t r u t h o u t - Tony Norman | Why Isn't Bob Novak Going to Jail?:
"Novak not only knows the identity of the 'senior White House official' who leaked the information to Miller and Cooper, he willingly became a conduit for that information.
What we don't know is whether Novak revealed his source to prosecutors, or whether he is simply enjoying the fruits of years of toadying to the White House."
I've been slow on this issue, having the logic of "freedom of the press" on the right and the left nearly convince me that nothing could be done about Novac's role. That's bullshit--when a reporter, or anyone, actively takes a knowing role in spreading treasonous information (say, like helping terrorists) that messenger is absolutely responsible for delvering treasonous information. Period. This is not someone finding a lost memo, this is someone working effectively and nearly exclusively with certain persons in the White House to relay specific and targeted information. It is felonious sabotage and should be prosecuted appropriately.
Bob Novac should be criminally charged.
