Session say, “Understand this, if you improperly disclose classified information, we will find you, we will investigate you, and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, and you will not be happy with the result.”

No names disclosed yet. Could it be Huey, Dewey, and Louie, along with McScrooge?

"If they are charged their names should public."

Exactly. So I'm wondering why the info hasn't been disclosed.

Second thought...it says they divulged info to foreign intelligence officers. Maybe their names aren’t being reported to protect those foreign officers? Would that be standard practice?

As to Hillary, remember that for most federal crimes there is 5 year statute of limitations. She is probably free and clear for anything before August 2012

"concealing contacts with foreign intelligence officers"

Americans leaking to foreign spies and hiding such contact? Let's see, Awan, Huma, Hillary, Anthony Weiner?

One perp is most likely that low level NSA staffer that was busted a couple months ago. Mostly Sessions was gum flapping today. Nothing of substance was announced.

Yeah, nobodies. Sessions didn’t scare anybody straight today with his beltway diarrhea of the mouth.
