I thought someone told me it was a felony, although I don't recall where I heard that.

But a member of Congress, like any other citizen, is not bound by law to cover a crime. That was settled at Nuremburg.

That sounds correct, but it sure puts a Senator in a tough spot. Say a senator hears of activity by the President that the senator believes to be a crime, but for which there might be an Alberto Gonzales type of argument to the contrary. In addition, say that revealing the activity might jeopardize national security. What's a senator to do? In a case like that, I might be inclined to punish the President but give the senator a pass.
