Or....another horse and pony show in congress that wastes a lot of money and nothing happens.
"The [president], by virtue of his position, can't violate any non-disclosure/confidentiality rule," said Peter Zeidenberg, now in private practice in Washington. "One of the perks of being the head of the executive branch: Nothing he says is technically a leak. If he does it, it is authorized."
In fact, though, the president is effectively immune from breaking the law when it comes to a sealed indictment, according to a former prosecutor in the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section

However, Zeidenberg acknowledged "an argument could be made that a sealed matter can only be unsealed by a court."

Well, that's actually a good thing he did. His administration has done a lot of other legitimately bad things that I think could cause him to be impeached. As long as he's doing impeachable things, he might as well be doing positive ones.

Good God man.
I linked an article and a thread from 3 days ago.
But for the sake of argument, oBama could certainly be 'prosecuted', not probably not in 'court'.
The House would 'impeach', and the Senate would do the 'trial' and impose penalty.
Impeachment: The Unthinkable Process
Impeachment in the United States
Is Obama guilty of any impeachable offenses ?
Probably, but the Senate will never convict. Too many Democrats for now.
Why do ya think they are SOOOO concerned about the 2014 elections ?
If the House and Senate get a substantial majority of Republicans, look out

This thread is about the revelation by Mr. Obama today that there is a sealed indictment in the Benghazi terrorist attack, and the question is, did he violate Federal law by disclosing that.
