Joshua Adam Schulte, who worked for a CIA group that designs computer code to spy on foreign adversaries, was charged in a 13-count superseding indictment with illegally gathering and transmitting national defense information and other related counts in connection with what is considered to be one of the most significant leaks in CIA history. The indictment accused Schulte of causing sensitive information to be transmitted to an organization, which is not named in the indictment but is thought to be WikiLeaks.

"In a release, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said unlawful disclosure of classified intelligence “can pose a grave threat to our national security, potentially endangering the safety of all Americans.”

"William F. Sweeney Jr., head of the New York FBI office, said Schulte “utterly betrayed this nation and downright violated his victims. As an employee of the CIA, Schulte took an oath to protect this country, but he blatantly endangered it by the transmission of classified Information.”

Classified information on her personal email servers in violation of the Espionage Act (no children intent is not required).

And according to the recent FBI report, her servers were hacked and the classified information was accessed by a foreign entity.

Not too mention Clinton did not have approval from the State Department to use a personal server.
