A CIA analyst has been sentenced to 7 days in jail for hacking a neighbor's e-mail. The e-mailer was looking into accusations that Robert Mueller was accused of sexual misconduct.
From Politico:
Mark Tolson, 60, pleaded guilty in September to a single misdemeanor charge of computer fraud and abuse for his unusual effort last fall to derail eccentric Washington lobbyist Jack Burkman’s attempt to obtain information to be used in sexual misconduct allegations against Mueller.
Tolson admitted he unlawfully accessed Burkman’s emails in October 2018, after the conspiracy-minded lobbyist announced plans to hold a news conference to air sexual harassment allegations against Mueller.
After snooping through Burkman’s account, Tolson sent screenshots of the messages and offered the password to an unspecified journalist, court filings say.
Tolson’s wife, Sarah Gilbert Fox, facilitated the illicit access by providing Burkman’s email password, which she had obtained for work she’d previously done for him.
Just 7 days and a fine of $500 for this sort of abuse of power? And he was not forced to divulge which journalists received this information? And his wife got off? This was in no way an isolated incident.The Judge in the case was a Clinton appointee.
If this fellow got caught, I guarantee you there are a hundred CIA hackers rummaging around in private citizens' files who do not. This is serious as a heart attack, folks.
We fought a Cold War to stop people from doing this sort of thing to us. Now it is considered perfectly acceptable.
