I like the blog, Emptywheel when I want detailed discussion of legal matters in the news.
They just added this post:
TRUST: IN BID FOR STAY, DOJ LIKENED TRUMP TO CATASTROPHIC INTELLIGENCE COMPROMISE .
It is about a man named Nghia Pho, who, along with a man named Hal Martin, committed the same crime Trump did at Mar A Lago -stealing classified documents. It begins with this:
..”There’s a detail in DOJ’s request for a stay of Judge Aileen Cannon’s injunction on using stolen Trump documents to investigate Trump that hasn’t gotten enough attention. ...”:
..”[T]he exposure of the United States’ classified information outside of secure spaces may result in the destruction of intelligence-gathering efforts used to protect this nation. Mr. Pho, who voluntarily assumed this responsibility, ignored his oath to his country and the NSA by taking classified information outside of secure spaces, thereby placing that information in significant jeopardy.’...
The Emptywheel post says Pho was sentenced in 2018 for this.
So, I looked that up.
Wow!
I found this:
