By never do you mean not supposed too?What is the crime?"Criminal" investigation? No there is not one of those going on.I'll wait and see on this hacker's story, but I mean you do acknowledge that obviously the criminal investigation is real, right?
For fuck's sakes, of course there is.
Exposing TSecret messaging to a non-secure communications environment. Same as if she picked up a TS convo on her blackberry phone. .That level material NEVER LEAVES a CERTIFIED secured environment. And she KNOWS by looking at it whether it is subject to classification or not. You do not need proof of hacking or interception. You only need proof that the comm traffic left CERTIFIED containment.
Any other questions?
Didn't stop Snowden. ..
Snowden OBVIOUSLY broke laws. LOTS of them. But he also attempted to object to the stuff he eventually decided to disclose.
In the case of conducting your classified business on a COMMERCIAL outside comm link -- stufff was exposed RANDOMLY and had TIME critical value to the protection of State Employees worldwide. It's just as serious..
