Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in Politifact Regarding Comey Memos Leak

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in a Politifact article entitled: “Donald Trump: Comey’s Leak of Memo ‘Totally Illegal?’” Prof. Kitrosser explains that there is no basis for liability under the Espionage Act for leaking information that is not closely held information about national security. She was quoted as saying, among other things, that “It absolutely is legal for James Comey to share his own private reflections that do not consist of closely held national security secrets with the press, whether by passing on the information himself or through a friend.”
