The sad part is nothing will happen to either the leaker or the "reporter". We are a nation of laws without an enforcer.
