Intent is not an element of 793(f) - the standard there is gross negligence, which excludes any notion of "intent."

Intent is also not an element of 1924(a) - the standard there is "knowing." The case referred to in the OP is a 1924(a) case.

Comey's remarks indicate a focus on 793 crimes. He missed the 793(f) possibility, and the 1924(a) possibility. No accident either.
