So you knew the law actually states negligence, omitted that, then claimed it didn’t.

I was hoping that you’d fall into the obvious trap, and you did. Here’s me giving you the same lesson 5 years ago:

@TheDoctorIsIn

I have read the statute - and it does no such thing. In fact, all of the sections of the Act aside from one mention specific intent.

As for the section you’re trying to use (the one that only requires “gross negligence”) - 18 USC 793(f) - there’s a reason why no one in history has ever been convicted under it - it’s unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court ruled in Gorin v. United States that absent scienter (bad faith, knowledge of wrongdoing, intent), the Espionage Act would be unconstitutional, and therefore any conviction under it requires such intent.

You understand you’re still wrong, right?

And you understand that the law still says negligence, omitting it, and then denying it has a word that we can’t call other people.
