AIPAC Lobbyists to be cleared?

WaPo, here
The former lobbyists for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee are charged with conspiring to obtain classified information (IRAN) and pass it to journalists and the Israeli government. The sources also said the review is unrelated to the revelations that Harman, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee for much of the Bush administration, was overheard on telephone calls intercepted by the federal government.

"It's not because 'oh, this is getting ink, it's getting too hot, we need to drop it,' '' said one law enforcement source, who was not authorized to speak about the case. "We would never do it for that reason.''
