I think this is another case of Rankism, if this was just an "ordinary Joe," the consequences would've been more severe, especially for spilling classified information.

It's tough to know, as there are very few cases of more junior folks in a similar situation (giving access to a biographer who is a service member, etc.). It's a very rare case.

It may be a rare case but that does not excuse anything. This guy held some of the highest "special trust and confidence" positions within our national security apparatus and FAILED --- he should be held fully accountable for his actions.

He was a General Officer and the CIA Director? Sentencing does not fit the crime! I have seen enlisted members that have done less get more punishment then that!
