From Raw Story:
CREW cites a July 31 interview Boehner gave on Fox News.
"There's been a ruling, over the last four or five months, that prohibits the ability of our intelligence services and our counterintelligence people from listening in to two terrorists in other parts of the world where the communication could come through the United States," Boehner said.
CREW argues that Boehner could face up to 10 years in prison for willfully communicating classified national defense information, "which would be used to the injury of the United States."
Although Boehner has previously criticized illegal leaks for political gain, the liberal watchdog group says his remarks to Cavuto appeared to be an effort to blame Democrats for failing to pass legislation modifying the FISA law. Congress finally adopted an update to the FISA law that eliminated the Court's objection by allowing warrantless surveillance of international communications routed through the United States.
Update: The White House has not said whether they will seek an investigation into Boner Boy. Here is the video:
