That intent argument is ridiculous. I worked with classified material through Top Secret for 25 years. It was hammered into us that any violation, accidental or not, intentional or not, would have negative consequences, how severe a consequence depending on the seriousness of the breach. The ignorance argument is also rendered void by the periodic briefings every bearer of a security clearance undergoes. Comey re-wrote the law to exclude the beest.
