I note the stupid bastard lived to be 85 or thereabouts, and served time for corruption until being pardoned.

Wretched politics. There's a law and a Supreme Court - why any politician (in this case the Presidnet of USA) should be able to grant pardons is beyond me (thankfully it doesn't happen here), and how they do it and maintain a separation between the judiciary and the executive is another interesting question.

Man should've been tried for treason - releasing sensitive material of direct benefit to the enemy in time of war.
