If there’s one thing I know about, it’s classified documents- all the way up. Twenty years in the military, all classified, TS-cleared almost the whole time, read in to the Mountain (Cheyenne) ending a 20-year-long stint there as a Command COMSEC Inspector. Then there was Lockheed, and it just got better (worse?). My resume is on LinkedIn, but most of it is hidden in government records from places where people weren’t allowed to talk about what they did for a living.
I saw a few people get in trouble with it over the years. It was always just carelessness, except for the hacking crap. There’s a long list of those fuckers still running around free because they live in China and other places where the State freely and openly engages in all sorts of skullduggery. When the shyt went wrong, prosecution vs. soft discipline always just boiled down to intent.
Here’s a big newsflash for anybody who thinks there is even the slightest comparison between BIden and Trump’s classification issues: They play fast and loose at that level, and most of them don’t even know the rules. I just told you how and why it typically happens. There’s a guy named Jack Smith who’s soon gonna tell everybody about one of those rare cases.
