The ex-CIA software engineer suspected of leaking a massive, highly secret trove of U.S. hacking tools and source code to WikiLeaks has been charged in federal court with a series of Espionage Act violations. Joshua Schulte, 29, allegedly disclosed thousands of top-secret files outlining the extent of the CIA’s cyberwarfare capabilities in an unprecedented breach that triggered an intensive investigation even before WikiLeaks published the information in March 2017.

So will they execute him, imprison him for life or let him go like that traitor Manning?

Back when this event happened, we were told by “U.S. officials”, that the hack was the work of the Russians. Another lie by the CIA/FBI/DNC.

Yeah, well, the Russians ate my homework.
The check was in the mail, but the Russians intercepted it.

So we should “execute” someone for leaking what one of the largest criminal organizations on the planet is doing illegally to us, is that your premise?

What should be the penalty for folks who spy on Americans 24-7?

Or a Muslim, though since Obama is gone, maybe that excuse doesn’t work as well anymore.

He is a hero.

The chief enemy of the American people is the intelligence community, which despises America and betrayed her.

It is a dishonorable line of work, now staffed with unclassy people.

I belive there are kiddy porn charges against this man and i completely disbelieve them.

It’s a CIA SMEAR.

Perhaps of interest, a number of these CIA hacking tools are designed to leave a “fingerprint” of the hacking source to be Russian, Chinese, Al-Queda, etc. So any report of a hacking source from the past or present with all these tools “in the wild” are now extremely questionable. Sigh.

Specfically, Hillary Clinton. She is apparently immune to prosecution for knowing and flagrant violations.

I’m curious id before his discovery and arrest what things he might have posted in social media anywhere - anything that might show his political leanings. Also wondering if anyone has or will ferret out any organization connections he had outside the CIA - memberships and such.

Black hat? White hat? Combination of both? It's getting difficult to know the truth.

Guilty, innocent, patsy? Either way he's either been justly charged or neutralized. Who knows.

Maybe they'll give him the choice of a sex-change operation in exchange for his freedom? /S
