Paul feels as though the U.S. government is no longer listening to the people. He believes that his right to privacy is violated every day with the use of cameras and data collection methods that infringe upon the rights of everyday citizens. He has worked at a government agency for many years and has seen firsthand the disregard for rights of individuals.

He has much of the information stored on several hard drives and intends to send it to foreign government officials and excerpts of what he has collected to news reporters. Has Paul committed a crime?

C) Yes, because he intends to communicate the information to an enemy.
