    We’ve known since Snowden that these people browse private info for fun, and exchange anything spicy they find with each other. But this guy was straight up selling classified info to anyone who would buy it.

    I’m shocked they’re letting this guy off with a plea deal. This was so far beyond misuse of systems. This was full on treason.

      He probably kept it all in cardboard boxes in his bathroom, which as we all know is totally fine now.

        Depends which kind of partisan you’re talking to. One kind believes it’s ok to keep them in boxes in a bathroom. The other kind thinks ok to keep them in the trunk of a car or a private server.

        Reasonable people want both kinds held accountable.

        More likely they didn’t want to set a precedent of prosecuting people for selling state secrets, since they’re all doing it.
