You can do whatever you like until they tell you to stop.

Sounds like you are abandoning your foolish idea that after thousands of other people have named Eric Ciaramella, it is somehow wrong to do so,

> Then you can't,

So far,  nobody has told me, or thousands of other people, to stop mentioning Eric Ciaramella's name.  Nor are they likely to do that

The law which "protects" "whistleblowers" likely doesn't even cover this guy, who didn't actually see anything; he was simply TOLD it, and the accuracy of that telling is highly suspect.  And, to boot, he isn't a lawyer, and is highly unlikely to have been able to interpret what he was told as being "legal" or "illegal",

I don't think it's even "leaked".  It was PUBLICIZED by some in the news media, after having been GIVEN the name by government employees.   It is called NEWS.  These things happen.  I seem to recall seeing that Shifty Schiff actually accidently spoke the name.  The cat, then, was out of the bag.

>There's a bunch of federal codes I'm not up on, but the above is the bottom line and that line only rises higher towards you neck, and a garrotting, if it involves national security. 

I guess that's the closest we can get you to admit that you are full of shit.   This case had little to do with "national security".  


>Disclaimer: I am not a Lawyer. DO NOT call me in the middle of the night for bail money.

After 10,000+ hours in a Federal prison law library, learning all sorts of Federal law,  I'm as close to being a lawyer as you will likely see, absent a bar-card.
