Seems to me the most likely charge, if any, would be perjury or making false statements to a fed.

"I highly doubt that any violation of the Intelligence Persons Act has been committed...." I doubt that too. (It's a very specific and difficult to meet threshold under that particular Act... which explains why there has only been ONE successful prosecution in all the years since it was enacted.) But, that wasn't what I was referring to. The fellow I mentioned who got all those years was convicted for leaking CLASSIFIED information. There are PLENTY of laws (& administrative regulations, for that matter... loyalty oaths, etc., etc.) in the area of leaking classified government information. Need not be the 'undercover intelligence agent act' under which prosecution is preferred.
