This guy was so confident nothing was going to happen to him, he was leaking highly classified reports to someone running a public Substack.

He’s not the only one in Washington DC who just got a very rude awakening.

And the argument that ‘everybody was doing this and nobody was prosecuted for it and we always got away with it before!’ does not work in a courtroom and it does not win you a ‘not guilty’ verdict.

Something that a whole bunch of election officials all across the country are also about to discover.
There’s a new sheriff in town, and he ain’t fucking around.
