Well it seems we have several highly qualified U.S. Intelligence experts on the board, and they have generously shared their expert and enlightening advice.
First off is BrianH who points out that if Bush did indeed cover up that Saudi Arabia was behind and/or involved in the 9-11 Attacks, making him a traitor, then obviously it is Sen. Bob Graham who should go to prison for treason.
..if Graham is aware of content in those pages that explicitly indicates that al Bayoumi and al Thumairy aided 9/11 terrorists and does not reveal it, he is technically guilty of
Misprision of treason. Granted, since these documents are classified, revealing this could also subject him to prosecution.
So basically he points out that if Bush is a traitor Graham goes to prison for not revealing that. He also goes to prison if he does reveal it. Only an expert could point that out. As the link he provides states in full.......
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

Clearly Graham should have notified Bush, that Bush was a traitor. Having press conferences to urge the current President to release these pages and filing sworn court documents is obviously a ploy by the crafty former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee to cover all that up. As Jref U.S. Intelligence expert, and German citizen Oystein agrees.....
Like BrianH pointed out: It may well be against the law to NOT reveal the full story.
So Graham not revealing classified information should land him in prison and the jref Intelligence expert also agrees that he could face prison by releasing the info as well, but should anyway, because as everyone knows, politicians don't go to jail........
You say that's illegal? Just wait and see: It's not exactly easy to disappear Congressmen and shut them up as political prisoners.
This law against revealing classified information is news to fellow Jref Intelligence expert DGM, after all, when has it ever been against the Law to reveal classified information?
What law exactly is this?
LOL!!
In order to expose his expertise on law DGM then says the following....
I bet you don't even understand why back it 2001, the CIA giving information to the FBI could be breaking the law (and likely inadmissible in their case).
DGM is an expert. He must be, he has almost 19,000 posts on jref, I'd say that's pretty good credentials. So why pay any attention to Barbara A. Grewe senior counsel to the 9-11 Commission who writes reports like this........
Legal Barriers to Information Sharing:
The Erection of a Wall Between Intelligence and Law Enforcement Investigations
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States
Staff Monograph
Barbara A. Grewe
Senior Counsel for Special Projects
http://www.fas.org/irp/eprint/wall.pdf
What was the conclusion of this report?.......
Conclusion:
"It is clear therefore, that the information sharing failures in the summer of 2001 were not the result of legal barriers but of the 'failure of individuals to understand that the barriers did not apply to the facts at hand. Simply put, there was no legal reason why the information could not have been shared."

compare with JREF Expert DGM...

Since I like you guys I could do you a favor. I could give Graham your expert advice if you like. Lets see what was it again?...
He and Rep Jones could grab those 28 pages and take pictures of it, which should be a breeze.....
Graham and Jones should simply take photos of the 28 pages and publish them.
I could tell him to load them on his Instagram page, and threaten him with prison if he doesn't.
Like BrianH pointed out: It may well be against the law to NOT reveal the full story.
Or should I try and convince him there isn't a law against posting classified information?
What law exactly is this?
I prefer the prison threat but it's up to you guys. You're the experts. You must be.
Otherwise to give advice on Intelligence matters to a two term Governor of Florida who served 18 years in the Senate, and former Head of the Senate Intelligence committee, and co chairman of the
Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities before and after the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, and author of the Book
Intelligence Matters, ....to be giving him advice on intelligence matters would make you look rather buffoonish wouldn't it?
