It would be interesting to compare these action with the Reality Winner classified document release.

Reality discovered a classified FBI document on a classified server confirming Russia interfered with the 2016 election to Trump’s benefit.

She released the document.

At the time Trump was complaining about Russia. Russia. Russia. Denying the Russian interference.

Reality was quickly tracked down and arrested. Quickly convicted and sentenced to prison for about 5 years. She served all of her punishment. The only one to serve the full punishment for releasing a document.

About that time Trump doubled the sentence from 5 years to 10 years per offense.

These classified information leaks should be treated the same.
