Lavarello was working on a classified thesis at the time, her lawyer Birney Bervar told CNN.

The documents she took home were three other classified theses, her lawyer told CNN, and she had no intention of transmitting the classified information or of harming the United States.

Lavarello was confronted about the documents that night, according to her plea agreement, but she did not take steps that night to return them to the embassy’s secure information facility.

Funny that CNN would run a story like that now.Three whole months in prison yet it’s covered by CNN? I’d be willing to bet that they’ve gotten a confidential memo from the Department of Just Us.

Did a Google search and she looks like the typical ghetto affirmative action hire which I suspect is why she only received 90 days.

Well, apparently Asia Janay Lavarello is not a memeber of the American royalty.
Funny, I would have thought a member of the diplomatic corp would be.
I’ll bet Asia Janay Lavarello did too.

Proper protocol is to keep such material locked in your garage. Or something.

If ‘intelligence’ is leaking to CNN AGAINST Biden - then Biden’s toast.

Everyone know that there are two sets of laws. One for common folk and another, laxer set for the elite and ruling class.

And Jan. 6th non-violent protesters are still in jail for many more months or longer than any govt document mishandler including the late Sandy Burlar Berger thief who stole classified documents from the National Archives and even destroyed some.

The Democrats are more treasonous re the Constitution than the Red Chinese and Putin combined.

I’m surprised the two of them haven’t come out as a lesbian couple yet. They would be a shoe-in for President and VP in 2024. “How brave, how strong”!

Hunter Biden’s driver’s license (above link) - same address as ‘the big guy’ and his trove of classified documents.

And yet Hillary gets a pass for a much worse violation. I wonder why. Surely justice is equally applied in the USA.
