Ah, got it. I'll have to look into it a little more. It does seem there's some uncertainty about the total.

That said, the number of Espionage Act prosecutions by this admin. is concerning and pernicious in itself.

Can you support that argument with evidence?

[thissideup]

Yes, the evidence would be every Espionage Act prosecution under the Obama administration. Which are more numerous than the total of every previous administration since 1917.

If you could justify how that's not worrisome that would be great.

If you read the link I posted upthread, I won't have to repeat my response to the claim that Obama is more zealous about the Espionage Act than his predecessors.
