#1 You have to wonder what penalties the average researcher would suffer if they were to stuff classified documents in their underwear from the National Archives and then take them off premisis.

Sandy should have been forced to wear underwear on his head while he rotted in prison.

One more example of the Clinton Admin....a pox on American history.

I can tell you what would happen to an officer in the US military: they'd be facing hard time at Leavenworth.

#4 UH:
I work with stuff of way lower level classification and if did what he did, even without intent, I would have room & board supplied by the government. Three years? I would never be allowed a clearance ever again.

Still, he does have a conviction on the record, and does suffer a nominal penalty. He didn't actually walk, which, frankly, I predicted would happen.

It's an imperfect world, but it's not hell.
