Not only has Comey proved himself a dishonest weasel, but he openly took the heat off Lynch and the DOJ by asserting so recklessly that “no reasonable prosecutor” would indict.... when we have already found an obvious example of just such a prosecution by our DOJ:

If you think of 793(f) as a parallel to murder 2, Comey may be right, the facts don't add up to that.
But that doesn't mean the facts don't add up to the classified material equivalent of "manslaughter," 18 USC 1924(a). The case in that thread is a 1924(a) case, I've linked to the indictment a few times. But today, all Comey talked about was the elements of 793(f), an offense of substantially different character.

"Deutch left the CIA on December 15, 1996[1] and soon after it was revealed that several of his laptop computers contained classified materials designated as unclassified.[clarification needed] In January 1997, the CIA began a formal security investigation of the matter. Senior management at CIA declined to fully pursue the security breach. Over two years after his departure, the matter was referred to the Department of Justice, where Attorney General Janet Reno declined prosecution. She did, however, recommend an investigation to determine whether Deutch should retain his security clearance.[7] President Clinton pardoned Deutch on his last day in office.[8] Deutch had agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor for mishandling government secrets, but President Clinton pardoned him before the Justice Department could file the case against him.[9]"
