Please. 20 years ago a bunch of criminals set up their own foreign
policy group outside the government and how much jail time did they
do?

About the same amount of time a bunch of criminals who discussed
assassinating US Congressmen did.

Kerry voted against it and promptly left the group.

...and didn't tell any law enforcement officers about the conspiracy to
kill members of the US Government.

I heard hundreds of people wanting to kill Clinton, with the means and
opportunity.

What was I supposed to do, call the law every time I heard about it?

Actually, yes, if you thought it was a credible threat.

If you knew "hundreds" of people like that, you need a new set of
friends.

Those hundreds of people were not my friends.

They were Pentagon employees, all the way up the chain.

Try again.

Don't have to, you admitted that he knew about it.

Under what obligation was Kerry to report it?

Well, besides the obvious *moral* one, the obligation of any citizen who
knows of someone planning on murdering someone. If they had succeeded,
he would have been an accessory before the fact.

It's quite possible, and most likely probable, that it was not a serious
threat.
