I handled Top Secret and below information daily for 20 years.
I remember back when I was a Missile Technician in the US Navy and Readers Digest published an article about the Poseidon Missile program. They had listed many things that were Top Secret in the articles as in the number of warheads, ranges etc...
Did they break the law when they published it? The answer is no. Because it was not published as an official document, but as speculation. It was not verified even though we all knew that much of it was true and factual. Now if we had come out and verified that this information was indeed true then we would be guilty as we were in the loop so to speak due to our positions and training about this system.
Patraous and Hillary are guilty due to their positions and knowledge of the information they possessed.
Me posting shit that was in the news is not the same thing, regardless of how you and that other asshole try and spin it.
If you cannot see this I am sorry for you.
How do you know they had any knowledge that the information was classified? You have literally no idea. Her ‘offense’ could very well be completely identical to your ‘offense’ of discussing Snowden.
I worked in radio central for almost my entire naval career and I have a lot of experience with the type of news that is and is not classified. If you handled classified information for 20 years and didn’t know that you’re only responsible for information you know to be classified you were grossly mistrained.
