Steve HermanThe CIA is up to something and Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who is the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, doesn’t like it but can’t tell us about it.
Jonas Trostle@newsguyusa doesn't he get immunity from the speech and debate clause?
Bodhipaksa@jonas_trostle @newsguyusa Presumably not for divulging classified information.
Asomiv@bodhipaksa @jonas_trostle @newsguyusa
He’s immune for anything he says on the floor, even if classified.
Gravel v US aka Pentagon Papers
@Asomiv @bodhipaksa @jonas_trostle @newsguyusa
He is legally immune, but presumably if he crosses the line (currently, even if he were a private citizen this would not be illegal) he risks consequences from fellow Senators, such as being removed from the Intelligence Committee. I hope that in his last few days in office when he decides to retire, he spills all the classified info that he's been hinting at for a while.
