> since he asked and was informed by the State Department that it was.
But what did Griffith see when he asked for permission from the State department, though? Did he know violating sanctions was criminal, or something potentially that'd be an infraction? Couldn't it be a civil penalty?
Is there an official form for what asking to visit a country under embargo (e.g. North Korea or Iran) looks like?
Is there a template/example for what a denial to visit an embargoed country looks like?
For instance if there's something involving classified information, I'm to understand there is SF-312 (https://fas.org/sgp/isoo/new_sf312.pdf). It's all about explaining who / what / where / why and that there are criminal penalties for mishandling info / leaking / etc.
So, do we know how much Griffith knew of the implications of what he was doing?
