The MSM is guilty of misprision in their failure to report about John Podesta’s collusion with those pesky Ruskies.

The definition you cite applies to Misprison of felony.

The word ‘misprison’ can be used in a number of instances. Such as misprison of justice.

Misprison therefore, denotes a failure to perform official duties, among others.

FISA found fault with Comey
Obama’s toadie and FBI homey
They illegally spied
And then they all lied
Their misprision evident to me.

I LOVE that the FISA ruling was declassified in time to shut Comey down. Don’t mess with Trump when he’s got the goods on you. Hillary best shut her pie hole. Her deeds can be declassified, too. Betting she’s got truckloads to hide after her stint at State. Trump plays for keeps. I am loving it.

If people on our side are thinking Mueller will prosecute this, they are dreaming.

Mueller’s charge is to investigate Russian Interference in our 2016 Presidential Election, and ONLY THAT................

The Comey Treason would require ANOTHER special prosecutor....................

Hillary and Huma are guilty of multiple instances of misprision.

Once Hillary is jailed, and either dies or is executed, she is really going to misprision. /yeah its on purpose
