If you're David Petraeus, obstruction of justice is 2 point enhancement, not 3 year prison sentence. No man is above law--just beyond it

@emptywheel A more current analogy might be S. Kim. He talks w/a reporter &/or confirms info->jail. GG/BG/LP possess docs->nothing.@korch2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@CUEwindsearch In short, there are laws. They apply to people who sign NDAs but have never been w/people who haven't.@korch1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@emptywheel So if the Feds knew I was in possession of stolen USG docs, my home wouldn't be raided/I wouldn't be arrested?@korch1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@CUEwindsearch If you were running a Tor server govt believed someone used to leak to WL, they would raid & charge you w/kiddie porn@korch1 reply 1 retweet 0 likes -

@emptywheel And if I was a journo? Is that the crux of the issue here: their journalist-status protects them?@korch1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@CUEwindsearch No. It's that you are (I'm assuming) not some who has been entrusted w/secrets under NDA.@korch2 replies 1 retweet 0 likes -

@emptywheel They (GG/BG/LP) have been entrusted w/secrets. Have they signed NDAs as well ? (your 1st reply to me)@korch1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@CUEwindsearch No. You sign NDAs when you work w/govt. Snowden did. That's why he's being prosecuted. @korch

@emptywheel So, it's not journo protection; no NDAs. What then protects them from not being raided &/or arrested for possession?@korch0 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
