I posted a tweet about that yesterday, and the only siginificance I could glean was that this is a very good precedent for future trials of big names. And every one of these bastards need to be found and charged with their crimes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seems like it:

“...charging a former intelligence analyst with illegally obtaining classified national defense information and disclosing it to a reporter. “

And it’s obvious the reporter (and the news outlet) knew the classified nature of the materials they were receiving and “leaking” so the reporter/outlet must therefore also be guilty of crimes....

"Significant?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd definitely say so:

~~~~~~~~~

And there's this quotation from the article -- with only three(3) letters changed:

HRC is charged with obtaining national defense information, retention and transmission of national defense information, causing the communication of national defense information, disclosure of classified communications intelligence information, and theft of government property. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To me, that does look ominously, presciently -- and hopefully -- "Significant".

With anticipation,

WOW! I suspect so. Setting the stage? Setting current precedent?
