Not sure about jail, because is this a crime that serious?
It’s dangerous and clearly violates any papers he signed regarding his security clearance.
This could definitely be seen as a severe violation of his clearance or badge. I do not know what level of clearance he has but he has to have something working on the Hill with access to the information he has access to.
he will be seen as a hero to the stoned morons on twitter but he will lose his job and should lose any hope of ever being around any type of classified information.
What else would he leak if he thought it would hurt POTUS or a Republican? Reality Winner, anyone?
It could be viewed and prosecuted as an attempt to assassinate the lives of Senators.
I think It will be treated more seriously than a few months in prison.
Some are felony-related charges. If he gets a good lawyer, and just admit guilt to the misdemeanor charges...he’d get off with just a fine and a year of probation (my humble feeling). But if the Justice Department goes after just one of the felony charges and wins, he’d probably do at least four to six months in some prison. His clearance would be shot, and jobs will be limited in the future.
It’s a total waste of good prison space though. If I were the judge, I’d mandate you have to go and get a real job (physical labor like digging ditches), and zero social media usage for three years. And I’d make him go and personally apologize to each single person he injured in some fashion.
Yes, it's that serious. He quite literally jeopardized the lives of those he doxxed.
Throw him in jail with a bar of soap and a tube of anal lube. He's gonna need it.
