I also agree that they're required to adhere to all laws and regulations, but there are other laws on the books that would be more applicable. Treason is a very serious charge that isn't thrown around lightly, and likely wouldn't even be considered in this case unless there is actual proof that meets the legal standard.
I'm also aware of what the definition of sequester means and it doesn't apply here. These individuals would have to be detained or arrested, and that also requires meeting a legal threshold and even then, that would have to be done by law enforcement. Unless there's another authority out there that allows sequestration of individuals under investigation, that's not going to happen.
Your arguments are without merit, and are oblivious to the facts.
An attempt to undermine the President and his administration by leaking the information from classified meetings would meet the thresh hold of treason.
These individuals took an oath of office, then they received comprehensive training on the various codes that prohibits them from releasing classified information without going through a protocol. And in that protocol it discusses releasing any information from classified meetings, and specifically discusses leaking of information and the consequences.
Plus, there is detailed training called "Cooperating with the Inspector General" which details what the IG can do and what an employee must do in the event of an IG investigation. Trust me, if this guy (IG) or his subordinates decides to sequester (and this is a proper use of the word) an individual in a closed conference room in an attempt to get down to the facts, and that person refuses, it's a removal of all credentials and an escort off the premises by armed security. And that's only the beginning.
