The IIPA is the only thing anybody is talking about. You have brought up
the Espionage Act, perjury, obstruction and conspiracy before. All of the
elements of a crime must be met for there to even be a crime - which is
what will probably send anything under the IIPA out the window. What
elements do you think have been met under the EA?

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not claiming that the EA will be used, but it
has in the past been used for plain, old fashioned leaks. See the Morison
case.

Perjury would be applicable if anyone lied under oath - I don't know that
anyone has. Obstruction may be in order if anyone stiffled the
investigation - however refusing to incriminate ones self is not
obstruction, nor would it necessarily be obstruction to fail to volunteer
information.

Again, this is speculation, but:

I have no inside information that there will be any charges brought. I am
just pointing out that the prosecutor is not limited to the IIPA.
