This link has a copy of it. There is a lot to comment on. But for now I'll concentrate on just one item. Page 3 notes possible violations of 18 USC 793(e), which it quotes as follows:
"Under 18 US Code 793(e) '[w]hoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document...or information related to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury or the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered or transmitted,' or attempts to do or causes the same, 'to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer of employee of the United States entitled to receive it,' shall be fined or imprisoned nor more than ten years, or both."
The legitimate speculation then is that Twitler may have not just illegally had the documents but shared, or intended to share, them with those "not entitled to receive it." Otherwise why did they even include that verbiage of the statute if it was just about retaining the documents?
