NSA Contractor Charged by the FBI Mishandling Classified Information

[Dashinka 24,593]

Just a reminder that Hillary's actions makes Nixon look like a saint, and that there are special rules for self described special people.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has charged a government contractor with stealing classified secrets, part of what officials said was a probe into how key U.S. computer-spying tools were removed from the National Security Agency.

Authorities unsealed court papers Wednesday charging Harold Thomas Martin, 51 years old, of Glen Burnie, Md., with theft of government property and unauthorized removal of classified materials. Mr. Martin, a former Navy officer, was arrested in late August, the papers said, but the charges were kept under seal while the FBI investigated.

It is the second black eye for the spy agency and one of its main contractors, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp., after Edward Snowden leaked stolen records in 2013. Mr. Martins arrest followed a probe launched in August after an entity calling itself Shadow Brokers claimed online to have a large cache of files that appeared to be NSA spying tools, and said it was looking to sell the information. Such programs are used to penetrate computer systems of foreign governments like Russia and China, according to officials familiar with the matter, and for that reason are among the NSAs most closely held secrets.

Officials said they are still trying to determine Mr. Martins motives or intent for taking the information. He appears to be a hoarder, said one official, but investigators are still trying to determine what may have been his ultimate goal. Some of the material found at his residence included the same type of offensive cyberweapons also offered for sale by Shadow Brokers in August, officials said.

Did he mean to?

What difference, at this point, does it make?

In another story I heard his lawyer is trying to take the Hillary defense.

I can't read the entire story on WSJ without subscribing, perhaps the connection to Hillary Clinton is in that part of the story?

Still no mention of Hillary Clinton. Where's the connection? Why was she mentioned in the op?

[Boiler 45,664]

Same crime

[Teddy B 17,252]

Not really.

[Dashinka 24,593]

Not really.

Seems to be. Classified information located in a place it didn't belong appears to be the similarity. FBI still trying to determine intent. Wonder if they will try as hard as they did with Hillary. Of course there are some differences. In this case the FBI served a warrant and took the classified information without negotiating partial immunity to interested parties. The comparison I am making is how an ordinary contractor is treated compared to Hillary. If we are all equal, why did the FBI treat Hillary and her aides with kid gloves?

Not really.

There is something going on, Many people are saying crooked Hillary, previously said that she, printed out the emails, all 33,000 extremely classified emails, onto paper and then pinned these Top Secret emails onto her walls in her totally insecure garden shed in the back of her house. This, in any other situation, and there are lot of people thinking this even if they can't say it because they are afraid of crooked Hillary, would get your or me locked up! Maybe she does not want to get it, some say. There is definitely something going on, and all I am saying is lock her up until we know what is going on, many are saying.

She'd better hope Trump doesn't win. He's talked about making Trey Gowdy the Attorney General if he does. I'm not so sure that would be good for Hillary.
