IG finds a dozen "intentional" violations by NSA of surveillance law. But were there any 1809 prosecutions? http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/27/us-usa-surveillance-watchdog-idUSBRE98Q0PW20130927 …
@bradheath Nope. There were 2 UCMJ punishments but it's fairly clear DOJ encourages people to resign before charging. http://www.emptywheel.net/2013/09/26/half-the-loveint-violations-committed-by-non-nsa-employees/ …

@emptywheel Can everybody escape criminal liability by resigning, or is that just a defense if you work in government? -
@bradheath But hey, if you're CIA, you usu don't even have to resign. Some of these prolly CIA, but they resigned. -
@emptywheel@bradheath When one goes finding a dozen, does one see a statement that says it is the only dozen? I don't see it? -
@ioerror Right. I also find it interesting half of these are non-NSA personnel, when so many fewer NSA personnel have access@bradheath -
@emptywheel@ioerror What's the moral of the 2003 case? If you've already had your retirement party, go ahead and snoop? -
@bradheath Well, person didn't 'fess up until years later. I think it's 'fess up in your retirement poly for get out of jail free@ioerror

@emptywheel Do you have the case names or any identifying info as to the 2 UCMJ punishments? I'm trying to verify these punishments. -
@Epyon17 Not at all. I only made that claim based on IG description--though either Clapper or Alexander confirmed 2 UCMJ punishments at SJC.
