He wielded it as a sword when he abused his access to classified information and he relied on it as a shield to hide his criminal activity. The dualism of secrecy inherent in Defendant’s job is another reason why it is important to send a strong message at sentencing and deter other former members of the intelligence community from breaking the law to make some extra money.

A strong message at sentencing only goes so far. People have to also believe they have a reasonable risk of getting caught. Otherwise, they don’t care how harsh the sentence is when they don’t believe it will happen to them.

Everyone that has access to sensitive information should know that anything they do can and will be logged. Its usually just a matter of time before you get caught.
