A former CIA software engineer has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for what the government called the biggest theft of classified information in CIA history and for possession of child sexual abuse images and videos.
He neglected to do anything through proper channels, and instead betrayed his country rather than try to fix the problems through whistle blower channels where he would have actually had legal and tangible protections.
I’m not going to pretend he wasn’t reckless as fuck but don’t pretend for even a moment that “going through the proper channels” would have gotten him anything that even halfway resembled a fair trial.
