So our FBI Director was too stupid or too crooked, to get this right?
I am not a lawyer, but I believe a good case can be made that a high ranking official carelessly handling classified material, has committed a crime whether or not they intended, period.
1. I once held a clearance, and was frequently reminded by my superiors about the consequences of carelessness.
2. My unit maintained machines for classified communication, and we guarded them with live ammunition, in peacetime Germany.
There were no excuses about good intentions, or ignorance of the laws.
