I thought Stealing Documents was fine?

I love how his last name is pronounced "to share a" and he did, in abundance

Shoulda become president first THEN leaked classified documents to russia. He'd be fine in that case.

No no no, see:

FBI Director Christopher Wray said that his sentence should serve as "a stark warning to all those entrusted with protecting national defense information: betray that trust, and you will be held accountable."

They mean business! For real this time. No take backs. While supplies last. Void in some states. Not all locations participate. Some restrictions apply.

Instead it is a message to tyrants: The US is for sale, you may loot and pillage as you desire. The law cannot and will not stop you.

Isn't that the point of capitalism?

Not only wouldn't he see a punishment, but he'd be elected a second time to do it again!

In the 2000s I thought that due to more and more people being on the internet, stories like this would be very common in the future, not just for the government, but private entities too.

In reality: Most things that happen at most workplaces are not interesting enough to leak, and most people do not want to risk their careers for something like this. So it's still relatively rare.

You fool, you're only supposed to post things like that on the Warthunder forums!

I thought I read this before, and sure enough it's a follow up to a 2023 article

TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.

Guy was only leaking to show off to a bunch of teenagers. Loser

To be fair, leaking government secrets is the most effective defense against momma jokes.

Your momma leaks government secrets.

Yo momma's lips are so loose, she leaks government secrets.

What does being admin has to do with it?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (6 children)

No idea why they worded the article that way. The person going to prison is the person who leaked the documents and was also the admin of the discord server they leaked it to.

first of all, admin of some random discord server is something else than discord admin, but that wouldn't give such nice tabloid headline...

15 years to flex as a Discord mod. 😂

Was this a more significant leak than the Gulf oil spill? I think not.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

The people responsible for that one are rich, and they can do no wrong.
