She’s so smart she didn’t know jailhouse phones were tapped.
She should have spent more time watching prison movies, instead of pumping iron, if she was planning on sharing classified info with the press.
I doubt this was her first time sharing info. She was reported to have inserted a USB drive into a classified computer before she left the Air Force, and of course that drive is now missing. Probably in the hands of our enemies. How she was allowed to leave the Air Force without having to turn it over, and without facing any discipline is beyond me. She obviously got an honorable discharge, but there's got to be a story behind all of it.
The problem with criminals, all of them, is that they get sloppy in their work. The longer they go without getting caught, the more arrogant and carless they become. They get to believe that they won't get caught, but sooner or later, it catches up with them.
