I think maybe he was referring to less formalized norms such as "don't fire the head of the FBI on a pretext to cover your rear end" or "don't spill the beans on intel, even if by doing so you don't break any laws you dummy".

yup, just saying this should be motivation for people to begin to restructure our government as a whole. Twice in sixteen years we denied democracy for the highest office, and now we're seeing just how hosed up the executive branch can get. Things need to change, and we need to stop looking to 200 year dead rapists for answers.

i recommend just waiting an hour or day or so and then reading the news. twitter is only really of value when there has not been time for someone to write more than a hundred and forty characters. things are a lot less annoying when you stick to reading full articles instead of trying to follow a hundred different journos all at once

yeah exactly

I stop checking twitter about 1-2 hours after major news breaks because it's just pundits stroking themselves instead of actual developments and I'd rather wait for longform stroking than quick jobs

but in the immediate aftermath of a major news dump? oh man is it juicy

Whether it is illegal or legal is a non sequitur

the standard is high crimes and misdemeanors. aka bad government, obstruction of justice, begin a loving Russian hack.

Is there any truth to what napalitano said though, that he would be required to notify the intel committee of the breach?
