You can disagree all you want. That doesn't change the fact any more then this idiot paperview disagreeing that Hillary committed espionage with her server doesn't change the fact that she did.
Nonsense. People have been prosecuted for revealing less.
A Navy sailor entered a guilty plea Friday in a classified information mishandling case that critics charge illustrates a double standard between the treatment of low-ranking government employees and top officials like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and ex-CIA Director David Petraeus.
Prosecutors allege that Petty Officer First Class Kristian Saucier used a cellphone camera to take photos in the classified engine room of the nuclear submarine where he worked as a mechanic, the USS Alexandria, then destroyed a laptop, camera and memory card after learning he was under investigation.
Last July, Saucier was indicted on one felony count of unlawful retention of national defense information and another felony count of obstruction of justice. He pleaded guilty Friday to the classified information charge, which is part of the Espionage Act, a prosecution spokesman confirmed. No charge of espionage was filed and no public suggestion has been made that he ever planned to disclose the photos to anyone outside the Navy....
Sub sailor's photo case draws comparisons to Clinton emails
Are you serious? Transmitting pictures of a nuclear submarine's engine room is FAR more serious than telling someone troop morale was low. Do you have ANY idea of the level of clearance you have to have to get inside that room?
If all hiLIARy did was the troop morale email, then it would be a minor breach. When combined with the vast amount of years and years of emails, this sailor is being treated in a much harsher fashion than is the Dowager Empress of Chappaqua.
I don't disagree with your point. I'm just saying that the material does have to rise to a certain level before it is considered a crime to disseminate it.
And certainly taking pictures of the inside of a nuclear sub is a pretty serious breach.
So is quite a bit of the info on hiLIARy's server. If this sailor is sentenced to a few years in prison for a couple of photos (that were on his phone, the article doesn't say he sent them to anyone), then Lady Pantsuit should receive several life sentences.
You understand that I agree with you , right?
I don't think that sailor will get a few years though. He'll probably get a general discharge and that's it.
