Secret Pakistan Document Undermines Espionage Case Against Imran Khan

Pakistan's Former Prime Minister Imran Khan Interview

The former prime minister is charged with compromising Pakistan’s secret communications, but a document leaked to The Intercept says that didn’t happen.

After a long delay, Pakistan is expected to hold elections early next year, though Khan, who polls show would likely win a free vote, is unlikely to participate thanks to his compounding legal challenges. Prominent among these is the charge that Khan’s alleged mishandling of the cypher document risked compromising Pakistan’s encryption systems — notwithstanding the ISI’s own internal conclusion that no such risk existed.

While his state secrets trial continues, there is no public indication that the ISI has turned this exculpatory evidence over to Khan’s defense team.

Trump Committed Crimes When He Took ‘Top Secret’ Files: If Prosecution Is ‘Politicizing the Law’ — Then He’s Above It | The Smirking Chimp

Fox News in 2016 declared “America Cared about Hilary’s emails” in 2022 they are saying “Nobody Cared about Hilary or now Trump ”

The Republicans stand to benefit twice from their persecution of Hillary Clinton. They reaped the political benefits of a frivolous investigation in 2016. What’s more, that investigation was so obviously frivolous and malicious that it has discredited the whole idea of prosecuting high-ranking elected officials for misusing classified information. Trump might actually get away with stealing classified information because Republicans have made this kind of investigation synonymous with a political witch hunt. The laws against mishandling classified information have teeth for a reason. If laws governing the handling of classified information become a dead letter, the Republicans will have struck another grave blow against the rule of law.
