#1 It's should be interesting when the other party takes power and discovers the extent of selling out the US and placement of marxists and communists in key positions in the government. It ought to be a prosecutors happy hunting ground, if the Republican leadership have any balls.

#2 The new standard would require the attorney general and a panel of government lawyers to approve such a claim "only when genuine and significant harm to national defense or foreign relations is at stake."

Glad they have no need for 'experts' in military security and operations, clandestine operations, sigint or slews of other areas of national defense. The legal caste as the ruling caste. The process becomes the end, no longer just the means. Who needs the 'consent' of the governed when they're in charge.
