This is true, but in my experience Comey is correct: Without intent, precedent shows that cases of negligence are handled administratively, not criminally. The person may lose their clearance, have it suspended, or lose their job, but they definitely don’t go to jail unless there are other things going on. For example, persons who lie to investigators or otherwise obstruct investigations may be charged criminally for doing that (Libby), or persons who intentionally release information to people who shouldn’t have it (Petraeus) but that is a different matter. I have worked in this domain most of my life, and the only time I have ever seen criminal charges directly related to mishandling classified material are when espionage was the suspected motive.
