| 25. I'm not disagreeing, but what laws did he break? |

Sure it was all political, and he is a lying son of a bitch. And he should have been impeached.
As a criminal matter, I don't think you can get around the fact that the president is the ultimate authority on what is classified. Think of all the leaks and lies by presidents. Were any of them prosecuted? There were plenty of high crimes and misdemeanors, but nothing that a court would touch. Yes, it is very sad.

Nope. Even the President has to follow certain laws before he can declassify something. |
