I’m no lawyer but I do recall an episode of Cops waaaay back where a guy got busted for selling “weed” except it was actually oregano. He still got charged with something. But I can’t remember what.

All American States punish the sale of ersatz narcotics, under special statutes.

That makes sense. I was sort of thinking there’s likely something similar with regard to selling national secrets.

I think it all stems from a misunderstanding between buyer and seller.
