moonshot, nice to have a legal opinion from the Legal Eagles of Crypto. Your legal opinion is as good as your counter-intelligence. Amateur ranking, at very best. You are obviously a compartmentalized bit-player on a strictly need-to-know basis. The Joint Chiefs run the entire G-turd show (top to bottom), contrary to what you learn in Law School. And when these simple words are spoken, "this is a military matter" - all the other G-turds disperse quickly and quietly. I guess you don't really know who you're chatting with. Be a good little bit-player. Play your insignificant entry-level role. And be a good boy.
Smart thinking

keep working on your defense -
