Harold Martin is scheduled to plead guilty to one count of willful retention of national defense information on January 22 in a federal court in Baltimore, according to court filings, Reuters reported.
Prosecutors said that the ex-NSA contractor spent two decades taking classified government information from the U.S. intelligence community and hoarded the secrets at his home in Maryland. The Justice Department accused Martin in 2016 of a “breathtaking” theft of government secrets.
During a raid of his home, authorities seized dozens of laptops and digital devices in addition to six full bankers’ boxes worth of documents.

Hillary comes in second place, again.
This sort of thing is illegal??? Someone should tell Huma. And Hillary. And Comey. And many other Democrats.
Did he send them to America’s enemies like the Clintons?
Perhaps the lost emails are present?
Hillary comes in second place, again.
The best comment in a month. lol
Well I’m pretty sure he didn’t intend to do it so give him a pass for goodness sake.
Who does this guy think he is? The Secretary of State?
Do we know if he ‘intended’ to break the law?
Was there intent? Because no prosecutor in his right mind would take the case without intent.
How do people like this ever get past a security check?
When I was at Intel, they knew everyone who was on a secure section of the chip.
If there was a leak, they knew one of 50 people leaked it.
Question is whether Hitlary would ever plead guilty to anything.
And not a single document was marked “Classified”.
Guilty of one count?
The DOJ should start the bargaining at Death Penalty and bargain down from there.
Why these horrific breaches of trust, possibly doing tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage if not costing lives (or both) are not punished with unbridled viciousness, I have no idea.
But I’m sure he didn’t INTEND to commit a crime, so it’s OK
Well okay then who did kill JFK??
Who killed JFK?
Grassley Mole.
What puzzles me is that these people always seem to hide this stuff IN THEIR OWN HOUSES???? (Think Hillary - after all the time she’s had to get ride of stuff - she seems to’ve thought all would be safe until a week or so ago -= so - a handy fire. )
He may have been saving evidence of all the unconstitutional, illegal goings on the gov’t in the past few years - hoping that some day - even if decades on, the truth could be known.
The FBI hopes he gave the information to Carlos Danger for safe keeping/
