FBI serves Grand Jury subpoena likely relating to WikiLeaks |
|
Notably, the Subopena explicitly indicates that the Grand Jury is investigating possible violations of the Espionage Act (18 U.S.C. 793),
a draconian 1917 law under which no non-government-employee has ever
been convicted for disclosing classified information. The most strident
anti-WikiLeaks politicians -- such as Dianne Feinstein and Newt Gingrich
-- have called for the prosecution of the whistle-blowing group under
this law, and it appears that the Obama DOJ is at least strongly
considering that possibility.
