I’d be careful to read the exact letter of the law, which at the moment I presume imposes severe penalties for publishing state secrets.
And I’d convict Hillary of exactly the same thing (deliberately exposing secrets to foreign entities capable of easily breaching “bathroom server” security).
I think some laws should be broken under certain circumstances, but am under no delusion that doing so won’t be prosecuted just because I approve.
Daniel Elsworth was worse. He stole the Pentagon papers. The NYT published.
Originally I thought I would convict him. As the years have gone by and more Swamp secrets have come out of what he has released I have moved toward nullification as the appropriate response.
Yes there were things that should not have been released - but I feel more good has been done by what has been exposed, plus he has not released everything he obtained from what I understand - so he isn’t being totally reckless.
