House bars Obama from sharing secrets with Russia

The U.S. house of Representatives passed the fiscal year 2013 Defense spending bill the other night.
The bill now goes to the Senate for "consideration".

Contained in that legislation is an amendment that would prohibit Obama and the Administration from making any "secret deals" with Russia.

I guess that "Open Mic" moment a few months ago woke up a few people !!

There has been a plague of security "Leaks" recently that indicate possible questionable activities by unelected appointed "officials" at high levels of government.

The Fiscal 2013 Defense spending bill that passed the House 326 to 90 with bipartisan support Thursday evening included an amendment that would prohibit President Barack Obama from making good on a deal with Russia that he appeared to hint at earlier this year.

Introduced by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), the amendment bars the administration from sharing classified missile defense information with Russia.

In late March, an inadvertent hot-mic moment caught Obama asking Russian president Dmitri Medvedev for “space” until after the election, saying he would then have more “flexibility” to address issues such as missile defense with the Russians.

Medvedev said he would transmit the president’s request to Vladimir Putin, who assumed the Russian presidency in May......{read all the details}



BUT
Obama has threatened to veto the bill because it does not conform to spending levels set under the Budget Control Act. The Senate is unlikely to address the legislation until after the election as Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has said he will block any spending bill brought up before then.


Maybe Obama has a different reason for a "veto" eh ?

Hmmm.

We already have an old law in place to prevent the sharing of secrets I thought. I thought it to be the treason law. Hmmm. Guess not.
