I have friends that work in the consumer electronics market. If you are caught talking about your project in the open (company elevator, cafeteria, etc) you are instantly fired, no exceptions. It is a condition of employment.

This JV administration cannot be trusted on national security. spit
“is it amateur hour or is it treasonous?”
Treasonous, indeed.
As far as I’m concerned, the GOP is just as guilty as 0bama & his Communist/Marxist/Muslim-loving administration for not forcing him out of office.
Is there not one man or woman in Congress willing to call for his impeachment & arrest?
For WWII some sensitive material was locked away for 50 years.
Now we have an administration that gives our enemies truthful advance notification of strategy, but lies to our citizens.
“Are we powerless?”
That is the 60 billion dollar question right now.
We are the ones who decide it.
Will we be so wrapped up in reality shows that we ignore one of the most pressing questions in our own reality?
Do you know if the claim that money changed hands in the Bergdahl swap was ever proven? That would be critical to such a lawsuit.
