/The Justice Department’s Misbegotten AIPAC Prosecution'
(Clarice Feldman)

... Moreover, the antiquated Espionage Act...

Well I'm just all broken up that Clarice Feldman doesn't like OUR laws.

But since they upset her so much I suggest she tell her friends to Stop Spying On Us! Then they wouldn't be prosecuted under OUR "antiquated Espionage Act". Annnnnd, if I was a betting person, I'd bet a good percentage of AIPAC are Mossad agents and/or have contacts with Mossad. So they ain't exactly pure as the driven snow.

BTW, Clarice - that law isn't so "antiquated". The Espionage Act has bean revised and updated numerous times, so put a sock in it. And again, Stop Spying On Us dammit. We're your ONLY friend so knock it off!

The Espionage Act written in 1917, amended in 1918 and afrer WWII— is antiquated and I am not the first to state this. The question of course is not whether or not I like it but whether or not it covers the conduct here—and it seems clearly not to. Or should we abandon the notion of prosecuting and convicting people only when they actually like—you know—violate laws.

I believe this is the first prosecution under this section of the act. No one has ever accused anyone of spying on anyone. It was a sting, but the rationale was that one arm of the STINKING DISLOYAL BUSH ADMINISTRATION, the defense department was relaying information to another arm of the STINKING DISLOYAL BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

Sorry, but that's the sting they set up. My guess Obama will drop it because he wants to be able to do the same thing.

This wasn’t spying. This was a rescue operation.
