You clearly do not comprehend the fact that the espionage act was written before the classification system was even developed. The only issue is whether or not the dissemination of information may be used for the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation. Whether or not the document as a "C" or an "S", or a "TS" or a "TS(CSI)" or a "TS(CNWDI)" stamped on it - or whether it used to have any of those markings on it and now they have been removed - is irrelevantBeekeeper » 15 Jan 2023, 9:05 am » wrote: ↑ You are so wrong on so many fronts here.
The ESPIONAGE ACT CANNOT COME INTO PLAY WITH DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION since by the very nature of DECLASSIFYING IT, it is NO LONGER A TOP SECRET DOCUMENT of which WOULD be unavailable for public inspection, SFB!!!
And ANY PRESIDENT can declassify AT WILL and without having to give ANY REASON as to why he/she did so, SFB!!
Simply stated, the clown can "declassify" the list of sleeper agents if he wants, but if he disseminates them or allows them to be disseminated and that then causes injury to the US or advantage to a foreign nation (not even an enemy, mind you), he is a spy.
