Some more statutes to chew on (found in an old post about John Deutch):

109. (U) Title 18 United States Code (U.S.C.) § 793, "Gathering,
transmitting or losing defense information" specifies in paragraph (f):

Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any
document, writing,... or information, relating to national defense ...
through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper
place of custody ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than ten years, or both.

110. (U) Title 18 U.S.C. § 798, "Disclosure of classified information"
specifies in part:


Whoever, knowingly and willfully ... uses in any manner prejudicial to the
safety or interest of the United States ... any classified information ...
obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the
communications of any foreign government, knowing the same to have been
obtained by such processes ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned
not more than ten years, or both.
111. (U) Title 18 U.S.C. § 1924, "Unauthorized removal and retention of
classified documents or material" specifies:


Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor or consultant of the United
States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position or contract,
becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified
information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or
materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or
materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined not more than $1,000,
or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
