Greg Sargent picked up my original assertion the other night that Rick might have violated federal laws by holding up a classified document to the camera on H&C: I wrote
"If that is the document that's classified, isn't little Ricky breaking about a gazillion different federal laws by exposing them? I've taken the precaution of blackening it a bit. Of course, I'm no attorney, but I believe this is the law."

Sargent: Turley told me this:

"If the document he had with him was classified, it was a violation of security protocol and classification rules to take such a document to an interview, let alone wave it around before a camera. Presumably he didn't have a transport card or a security officer transporting the document . Presumably the interview location is not considered an authorized location for such material."
