Well-connected lobbyists with massive federal governement influence have succeeded in having their espionage cases dropped.
Just because the information exchanges that are common among government officials happen frequently doesn't mean they should happen frequently. Common lawlessness calls for aggressive prosecution of crimes, particularly espionage.
What if the bankers committed fraud with collateralized debt securities and used their political connections to avoid prosecution? Oh right, that's also happening now.
WASHINGTON (AFP)--Federal prosecutors are dropping espionage charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists, court documents showed Friday.
The move ends a four-year case that critics charged was an attempt to criminalize information exchanges that are common among government officials, journalists and lobbyists.
